Digital solutions
Proximity detection and collision avoidance
Scalable underground mining safety solutions enabling Advanced Proximity Detection (PDS) with advisory and intervention controls.
Features
-
Worker Safety
The solution improves worforce safety by utilizing advanced real- time tracking technology, providing awareness of hazards in blind spots and areas beyond the line of sight, such as around corners in mining environments.
-
Situational Awareness
Solutions that enhance situational awareness by significantly delivering critical data - including direction, speed, gear, slope, and payload—to the Newtrax Vehicle Device. This data enables dynamic adjustment of detection zones, effectively reducing nuisance alarms while providing comprehensive situational insights for both pedestrian and vehicle.
-
Automated slow-to-stop control for equipment
Third level of Sandvik's collision avoidance solution with an integrated automated slow-to-stop control feature, which enhances safety by ensuring automatic timely deceleration and braking to prevent potential collisions and damage to pedestrians, light vehicle, and equipment in mining environments. As the equipment transitions from a standstill, zones are adjusted based on speed, direction and vehicle kinematics to eliminate risks.
Offering Levels
Proximity Detection System (PDS)
Sandvik's entry-level collision avoidance solution designed to enhance safety in underground mining operations. This scalable system effectively mitigates risks of injuries, fatalities, and collisions involving pedestrians. By utilizing advanced real-time tracking technology, the system offers improved hazard awareness in blind spots and areas beyond the line-of-sight, including around corners, thereby significantly improving pedestrian or personnel safety awareness.
Advanced Proximity Detection System (APDS)
Sandvik's second level collision avoidance solution designed to mitigate the risks of injuries, fatalities, and collisions involving pedestrians, light vehicles, and heavy equipment in underground environments. It enhances situational awareness by significantly delivering critical data - including direction, speed, gear, slope, and payload—to the Newtrax Vehicle Device. This data enables dynamic adjustment of detection zones, effectively reducing nuisance alarms while providing comprehensive situational insights.
Collision Avoidance System (CAS)
Third level of Sandvik's collision avoidance solution with an integrated automated slow-to-stop control technology feature, which enhances safety by ensuring automatic timely deceleration and braking to prevent potential collisions and damage to pedestrians, light vehicle, and equipment in mining environments.
