THE CONNECTED MINER
In this technology rich era with connectivity, some mining companies still seem unwilling to embrace new technologies.
While we all know the age old adage of " If it ain't broke then dont fix it" , mining companies need to be be saying "If there is a better way then do it".
Satellite should be considered in the first instance, after all, it IS the network we rely upon when disasters strike. often it is all we have got in such times, that in itself should move it to the top of the connectivity discussion. Just some of the benefits include:
Onsite Infrastructure(Comms towers, Mesh etc) & Maintenance: There is none!
Time To Deploy: Hours!, not days, weeks or sometimes months.
Bandwidth: What ever is required including fleet automation capability
Cost: You will be pleasantly surprised
Services: Voice, Internet,Vision - Monitoring,Production,Maintenance, Automation,Processing
Location: Anywhere there are mining operations
Placement & Capability: From a farm gate to a highly functioning wash plant, from an administration office to a haul truck.
Machine to Machine: Anywhere at anytime including the bottom of a pit in one country to the same activity in another country all in real time.
The True Connecter Miner is now a reality
