Proactive prevention is the
future of mining
Across mine sites, mining truck tyre repair and maintenance activities are becoming increasingly excessive. In fact, most haul truck tyres fail at just 40% – 60% of their expected life.
Rock cuts are a leading cause of premature tyre failure and create major safety concerns given how easily damage to mining truck tyres can result in tyre bursts and explosions. The high degree of tyre failure experienced in mining not only poses serious safety concerns and significant operational costs, but they can also put a dent in miners environmental objectives by doubling the number of tyres going to landfill every year.
As it becomes increasingly difficult for mine sites to remain profitable, compliant, and socially and environmentally responsible, preventing these costly events is non-negotiable.
Reduce mining truck tyre failure
events with RockAware™
RockAware™ is a revolutionary solution that combines LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) and camera technology to scan truck routes and alert operators to any damaging rocks in their path.
At the same time, the technology captures, models, and analyses the real-time data before it is sent to the RockAware™ cloud platform. The platforms dashboard interface allows for filtering and heatmapping of detected hazards and can be integrated seamlessly with FMS systems for automatic dispatching of clean-up crews.
The first customisable, preventative solution of its kind, RockAware™ is enabling innovative miners to utilise technology to drive safety, productivity and profitability across their mine sites.
- Improve productivity by reducing truck downtime
- Enable proactive and preventative action
- Reduce mining truck tyre maintenance costs
Enhance mine site safety
Continuously scan routes
Truck mounted, AI technology scans and identifies potential hazards.
Notify drivers and crews
The integrated system alerts drivers and notifies clean up crews in near real time.
Proactively remove obstacles
Avoid mining truck tyre damage completely by removing hazards before trucks hit them.
Understand root causes
Miners can review incidents and use data saved in the cloud platform to train and coach haul truck operators on how to best avoid potential hazards.
Integrate with other technology
RockAware™ can integrate with other technologies to better understand tyre failures and maximise truck productivity.
