Mine Blast Safety
Integrating systems for collision avoidance and radar-based slope stability hazards.
Forewarn operators of unstable slopes and no-go zones
Hexagon's technology identifies areas hazardous for people and machinery via real-time equipment visualisation and alerts.
Integrating slope stability monitoring with mine operations
Slope failure is among the main causes of casualties in mines. Hexagon integration helps protect those most at risk.
Hexagon’s integration of safety systems with radar-based slope stability hazards means workers are protected from injury-threatening events by being forewarned of no-go-zones. No-go zones are identified in software, which creates geofenced zones and hazard maps, and is correlated with radar alarms.
Overview
Protect and prevent
Keeping everyone and everything safe from potential catastrophic slope stability failure is a major preoccupation for safety supervisors.
Safety, sustainability and efficiency can suffer at any mine where the data from planning, operations, safety and business analytics is siloed.
Hexagon's technology allows you to share these important data sources in one platform. It means mines can now receive real-time equipment visualisation with timely alerts about hazardous areas for people and machinery.
Workers and equipment are protected from injury-threatening events by being forewarned of no-go-zones.
No-go zones are identified by software, which creates geofenced zones and hazard maps, and is correlated with radar alarms. These alarms are automatically triggered when a no-go zone is approached.
The additional layer of information created by this integration means better risk evaluation and is one more way to ensure everyone gets home safely.

We’re climbing the automation curve
Our transition to Intelligent automation is accelerating. Ultimately, our innovations will give rise to new technologies and applications - many of which we’ve yet to imagine. Today, every Hexagon solution is mapped and tagged according to its level of automation, so customers can clearly track our progress towards the freedom of autonomy.
Human-driven
All tasks completed by human labour; no data is leveraged across the operation.
Human-assisted
Labour is primarily conducted by a human workforce. Some functions have been automated to simplify control.
Partial automation
Some tasks are automated for short periods of time, accompanied by occasional human intervention.
Conditional automation
Human workforce is used for intervention as autonomous operations begin to increase productivity.
Highly autonomous
Autonomous systems complete required tasks within specific bounds, unleashing data and building smart digital realities.
Full autonomy
A smart digital reality™ enables autonomous systems to complete all tasks without human intervention.
Our sustainability influence
Our solutions create meaningful improvements in quality, efficiency, productivity, and safety – the antidotes to the status quo of waste, pollution, diminishing margins, and increased risk. Explore the highlighted products helping industry address environmental challenges in land, air and water.
