“Our company, 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. “The 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 the three technologies of 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, which allows for mine-wide integration with all scada related systems, as well as real-time location and resource management provided by the Group.
This conference, 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.
