IN MINING -‐ A NEW WORLD IS OPENING

PRODUCTIVITY

TIME

•  Produc:vity in mining has grown by a factor of twenty in the last 40 years

•  In open pit mines, maintenance related costs makes up 50% of all OpEX.

•  In underground mines, maintenance related costs represents 30-‐40% of all OpEx.

•  Mine Automa?on investments pays off

When basic communica:on and posi:oning technologies are in place, a new world of possibili:es opens up

–  Increased mine automa:on –  Increased personnel safety –  Increased Visibility –  Real-‐Time data collec:on

MINING CHALLENGES •  Generic

–  Increase efficiency – decrease the cost to produce one ton of ore

–  Increase safety – decrease number of incidents •  Process automa:on

–  Remote controlled or autonomous machines –  Wireless controlled blasts –  Communica:on of produc:on data

•  Process control –  Beaer visualiza:on of the mine in 3D –  Increased decision support –  Alarm handling from equipment, sensors etc.

•  Communica:on and posi:oning –  Data and voice communica:on –  Posi:oning of personnel, equipment and vehicles –  Wireless sensors


INCREASED EFFICIENCY •  It is not unusual that the face u:liza:on in underground mines is

typical 25%. This usually due to reasons such as:

–  Blast ven:la:on, machine breakdowns, shim changes, lunch breaks and travel :me within mine reduce face u:liza:on

–  The complex sequencing of mine opera:on combined with a variable environment challenges op:miza:on of produc:on

•  Mine Automa:on makes it possible to run a underground mine

24/7 and enhance the face u:liza:on. Open pit mines and underground can op:mize machine u:liza:on

•  Autonomous Machines enables huge improvements but requires

huge investments and takes :me to implement •  A Mining Opera:onal Centre enables improvements both in short

and long term –  Easy and fast to implement –  Requires an exis:ng datacom infrastructure 0

Developed in coopera:on with & used by, Boliden and LKAB

NEXT GEN PROCESS AUTOMATION & CONTROL

•  Increase the situa:on awareness in the underground mines by enabling real-‐:me posi:oning of vehicles, equipment and personnel together with visualiza:on in 3D maps

•  Increase the collabora:on between your personnel in the

underground mine by integra:on of voice, messaging and CCTV services from the 3D view of the mine

•  Make beaer decisions by enabling data integra:on of various

informa:on sources to each visualized resource in the underground mine. Making it possible to search and visualize all tracked items (vehicles, equipment and personnel)

•  Increase the mine automa:on by crea:on of sta:c or dynamical

geofences with customized triggers and ac:ons, e.g posi:on based ven:la:on control

•  Avoid produc:on boalenecks by visualizing the mining process in 3D and correla:ng the reality with the produc:on planning and Workforce Management System

•  Allow us to help you with Quality Assurance

–  Make sure that the loading of materials have been performed in the correct part of the mine

–  Avoiding people wai:ng on each other: Iden:fy people that

has performed their tasks but forgot to report –  Full integra:on to 3rd party applica:ons such as Dispatch

systems.

A NEW DIMENSION TO PERSONAL SAFETY

•  Automate the surveillance of dangerous areas by adding geofences (user defined digital fences) that limit access to recently blasted areas, areas with dangerous gases, unsecure areas – high rock tension

•  Simplify your permission access. E.g. limit access for personnel to certain

areas using geofences (can be integrated with HR system in use) •  Minimize the :me for evacua:on by determine the best emergency escape

routes when there is an accident and send this informa:on to personnel at the right loca:ons

•  Posi:on personnel more accurately by integra:ng mul:ple posi:on sources

(which increases the quality of the posi:on data and hence beaer and safer decisions)

A ROBUST, LOW RISK SOLUTION FOR AUTOMATION

Mobilaris solu:on covers a mul:tude of posi:on technologies. This allows the Mobilaris approach to reuse your exis:ng data/telecom solu:on to create a technology agnos:c RTLS solu:on – i.e. a cost-‐efficient solu:on that could be based upon:

•  A mining solu:on developed in partnership with high-‐tech mining corpora:ons as part of the Future mining strategies.

•  A proven solu:on with focus on real customer value func:ons •  A robust mining solu:on that is easy to deploy

SCENARIOS

Where is the nearest pump?

What is the shortest route to Block 8-‐820?

I wonder if this is the route?

There is an alarm where am I?

I wonder when the scaling

machine is now?

Is this an updated map?

The fuelling sta?on should be here somewhere?

Where are they? I can´t see them on

the screen.

Ven?la?on on full speed but no one

there

Hmmm this seem to be the wrong machine.


EXAMPLE OF CUSTOMER VALUE 1(8)

In some mines, the ven:la:on is controlled and setup according to the planned work, not how its actually done. According to exper:ze the energy cost for the ven:la:on can be reduced in many areas with more precise decision support. Es:mates on 20-‐30 % reduc:on of energy cost is proposed •  Decisions based on density of vehicles and personnel

in a specific area combined with intelligent geofences will create the basis for this reduc:on


•  A good decision support system transforms data to informa:on and then informa:on to ac?on

•  All mining opera:on center workers are not equally experienced.

With a good decision support system the less experienced will have a much beaer performance and learning curve and even the experienced will improve

•  3D visualiza:on of the mine and the assets will give a direct

improvement of the process flow •  Possibility to connect underground and ground level visualiza:on

with addi:onal benefits •  Tracking of

–  Vehicles –  Equipment –  Staff – with privacy protec:on

•  Some examples: –  Visualisa:on –Overview

•  A tool for an opera:on center for viewing •  Easy access to other posi:oning based decision

systems launched in the visualiza:on mode

–  Geofencing •  Trigger alarms or events based on people or vehicle

movements in an area

–  Search and filtering func:ons •  Filtering of vehicles types, roles, equipment type •  Searching for people/vehicles/equipment closest to a

posi:on (calculate es:mated distance)

–  Messaging services •  Direct messages to staff or vehicles in a certain area


•  Traffic management

–  Improved logis:cs through visualiza:on –  When a danger or obstacle occurs reroute or stop other

vehicles by dynamic geofencing and messaging –  Avoid unnecessary :me for finding fuel or oil depots

knowing the loca:on of the closest one –  Improve road maintenance by finding equipment like

traffic signs, informa:on signs, … by using cost efficient RFID iden:fied equipment

•  Traffic management

–  Gevng informa:on about traffic density –  Warning other vehicles of traffic disturbing events –  Improve evacua:on by direc:ng staff and vehicles based

on their posi:on –  Direct informa:on to vehicles mee:ng in narrow areas


•  Guidance when an accident occurs

–  Specific guidance to personnel how to evacuate based on their posi:on

–  Directed communica:on to the personnel in

danger zones. Checking for response or movements

–  Indica:on of people s:ll lem in the danger

zones

•  Replay of events

–  Amer an accident vehicles, personnel and equipment posi:ons can replayed to understand and inves:gate causes. To improve and avoid similar events

•  Quality assurance

–  Check that loading has been performed from-‐to the right posi:on

–  Quality assurance of processes (example: a person has lem an area but not reported that the task is finished)


•  Geofencing

–  By making it easy to create permanent or temporary geofences personnel or mining opera:on can be alerted that someone is moving into a restricted area – avoiding unnecessary produc:on stops

–  Geofences can be created by mining

opera:ons or automa:cally by seismic warning systems or other alert

•  Alarm func:onality

–  Personnel not moving amer a specified :me may be injured

–  Personnel or vehicles passing a geofence

•  Automa:c events coupled to triggers

–  Automa:c warnings to people or vehicles moving into areas with remotely controlled vehicles

–  Automa:c events based on roles – specific roles may have access to an area but not others


•  Mining automa:on is dependent on infrastructure for communica:on, posi:oning and GIS informa:on

•  Measurement of service level for Wi-‐Fi network is

a key

–  Vehicles can be equipped with automa:c measurement equipment and Wi-‐Fi coverage can be visualized in 3D

•  Example of func:onality:

–  Simplify extension of Wi-‐Fi-‐network

•  A tool for IT department to view status and plan reconfigura:on

•  Iden:fy faulty access points

–  Simplify the measurement of the mine (GIS)

•  Tools for IT personnel to add informa:on to the 3D map and synchronize with the mine maps


•  Fault repor:ng and planned maintenance

–  Handheld clients help personnel to simplify repor:ng of faults and broken equipment with their posi:on

–  Planning of repair personnel movement

based on faulty units loca:on


•  Naviga:on in the mine for everyone but maybe specifically for new people

–  Simple tablets or even smart phones with

3D visualiza:on gives you informa:on about where you are and where to go

–  Access to handheld search func:ons –  Easier decisions based on more local

informa:on will off-‐load central mine opera:ons

•  Evacua:on support

–  When an emergency situa:on occur route direc:ons can be visualized individually to find way out or finding an escape pod
