Integration
|
Integration also allows mine operations to clearly view machine operation and performance to ensure long-term sustainable machine production. RCT can collaborate with the customer to interface the technology into the existing digital network. We are able to interface Long-term Evolution (LTE), underground WiFi and mesh networks with fibre optics or Ethernet infrastructure for surface or central control – regardless if its controlled by a third party or the site itself.
RCT can roll out a full digital communications solution to meet the demands of autonomous machines to provide accurate feedback and information in real-time through the mines existing digital network.

In most circumstances there are no added costs for the deployment of this offer as the customer; however, it is the customers’ responsibility to ensure the network covers the working area in which the machine operates. The quality of coverage for reliable machine control is critical for this solution and if need be, the customer may be required to modify or update the network to accommodate autonomous machines.
With the underground mine landscape constantly evolving to become a high-efficient, low-cost operation; automation and information systems across the loading and hauling fleet will play a major role in delivering real improvements to bottom-line profit.
