COMMUNICATIONS & CONNECTIVITY ENABLING MINING’S DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION

Jason Cox, Sales Engineering Manager Tait Communications

The Customer’s Situation…

• Increased operational footprint with 1,000s of on-site staff
• Alerting Staff & Public during blasting activities
• Alerting Staff to Dangerous Weather events
• Monitoring Equipment and Environment
• Manual updating of Signage
• Multiple technologies to support
• Maintaining Communications for Critical staff when off-site

ENABLING MINING’S DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION

The Tait Solution…

• 5 Site Digital Mobile Radio network
• Over 1,000 subscriber terminals
• 23 Talk Groups
• Over 1,200 calls per hour
• Customised alert tones

ENABLING MINING’S DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION

ENABLING MINING’S DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION

The Tait Solution… Safety Alerting System

• Blast and Emergency Tones don’t transport well over digital radio
• Using AppBuilder, a status message is sent to mobile and portable

radios to trigger playing alert tones

• Tones can play out continuously, or

AppBuilder re-sends at programmable intervals

• Tones pause while voice calls in progress
• Simple web page to activate or stop tones

allows remote access from any connected PC

• Outdoor mounted radios provide audible

to workers and public without radios

The Tait Solution – Remote Message Boards

• Customer had multiple message boards that needed to be updated several

times a week with blasting information.

• Needed to remotely update all signs with different information

METS T ech Talk: Communications & Connectivity – Enabling Mining’s Digital Transformation

DIGITAL TERRAIN



Formed in early 2019, Digital Terrain is a "spin-up" not a start up.



A mature data model, an experienced team and a solution that services an existing large user base. We know the statistics around how to drill a hole.



Highly integrated. Single point of entry for key data which propagate throughout the rest of the system, eliminating double handling



We track the entire mining value chain of data. Our solutions are scaleable, and can handle any process without significant development work.

45

Contacts us: info@digitalterrain.io www.digitalterrain.io

DIGITAL TERRAIN

 End User focused data acquisition solutions

from personal apps to IoT devices to drones and LiDAR.

 Capture your complete value chain on an

interoperable platform

 Rapid digitisation, deployment and acceptance

• f new technologies into a customer’s
• rganisation to make better decisions and

improve bottom lines

46

THE DIGITAL MINE

 Many think the Mine of the

Future is not yet here … but it is,

 It is the Mine of Today  There are a lot of solutions out

there, you just need to know where to look

 You also need to be able to

integrate and connect these into your eco-system

47

A CONNECTED MINE IMPROVES PERFORMANCE

 An established eco-system

delivers immediate benefits

 By Connecting your mine or

your organisation, you have already realised almost 50%

• f the total benefits of

moving towards automation

Sector trends & your operation

How much value is lost by a 1% drop in recovery? How much value could be created by preventing a

• ne-hour breakdown?

Do your workforce know the answer to the above? Do you? How much cost could be saved by avoiding demurrage? What is your value chain bottleneck?

Mining

Designing Mining Operation Technology (OT) networks requires knowledge and expertise in the following:

• Mining, Safety, Process and Standards
• Industrial Control and Safety Systems
• Site Electrical and Communications
• Diverse IP Networking Technologies in OT Mining Environments
• Industrial IT/OT Cyber Security (Risk Assessments - Safety)
• IT Technologies (Networks, Security, Systems, Applications and Databases)

The challenges to Operating a Mining Operation Technology (OT) network include:

• Existing service management systems and technologies are not designed to
• perate in an OT environment
• As miners embrace more sophisticated autonomy solutions these gaps become

more pronounced and the impact more severe

• Blanket coverage, highly reliable industrial wireless networks for critical vehicle

autonomy solutions

Vernetzen Response:

• Build a diverse and unique team with cross Mine Ops/IT/Traditional Engineering skills with deep mining knowledge
• Develop a Network Visibility Fabric for the collection of site environment, devices and network management big data that provide real time

analysis of coverage, performance and capacity by location

• AI and ML to automate monitoring, perform predictive analysis and rapid incident root cause analysis in an active mining environment
