As automation levels increase, all processes and machines become coordinated and aware of each other. The advantage of the pathway approach to International Mining | MAY 2017 Left: The example pathway to autonomy layout above starts with Mobius and moves directly into haulage driver assist functionality, including modules such as: Spot Assist, Fatigue Monitoring, Collision Warning, and Collision Avoidance. This operation then upgrades to fully autonomous haulage before moving into drill and blasting automation Right:The example pathway to autonomy layout above starts with Mobius and moves directly into autonomous drilling and then into blasting. This operation then skips any driver assist modules and jumps into fully autonomous haulage and support vehicles implementation is that even on large mines, there is no 100% rollout solution or one size fits all option. The ability to tailor a pathway using a platform that can cope with many types of automated operations, is a significant step for the industry. For example, even large mining groups have a difficult time replicating autonomy across multiple sites as the needs, conditions, and skills differ at the different sites. “By having smaller modules and tools available, there is the opportunity to customise and configure an approach to each of the sites. Some of the sites may be in a better position to graduate to full autonomy sooner; while others may start small – whatever works best for them and whatever is most productive for them.” And beyond the Tier One miners, most sites don’t necessarily have the bandwidth initially to make big steps towards autonomy. Here, an integrated approach and simple steps makes it accessible to them. Finally, another advantage of the Mobius platform is that STAGE 1 Mobius Core & Production Mager STAGE 2 Autonomous Drilling STAGE 3 Autonomous Blasting STAGE 4 Autonomous Haulage STAGE 5 Autonomous Support Vehicles STAGE 6 Fully Autonomous Mine Site it avoids the need to interact with multiple user interfaces for solutions such as load monitoring, fatigue awareness, collision awareness etc. Each thing the customer does can easily fit into the Mobius architecture.IM
