Mining technology: Innovation Underground
Ice cooling for high-temperature conditions: Underground mines face high heat and humidity. Ice-based cooling systems lower ambient temperatures, improving worker safety and reducing energy use.
Autonomous mining vehicles: Driverless loaders and trucks, guided by GPS, LiDAR, radar, and AI, are transforming underground mining. These autonomous systems already work in many mines around the globe, safely navigating complex tunnel networks and boosting productivity.
Battery-electric equipment (BEVs): Replacing diesel with electric-powered machines improves air quality and lowers emissions. Powered by advanced battery systems, these machines feature fast charging or battery swapping for efficient operations, as well as robust cooling mechanisms to withstand tough underground conditions.
