Epiroc, following its acquisition of Mernok Elektronik (Pty) Ltd in December 2022, has launched the fourth technology of the Titan Collision Avoidance System (CAS), it says bringing important developments to boost security and operational effectivity in mining environments. The most recent iteration, Titan CAS Era 4, builds upon the success of its predecessors by incorporating a number of key enhancements tailor-made to satisfy the evolving wants of the mining trade.
“The Era 4 Titan CAS is a complicated system that raises the bar for security and effectivity. It has been designed to satisfy the newest trade necessities and incorporates state-of-the-art know-how to make sure optimum efficiency. By harnessing the newest developments, we’ve engineered a system that surpasses necessities whereas providing unmatched value effectivity. On the coronary heart of our dedication to security is the Era 4 Titan CAS, which delivers top-tier security options to the mining sector,” says Eric Baker, World Product Supervisor.
Cited purposeful enhancements embody an advisory zone addition which introduces an efficient advisory zone (Degree 8) previous the intervention zone (Degree 9), enabling operators to react promptly to decelerate and cease recommendation. It additionally has logging redundancy – each the HMI100 show and the Gateway management models now log operational occasion knowledge, guaranteeing dependable backup info.
It makes use of devoted RF channels allotted for vehicle-to-vehicle (VTV) and vehicle-to-pedestrian (VTP) detection, enhancing detection capabilities. Elevated sensor knowledge bandwidth from enhanced low-frequency sensors with elevated knowledge bandwidth offers improved responsiveness and the next gadget detection rely. Lastly, time-of-flight for vehicle-to-person detection enhances security by exactly figuring out pedestrians, additional decreasing the danger of accidents.
Epiroc says Titan CAS “combines low-frequency, time-of-flight, and sub-GHz RF applied sciences for superior vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-pedestrian detection. With further applied sciences comparable to AI imaginative and prescient and GNSS, the system ensures unparalleled efficiency, reliability, and scalability.”
“We’ve been growing and bettering our system for greater than ten years and consider steady updates are crucial to make sure that we stay on the forefront of know-how thereby providing our prospects the very best options attainable. Titan CAS technology 4 is not any completely different, with security, modularity and reliability on the core of this vary, we hope to proceed saving lives and assist a zero hurt work atmosphere for our prospects,” says Schalk Janse van Rensburg, Basic Supervisor for Mernok Elektronik.
The modularity of the system permits for adaptable know-how implementation as on-site wants evolve, guaranteeing sustained security and effectivity enhancements. Moreover, Epiroc says the system gives seamless integration and person expertise enhancements.
