Glencore-owned copper mine Lomas Bayas says it has develop into the primary mining firm in Chile to work with Hexagon’s Good Heart, a complete clever monitoring platform designed to optimise security and operational effectivity on the mine web site. This initiative, which enhances the Hexagon Collision Avoidance System (CAS), strengthens preventive administration by reworking information into concrete actions to enhance highway security and procedural compliance.
The Good Heart group develops complete evaluation starting from security diagnostics with fast wins to vibration-based highway high quality monitoring, offering a 360° view of mining operations. The evaluation of this data generates alerts that enable for proactive prevention of dangers or inappropriate behaviours, decreasing the chance of incidents.
Marcelo Navarrete Fernandez, Built-in Mine Administration Superintendent at Lomas Bayas, emphasised: “The Good Heart method permits us to establish and mitigate dangers earlier than they develop into incidents, offering key data for decision-making and optimising mine processes. We can have actual proof of all potential hazards and driving deviations, addressing them as alternatives for enchancment and strengthening our security tradition.”
Gabriel Cerezo Orellana, Built-in Administration and Analytics Engineer on the mining firm and liable for undertaking implementation, defined: “The platform permits us to watch adherence to procedures, making certain that every operation is carried out with self-discipline, from respecting cease indicators to correct visitors move on routes and in loading areas. This not solely improves compliance but in addition will increase effectivity and productiveness.”
Maximiliano Montenegro, Contract Supervisor at Hexagon, added: “With the Good Heart, the method will be capable of acquire extra exact evaluation in high-risk areas, with the purpose of alerting these areas and rising reliability, effectivity, and operational self-discipline.”
The primary section of the Good Heart implementation will final three months and can prioritise six key options, straight targeted on the protection of all these coming into the mine space. These are security diagnostics with fast wins; discount of tailgating alerts; cease signal violations; operators participating in dangerous behaviour; discount of collision alerts; and discount of dashing alerts.
Since April, 100% of Lomas Bayas’ cellular gear has been geared up with CAS (226 kits put in on mining gear, upkeep gear, vans, and buses), making it a compulsory crucial management for coming into the mine.
