Digital solutions
Proximity detection and collision avoidance
Scalable safety solutions for underground mining operations, enabling advanced proximity detection with real-time advisory and intervention controls to help prevent collision risks and enhance workforce safety.
Features
-
Worker safety
Scalable solutions designed to improve worforce safety through advanced real-time tracking technology. The solutions provide operators with enhanced awareness of hazards in blind spots and areas beyond the line-of-sight, such as around corners in mining environments.
-
Situational awareness
Enhance situational awareness with dynamic detection zones that adapt to critical vehicle data, such as speed, direction and gear, provided by the Newtrax Vehicle Device. By leveraging real-time vehicle data, the solutions effectively reduce nuisance alarms and provide comprehensive situational insights for operators, improving safety and operational efficiency.
-
Automated slow-to-stop control for equipment
Ensure uncompromised underground safety with the automated slow-to-stop functionality of Newtrax Collision Avoidance System (CAS). The system actively intervenes when a potential collision is detected, helping to prevent incidents before they occur. As equipment transitions from a standstill, dynamic zones are adjusted based on speed, direction and vehicle kinematics, enabling timely response and intervention.
Offering levels
Proximity Detection System (PDS)
Sandvik’s entry-level collision avoidance solution, designed to enhance safety in underground mining operations through real-time proximity alerts. By utilizing advanced tracking technology, PDS improves hazard awareness in blind spots and areas beyond the line-of-sight, including around corners, and effectively mitigates risks of injuries, fatalities, and collisions involving pedestrians and equipment.
Advanced Proximity Detection System (APDS)
Sandvik's second level collision avoidance solution builds on the capabilities of PDS by introducing dynamic detection zones and integration with vehicle data, supporting informed and confident decision-making in demanding underground environments. The system enhances situational awareness and helps to reduce nuisance alarms with dynamic detection zones that adapt to the critical operational data, such as direction, speed and gear, provided by the Newtrax Vehicle Device.
Collision Avoidance System (CAS)
Sandvik's third level collision avoidance solution provides uncompromised safety with an integrated automated slow-to-stop control technology that actively prevents collisions with pedestrians, light vehicles, and equipment in underground environments. With detection zones that adjust based on vehicle movement, CAS supports proactive safety interventions and contributes to uninterrupted, controlled operations.
