More than 220 mine vehicles were equipped with Hexagon Mining’s MineProtect Collision Avoidance System (CAS) at Gold Fields’ Tarkwa mine in Ghana’s western region, the supplier reported.
MineProtect’s Operator Alertness System, Personal Alert and Tracking Radar were installed with minimal delays, despite pandemic lockdowns. Local partners and technology, such as remote body cameras, helped the installation and training stay on schedule, Hexagon reported.
Willingness to embrace change was key to the successful installation, Hexagon reported. “The resourcefulness displayed by everyone involved was impressive,” said Andrew Crose, vice president, autonomous, Hexagon’s Mining division. “It ensured that we completed the project with minimal delays.”
