Based on statistical results, many people are still unaware of the severity of the hazards resulting from wrong handling procedures in hydraulics, even among those working directly in the field.

Digitalisation and the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) is enabling mining companies to extract more contextualised information across their business and operation, breaking down silos through the integration of systems and collaborations between business units and their teams.

You could call Epiroc’s Mobilaris Mining Intelligence (MMI) software ‘visionary’ and you’d be right in both the figurative and literal sense. It gives an underground mining operation the ability to see every asset – human or machine – located on the site.

Modern underground mining takes place in extreme environments with a unique set of operating conditions. Underground vehicle tyres exposed to such conditions must be capable of handling heavy loads, extreme rim-pull and high average speeds while negotiating narrow drives with harsh underfoot conditions. All these factors combined can result in high potential for cut damage. … Continue reading The Bridgestone benefit: OTR Tyres for Underground Mining →
