Nearly 20 years ago, Caterpillar says it changed the dynamics of managing haul roads with the introduction of the Cat Water Delivery System (WDS). Designed to work with an existing Cat truck platform, the system controls dust and addresses underwatering and overwatering issues. In 2015, Caterpillar engineers enhanced the Cat WDS by developing an automated[…]

alwaysAI, a developer of Vision AI technology and Becker Mining Systems, a renowned leader in mining solutions and technologies, have announced a strategic partnership. The collaboration “aims to transform the mining industry’s value chain, significantly enhancing productivity, safety, and operational efficiency.” Together they will develop advanced computer vision (CV) applications that will address challenges such[…]

Hexagon has announced the newest generation of its advanced Hexagon Collision Avoidance System (CAS), now supporting 4D radar technology, enhanced insights, and interoperability with the Hexagon Personal Alert tagging system. The significant upgrade it says positions Hexagon CAS as the most advanced collision prevention system on the market. The upgraded CAS has already been installed[…]

Caterpillar’s advanced mining vision, Cat Precision Mining, is designed to improve and streamline every step of the mining process, from extraction to processing, bringing mine-to-mill theory into reality, the company says. The initiative will bring everything together as a fully integrated, end-to-end solution that is customised to the mining operation’s specific requirements and unique orebody[…]

With the mining industry’s growing understanding and openness to the benefits of digitalisation and artificial intelligence (AI), it was only a matter of time before some of the big OEMs ventured further into the software development space. That time is now with Metso having, today, opened a Digital Design and Development Studio in Krakow, Poland,[…]

BEUMER Group says it will outline the considerable advantages in efficiency, safety, and sustainability of digitalisation in mining at the MINExpo exhibition in Las Vegas, Nevada, from 24 to 26 September 2024. Visitors to the event can find out how digitalisation can be a catalyst for change. Digitalisation in mining enables organisations to collect and[…]

Maptek will soon release BlastMCF for automated blast design in a move that, it says, will lighten the engineering load for customers. BlastMCF revolutionises blast design for surface operations, generating scenarios that consider competing objectives while engineers retain fine control, according to the company. Balancing the interrelated factors to optimise competing blast objectives is an[…]
