Proximity Detection
The ProVision Proximity Detection Module protects capital assets by minimizing the risk of mining equipment accidents through advanced GPS-tracking technology. Using the module, operators receive real-time notifications of unsafe proximity to hazards. The system is currently functioning on some of the world’s top producing copper and iron ore mine sites.
The Proximity Detection Module has a three-level alarm system. The first-level alarm, which consists of a text message and a short beep being sent to the operator, is triggered upon detection of equipment or hazards within the equipment’s safe zone. If the detected equipment or hazard encroaches further into the safe zone, the system then triggers the second- and third-level alarms. The third-level alarm is continuous and will not cease until the danger is averted.
The Modular ProVision system operates on the MasterLink communication architecture and integrates seamlessly with the DISPATCH system. The system is also available for shovels, excavators, drills, and dozers. www.modularmining.com
