Mine geolocation, control, safety and communication systems

Located in the heart of copper country in south-east Arizona, Flanders Electric’s mining systems business unit is charged with discovering ways to apply advanced technologies for the improvement of safety, maintenance and production at surface mines around the world.

• Geolocation: high-precision location service derived from passive systems already in existence; our systems are specifically designed not to require expensive local support systems such as signal repeaters and satellite enhancement
• Intelligent control: control systems up to and including full autonomy (not tele-remote); ARDVARC® control systems bring on-board intelligence to drilling systems
• Machine vision: Flanders’ Haz-Cam systems accurately and passively detect and identify hazards in the path of mobile equipment, becoming the ‘eyes’ of you systems
• Mine-duty RF systems: acknowledging challenges faced in establishing remote communications under adverse radio conditions, Flanders radio systems are designed to accommodate the data needs and budgets of mine operators

Electric motors for mining applications

Our capability to repair and manufacture specialty electric motors is unsurpassed. Custom motors for mining and other specialty applications are designed and manufactured in our Evansville facility, along with a multitude of motor components to support the repair side of the business.

Repairs provided by each service center are based on our proprietary insulation systems, engineered upgrades based on ‘real world’ experience, and ISO9001-certified processes. These combined services result in increased reliability and reduced cost of ownership for our customers.
