A Risk Assessment is vital in mining to identify and
California, 19th Sept 2024 — GroundHog is excited to announce
AHS enhances safety by using obstacle detection and avoidance systems. Autonomous trucks are programmed to maintain safe speeds, distances, and lane positions. They operate without the risks of driver fatigue or distraction, and with advanced sensors, they can react quickly to sudden changes in road and traffic conditions. According to the World Economic Forum, automation and robotics in mining could prevent up to 10,000 injuries.
AHS optimizes routes using advanced mapping systems and allows for 24/7 transport without the need for breaks or shift changes. By using GNSS technology and geofencing, AHS tracks assets in real-time, ensuring precise movements and avoiding downtime. This constant operation increases productivity and improves cost and profit margins in mining operations.
AHS reduces labor costs, especially in areas with high labor expenses or challenging terrain. With its systematic operation, maintenance is minimized, extending the lifespan of components. Additionally, AHS helps reduce fuel consumption, greenhouse gas emissions, and overall energy usage, making it a cost-effective solution for mining companies.
AHS promotes sustainability by optimizing fuel consumption and operating at non-peak times, reducing traffic congestion and air pollution. Many AHS vehicles use hybrid or fully electric power. Additionally, IoT and AI technologies are used for predictive maintenance, which reduces breakdowns and enhances the overall sustainability of the mining operation.
Yes, AHS is equipped with advanced sensors and control systems that allow it to adapt quickly to changes in road or weather conditions. This ensures that the trucks can continue operating safely, even in unpredictable environments, minimizing downtime and operational disruptions.
AHS uses GNSS technology to track assets with pinpoint accuracy. It also incorporates geofencing to control the movement of vehicles within designated areas, ensuring that all equipment operates in the right place at the right time, further increasing operational efficiency.
While there is an initial investment required to implement AHS, the long-term cost savings—such as reduced labor, lower fuel costs, and extended equipment lifespan—make it a highly cost-effective solution for mining operations in the long run. Additionally, the increased productivity and sustainability benefits offer a strong return on investment
