First in safety: safety first

The dangers faced by miners everyday demand more than point solutions. The next generation of HxGN MineProtect connects autonomous ecosystems with unparalleled integration of sensors and software to mitigate the risks posed by busy vehicle and pedestrian traffic, blind spots, distraction, fatigue and slope instability.

At the core of this integration is HxGN MineProtect Collision Avoidance System (CAS). It provides 360-degree operator awareness for surrounding vehicles and equipment, as well as a technology-leading collision avoidance function based on path prediction.

Via a non-intrusive cabin display unit, CAS protects all mining vehicles, assets, and vehicle operators within 500 meters. CAS fits well on your digital roadmap because analytics capabilities ensure full access and interpretation of data for continuous safety improvements.

Built on reliable hardware proven in all mining environments, CAS helps minimize near-misses, reduce speeding events and continuous 360-degree visibility. An optional add-on is tracking radar, which characterizes a potential threat’s position and motion, providing the information needed by drivers and supervisors.

Most importantly, everyone gets home safely.

Traffic awareness and collision avoidance

CAS provides vehicle operators with 360-degree operator awareness when traveling at any speed and in all conditions, via non-intrusive cabin display units. A GNSS unit calculates the vehicle’s speed and path of movement, improving vision and heightening situational awareness.

See and be seen with real-time traffic alerts

Positional information of each vehicle fitted with the system enables real-time traffic alerts. Operators see other vehicles’ locations and where vehicles are heading. The system’s in-built safety zone feature predicts potential collisions in advance and alerts drivers.

Easy to install and quick to configure

Standard system hardware consists of a display, the main unit, a combined antenna that contains the GNSS, real-time radio antennas, and Wi-Fi for real-time tracking and reporting. It’s easy to install, quick to configure and cost-effective.

Improving mine safety

Safety’s too important for partial solutions. Learn how Hexagon helped Minera San Cristóbal S.A. deploy HxGN MineOperate OP Pro & HxGN MineProtect CAS & OAS in Bolivia to address risks, minimize nuisance alarms and get everyone home safely.
