The Future of Surface and Subsurface Mining Technology: Defining a New Era of Mine Safety
From machinery failures to collisions, cave-ins and explosions, mining is one of the world’s most dangerous professions – especially around heavy-duty vehicles, falling rocks and hazardous airborne substances.
Typically geographically dispersed as a result of the range of natural resources found around the globe, our unrivalled remote monitoring solution effortlessly integrates into existing radio hardware, IoT sensors and autonomous vehicles and drone systems – effectively monitoring and relaying equipment health and critical processes from remote sites back to control centres or monitoring stations in real-time. Whether it’s an open pit mine or an underground mining operation, ensuring the safety and security of miners holds the key to avoiding injuries, fatalities, legal liabilities and boosting business longevity.
Seamlessly integrating with a variety of unmanned vehicle applications, providing autonomous haulage trucks with up-to-date visual information to respond to changes in terrain or unexpected obstacles is a perfect example of low latency, real-time video monitoring in action.
Dynamically evolving to keep applications, equipment and surface and subsurface mining operations running, sophisticated onboard real-time intelligence combined with low bandwidth video management is also being used for post-mine monitoring to ensure decommissioning, remediation and rehabilitation is executed properly.
Aiming to cut operational emissions by a minimum of 30% by 2030, the tension is mounting on mining companies to accelerate the transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy to remain on track for meeting the 2050 net zero deadline. Combined with various operational, safety and security threats, progressive mining companies are investing in AI-ready, remote monitoring tools to overcome these threats, whilst lowering insurance premiums, heightening productivity and, above all, cultivating a robust safety culture.
Dedicated to reducing their impact on climate change and removing risks caused by climate events, increasing numbers of mining companies are using renewable energy to power critical operations and vehicles. From wind power to solar to electrification, these come with their own set of challenges to deal with, and where real-time video is needed, Videosoft can help optimise new workflows and processes too.
Obstacles, changing layouts, uneven terrain, network congestion and coverage gaps all play a part in mining network disruption. Providing ‘always on’ real-time video over wireless CCTV networks including Mesh, Radio, Satellite and Cell, we deliver adaptive compression and secure real-time video streaming that surpasses the rest. Designed to support land and open pit mines, offshore and underground mining mineral extraction, handling and processing operations, mining machinery manufacturers, mining technology providers, and more.
Industrial-Grade Wireless CCTV Solutions for Imaging and Monitoring Mines in Real-Time
From iron ore to coal, as well as copper, lithium and other materials, we understand the unique challenges faced by the mining industry. Preventing accidents and maintaining strict health and safety compliance, our advanced real-time guidance solutions are designed to meet the operational and network limitations of high-pressure mining operations.
Mine Fleet Tracking
Used to optimise the performance and maintenance of crucial mining vehicles, as the industry transitions towards full autonomy to improve safety, efficiency and sustainability, video compression technology is instrumental in supporting the seamless integration of video feeds within autonomous vehicles – providing exceptional real-time monitoring and optimising route planning and decision-making capabilities.
Safety Inspections & Equipment Monitoring
Often operated by control centres 100’s of miles away, the ability to closely observe mining equipment and assess the structural integrity of slope stability and underground tunnels is crucial for effective accident prevention and ensuring smooth operations. Videosoft’s advanced video analytics algorithms can be applied to compressed video feeds to detect anomalies, predict maintenance needs, enhance continuous operational efficiency and maintain site integrity.
Mining Site Security
At risk of theft, vandalism and perimeter breaches, ensuring no harm comes to miners, equipment or materials is crucial for maintaining compliance, preventing disruption and protecting valuable equipment and raw materials. From the perimeter to the rock face and beyond, Videosoft’s advanced video compression solutions are invaluable for detecting unauthorised access and verifying incidents in real time.
Surveying & Mapping
Ensuring safety at every turn, surveying and mapping helps mining operations locate mineral deposits precisely, plan open pit mine and underground layouts, monitor landscape changes, ensure regulatory compliance and support mine closure and reclamation. Capable of mapping large areas and reducing surveyor’s time spent underground, real-time BVLOS video streaming using drones is revolutionising the mining industry – making surveying hard-to-reach locations possible, minimising human exposure to unsafe conditions and improving accuracy and efficiency.
PPE Detection
Hard hats, footwear and protective clothing are standard Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) requirements in mining. Seamlessly integrating into existing radio hardware and third party AI applications, Videosoft’s adaptive video monitoring software facilitates inspecting, identifying and relaying PPE violations back to central control in real-time. Designed to enhance miner safety and reduce injuries and downtime, compressed video data can also be used to detect trends and patterns in PPE usage and develop workplace safety training programs.
