Longwall operations are one of the most challenging areas of underground mining - and equipment installed on Shearers, AFCs, Roof Supports and BSLs has to withstand the same punishing conditions that these behemoths endure. Complexity [...]
Remote monitoring of borehole spraying at a major coal mine in the Bowen Basin in QLD was recently conducted using Nautitech® IS Lights and HD Cameras. In 2018, Nautitech® transformed a standard shaft liner into [...]
Congratulations to the QLD team for a successful installation of CUBEx IS Lights on a feeder breaker at a major coal mine. Nautitech® IS lights are suited to mobile and stationary applications and have been [...]
Nautitech® Thermal Cameras with ONVIF interface combined with the Spitfire® Broadband Powerline Modem (BPLM) make real-time thermal imaging from the face available to the surface. Originally developed to support visibility for drivers and operators, our [...]
Operational safety, particularly in underground mining, can only be achieved through clear visibility and effective communications between heavy equipment operators and those working around them. As with all large machines there is high incident risk [...]
CUBEx IS Lights installed on the roof support canopy can light up the Longwall face and AFC area. Plus, a triggered lighting system can create a soft barrier for increased safety in NO-GO zones [...]
In an industry where protection of both human and machine assets is essential, the high-risk nature of underground mining requires that Ex d and Ex i properties of all electrical equipment are compliant with the [...]
As Technology Showcase sponsor of the 2019 Longwall Conference, Nautitech® presented the best connectivity options for environmental survival underground. General Manager, Mac Powolny, discussed the use of the Spitfire® range of communications products to [...]
In keeping with our goal of staying current with industry developments, Nautitech®’s Managing Director, Aga Blana, recently attended the Industry 4.0 Advanced Manufacturing Forum (I4AMF) in Melbourne. What exactly is Industry 4.0? It has [...]
Intrinsic safety is one of the most effective protection techniques for equipment operating in hazardous areas. It works by removing, rather than containing, the factors that could cause an explosive mixture to ignite. The IS [...]
