Innovyze invites you to watch their digital webinar addressing key water challenges in the mining industry using artificial intelligence (AI).

Wednesday, Oct 21, 2020  1:00pm – 2:00pm AEST Miners are under continued pressure to increase the efficiency of their machines, avoid downtime and optimise processes to improve safety and save on costs. Simultaneously, digital transformation is opening up a world of visibility for mining operations. Mining machinery – whether it be stacker reclaimers, heavy loaders … Continue reading Mining Technology Master Class: Unlocking Valuable Data From Machinery →

The Beltor Mine Extraction Device (MED) has performed hundreds of successful extractions at a number of underground mining operations (both coal and hard rock) across Australia.

Mining is a complex industry where the stakes are high and the rewards great. It takes meticulous planning and flawless execution in order to succeed, with the logistics chain only as strong as its weakest link.

Rockwell Automation has added Live View Support to its TechConnect offering for all customers. Live View Support, powered by FactoryTalk InnovationSuite Vuforia Chalk, enables  remote support engineers to more effectively troubleshoot and resolve issues. 

Proximity detection systems in mining have been developed and implemented to enhance the safety of miners working in and around mobile machinery. But what about potential dangers associated with fixed equipment that have moving parts?

Stieber Clutch torque limiting/load sharing backstops with release functionality allow the tension of a jammed mine conveyor belt to be carefully released using a simple hydraulic pump. These releasable backstops are capable of performing as many reverse rotations as required (within the limits of energy dissipation) to completely unload a conveyor prior to performing maintenance … Continue reading Next generation Stieber releasable backstops offer improved performance and functionality →

Steel pipe is synonymous with strength. In comparison with any other pipe material, steel offers the highest strength, in proportion to wall thickness of any commercial piping material. As a ferrous material if not adequately protected from the potential of corrosion, its longevity may be reduced. With over 100 years local and international supply experience, … Continue reading High quality locally made pipe solutions for life →

Download Berendsen’s list of exchange cylinders – and get your mine back in motion.

This playbook by DINGO looks at what predictive maintenance means and how you can maximise the data you already have, bring all your data into one system, transform your data into actionable intelligence, implement the right process and empower your employees.

The measurement of some gases is complex, each measuring principle has its advantages and disadvantages. 

Modern mines have not only made the job easier for human workers, but they are also enabling new efficiencies in many different mining operations. One example of this is the efficient use of water enabled by artificial intelligence (AI). In this live webinar, Innovyze will uncover challenges facing the mining industry relating to water costs … Continue reading A guide to AI: Optimising water use in the mining industry →

Moolarben Coal had been experiencing difficulties mining through soft and altered dykes on the site, particularly in the presence of groundwater.

Boral required an MCC solution that would meet the highest standards, be cost effective as well as adopting integration benefits. SS Electrics was engaged to implement a solution to modernise the electric equipment at the Charlton quarry.

Strata Worldwide Emergency Refuge Chambers, coupled with the company’s DigitalBRIDGE communication network, provides a complete safety system for the ultimate mine emergency preparedness.

An iron ore processing facility in Western Australia has worked with its original equipment manufacturer, McLanahan, to optimise the rotary trommels to handle high tonnage and wear rates. 

In a large Australian coal mine, a significant crack developed in one of the main walls of the pit. Finding a robust platform that could reliably measure any deviation in the wall and alert management immediately, was critical to mitigate safety and production risk.
