Becker Mining South Africa’s exhibit at the recent SAIMM ‘Proximity Detection and Collision Avoidance Systems in Mining Colloquium 2017” conference in South Africa recently, attracted interest from key players in the mining sector.
Becker Mining South Africa - a key supplier of safety and communications technologies to the mining sector - has developed and advanced proximity detection systems (PDS) and collision avoidance systems (CAS) for nearly 20 years,” says Andrew Trentelman, Becker Mining South Africa. “The company’s patented tri-technology point of detection system, which delivers unrivalled protection and scalability in proximity systems, conforms to stringent South African legislation regarding interactions between personnel and TMMs for the hard rock and coal mining industry.
“This is the only underground system available globally which combines these three technologies - UHF, radar and electromagnetic - into one scalable system.”
Becker’s modular CAS solutions encompass all aspects of the most advanced mining communications and technology. A key advantage, is the Becker MineView software visualisation package allows for mine-wide integration with all SCADA-related systems, as well as real-time location and resource management systems provided by the Becker Group.
This conference, which was organised by the Southern African Institute of Mining and Metallurgy (SAIMM) involved company exhibits, as well as a series of presentations and discussion sessions on the development and implementation of PDS and CAS for underground and surface mobile machinery.
