Mine automation
Sandvik Mining’s automation solutions improve staff working conditions and safety. The systems also increase production output, as a fleet can be used for longer, with lower maintenance costs because of higher tramming speeds.
Sandvik’s AutoMine® Product Family is a comprehensive offering, which includes single equipment automation, fleet automation, process management, including manual production, and equipment monitoring.
The innovative automation systems reduce the number of operators required and increase the number of machines they can monitor.
Whether using single equipment or fleet automation, Sandvik’s AutoMine allows operators to sit in a safe, air-conditioned control room on the mine surface and monitor the movements of driverless loaders or trucks that are hundreds of metres underground. It can also be used for controlling drill rigs on the surface.
Supervisors in the control room can communicate with colleagues, monitor processes and control both surface and underground operations.
Rock tools and systems
Sandvik Mining’s hard-materials technology is renowned for its quality, performance and value. The company’s equipment raises productivity by enabling operations to economically excavate even extremely hard rocks and materials.
Sandvik Mining has the world’s widest range of tools and systems including:
- Cutting
