All mines recognize the need for a reliable, robust and low maintenance Collision Avoidance System to enhance safety and production. The Becker Mining Systems smartdetect system is designed to prevent injury and damage during the operation of mining vehicles in close proximity to other equipment.
This system provides an early warning indication that alerts the operator to the presence and number of smartdetect-enabled vehicles and transponders in the vicinity.
The controller gathers data and other information from the various onboard sensors to create a real-time map of the vehicle and other smartdetect-enabled vehicles. The controller can determine the projected course of other vehicles and provide awareness via the visual and audible cues if there is a risk of collision.
Equipped with various components, the controller serves as the brains of the operation. It centralizes the data from all peripheral devices with its embedded I/O interfaces, processes it and projects it onto a user-friendly graphical interface.
