Sandvik introduces AutoMine Core
Sandvik Mining and Rock Solutions has introduced AutoMine Core, a comprehensive automation platform for mass mining applications to support customers ramping up from manual operation to a fully autonomous production.
Built on Sandvik’s AutoMine Fleet and Manual Production Monitoring (MPM) solutions, AutoMine Core provides users with multiple levels of interaction for Sandvik and third-party original equipment manufacturer (OEM) fleets.
It provides access to industry-leading solutions for data collection and analysis, underground connectivity and an advanced fleet of automated equipment options.
AutoMine Core also includes solutions for optimising mass mining, which integrate seamlessly with Sandvik products, providing insights to optimise operational safety and productivity.
Acting director of product line and customer projects automation Ty Osborne commented on the platform.
“AutoMine is used in more than 100 mines globally, including more than 20 mass mining applications,” he said.
“AutoMine Core combines advanced planning and scheduling capability with top-tier underground autonomy, integrating seamlessly into a mine’s digital ecosystem.
“This integration enables our customers to achieve end-to-end optimisation, resulting in increased productivity and added value.”
The AutoMine Core platform uses Sandvik’s AutoMine Fleet traffic management, which enables customers to easily control traffic flow of multi-machine operations and handle complex situations such as advanced deadlock control, passing bays, dynamic dispatch and dynamic speed scaling.
“We believe this platform will transform mass mining operations, helping maximise safety, productivity and sustainability,” Mr Osborne said.
