The clarity of video from a NAUTITECH® camera for underground mining on a loader recently revealed that the machine had driven into an implement, damaging the flameproof enclosure – a reportable incident. Our clients are constantly amazed at how sharp and clear the images from our ExTREMECAM hazardous area cameras are. (see video of the incident below).
ExTREMECAM Thermal and HD (High Definition) cameras by NAUTITECH® for underground mining add an important element for incident investigation and visual monitoring within the mine site. Built for hazardous environments and IP enabled to stream video to an alternate location, they can be used on mobile or stationary applications including Longwall, Development, mobile machines with proximity awareness systems, transfer points, loaders, graders, belt conveyors, and other heavy industrial use.
Combine the NAUTITECH® HD or Thermal camera for underground mining with the HawkEye Quad 7” Smart Display, CUBEx IS Lights and the Spitfire® BPLM for a full system that gives a comprehensive view of what’s happening in the mine.
Armed with an Intel Quad Core processor, the HawkEye Quad provides improved visibility, real-time connectivity, access to processing power and critical data storage. Features include:
– Large 7” thermal and HD video display
– Full screen single image or split screen dual images
– Up to 24 hours video recording and playback for incident investigation
The FIRST controllable, Intrinsically Safe (IS) light in Australia, has so many different applications in underground mining! This versatile and robust IS Light can be used as a floodlight, area light, driving light, emergency or hazard light, traffic (or mode) light, and as bank lighting for shafts and tunnels.
Just ONE externally mounted IS power supply can power up to 15 lights on any underground mining machine including continuous miners, shuttle cars and diesel vehicles. Illuminate the mine with an optimum amount of light for an HD camera to “see” what’s happening underground.
Spitfire® BPLM (Broadband Powerline Modem)
Stream real-time video from an HD or Thermal camera to another location or the surface using pilot or power cores from underground tethered vehicles.
The Spitfire® solution overcomes network challenges in underground mining, including restricted spaces, lack of GPS, explosive atmosphere, weak strata, and complex mining machinery.
