Key Solutions & Technologies

Wabtec Digital Mine offers a comprehensive portfolio of solutions designed to improve safety, productivity and operational visibility across both surface and underground mining operations.

Generation 3 Collision Avoidance System (CAS)

The Generation 3 CAS is a market-leading solution that delivers real-time detection of vehicles, equipment and potential hazards. Designed for high-risk mining environments, the system provides accurate proximity detection and clear, voice-based alerts, enabling operators to respond immediately to potential dangers.

Built on a combination of advanced sensing and communication technologies, CAS performs reliably in challenging conditions, including low visibility and high-density traffic environments. The system also incorporates health monitoring capabilities, allowing proactive maintenance and ensuring continuous protection.

With over 20 000 units deployed globally, Wabtec’s CAS has a proven track record of reliability and effectiveness. Importantly, the system has recorded zero reported fatalities across its installed base, reinforcing its role as a critical safety solution in modern mining operations.

Digital Platform & Software

The Wabtec Digital Platform serves as the central intelligence layer, converting operational data into actionable insights through a user-friendly, web-based portal. It provides comprehensive visibility into asset performance, fleet health and vehicle interactions across the mining operation.

Core capabilities include real-time asset tracking, fleet monitoring and detailed interaction analysis. These insights enable operators to identify inefficiencies, detect emerging risks and optimise workflows. Intuitive reporting tools ensure that decision-makers at all levels can quickly access and interpret relevant data.

The platform also supports predictive analytics, helping organisations shift from reactive to proactive operations. By anticipating issues and enabling data-driven decision-making, customers can reduce downtime, improve productivity and enhance overall operational performance. Its ability to integrate with existing systems further strengthens its value within broader digital transformation initiatives.

AI Smart Cameras

AI smart cameras form a critical component of Wabtec Digital Mine’s advanced safety ecosystem. These intelligent systems enhance situational awareness by analysing real-time video data to identify risks and unsafe conditions.

Using machine learning, the cameras can detect operator fatigue, distraction and unsafe behaviours, helping to reduce human-factor-related incidents. Additional capabilities such as edge and void detection provide critical alerts in hazardous terrain conditions, while object recognition enables accurate identification of vehicles, personnel and obstacles.

By processing data at the edge, these systems enable rapid response and reduce reliance on manual monitoring. The technology is highly scalable across fleets and sites, delivering strong returns through improved safety performance and reduced operational risk.

Underground Drill Guidance Solution (DGS)

The underground DGS is a proven technology with more than 30 years of application in underground coal mining. It delivers advanced measure-while-drilling capabilities, providing real-time data to guide accurate and efficient drilling operations.

DGS enables operators to maintain optimal drill alignment and respond to changing geological conditions, reducing errors and improving productivity. This level of control is essential in underground environments, where precision and safety are critical.

Beyond improving drilling accuracy, the solution reduces the risk of hazardous deviations and supports more efficient resource extraction. It contributes to safer operations while minimising waste and operational disruptions.

Enabling Data-Driven Mining

Wabtec Digital Mine’s solutions are underpinned by advanced data capabilities. By combining machine learning, automation, analytics and remote monitoring, the company enables mining organisations to transition to data-driven operations.

This integrated approach supports better forecasting, improved resource allocation and continuous optimisation. From predictive maintenance to real-time risk management, Wabtec’s technologies provide the insights needed to unlock measurable value across the mining value chain.

Local Distribution Partner
