How to kill your colleagues and get away with it or, Why safety systems are important

Tuesday May 28, 2024 13:40 - 14:00 Conference hall

Exhibitor: Boliden Mineral AB

Speaker: Peter Burman

Most automation projects within the mining industry aim to improve productivity and safety. What has become clear in recent years is that the safety systems currently implemented on most mining machines do not allow us to use the machines optimally. The robot cells or automation zones that are created often only work on the periphery of the mine, as soon as a robot cell is created in the central ramp system, logistical bottlenecks are created that reduce productivity. The question then becomes how to create new safety systems that also allow high productivity? Boliden has therefore on its own initiative gathered a group of companies that are now working on a solution that will make it possible to create dynamic geofences for everything and everyone in the mine.
