Boomer Remote Observation

May 11, 2021
Enables the operator to monitor the drill rig remotely and supervise drilling during shift changes. When ABC Total is used during shift changes, the supervisor is able to remotely stop the drilling process in case of emergency.
 
Remote observation of the drill rig
 
Epiroc's Rig Control System RCS 5, together with ABC Total, utilizes the Boomer face drill rig to drill in automated mode according to the digital drill plan. With RRA (Rig Remote Access) and the Boomer Remote Observation option, the operator can supervise the drilling remotely, for example during shift changes or breaks. This increases productivity since the drilling can continue without stops. Safety is also increased since the operator can stop the drilling if needed, in case of an emergency.
