Fleet management
Close
Challenge
Poor network connectivity Weak network connectivity at mining sites disrupts data exchange between autonomous trucks and control centers, causing operational delays and safety risks.
Outcome
Enhanced awareness enables more efficient decision-making Dispatchers use the CC Aware application for a unified view of fleet operations, including vehicle locations and environmental conditions. By integrating data from sensors, tracking systems, and equipment performance, coupled with AI analytics, the system not only detects trends but also refines routing and enhances overall operational efficiency.
Previous
Solution
High-speed LTE enhances incident response coordination and awareness 4G and 5G broadband technologies provide high-speed communication between autonomous trucks and control centers, enabling live video streaming and remote control. In case of incidents like obstacles stopping the trucks, the control center is promptly notified and can respond appropriately with the help of the live video feed.
Close
Challenge
Extending communication beyond remote locations Drivers who travel through remote areas often encounter challenges in communicating with their team, and their safety becomes more critical in the event of an accident.
Outcome
Constant support for the team Dispatch keeps track of driver locations and routes via journey management, enabling the prioritisation of tasks accordingly.
Previous
Solution
Instant connection for seamless collaboration Connected to dispatch, drivers can swiftly seek emergency aid, with journey managers keeping a close watch on their locations. Meanwhile, dispatch ensures vital updates are delivered, and the LTE handheld device can adapt to existing systems for seamless integration.

Challenge
Dragline people and vehicle proximity safety Dragline operations present significant safety challenges due to the sheer size and power of the machinery. Hazards include the risk of collisions with personnel or vehicles within the dragline's large operating radius, and the potential for accidents.
Outcome
Automate dragline safety The detection system can slow down or stop the machine, preventing accidents. By providing real-time awareness of nearby hazards it can significantly enhance safety and reduce the risk of collisions in complex mining environments.
Previous
Solution
Real-time proximity detection Dragline operations are made safer with a proximity detection system combining video, GPS, and radio tracking to monitor people and vehicles to create virtual safety zones. When personnel or vehicles come into close proximity an automated alert will be triggered, warning both the operator and those in the vicinity of the potential collision risk.
Close
Challenge
Lack of visibility across sites Remote accommodation camps can be vulnerable to antisocial behaviours and workers can feel unsafe when walking alone in between facilities and work sites.
Outcome
Initiate intelligent response, threat mitigated AI software instantly activates a voice alert upon detecting an emergency, while the sROC centralises video, voice, and data in real-time, ensuring quick and unified situational awareness across various sites.
Previous
Solution
Enhance visibility across sites through integrated technology solution Integrated technology, including CCTV with motion sensors, body-worn cameras, AI sensing and radio with duress functionality enhance monitoring and communication between the safety remote operation center (sROC) and on-site security, improving incident response.
Close
Challenge
Manage environmental impact and regulatory compliance Complex task of managing diverse environmental impacts, navigating complex regulations, overcoming technological limitations and operating in harsh environments.
OUTCOME
Speed up the decision-making process The video management system (VMS) enables the response team to effortlessly oversee surveillance and video recordings from multiple sources. This user-friendly interface also initiates alerts for critical situations.
Solution
Monitor conditions and detect critical events Smart monitoring allows for the analysis and surveillance of environmental issues, like air quality, flare and tailings. Moreover, with cameras and sensors integrated with advanced video analytics, the response team can promptly detect critical events.
