BLASTING ROBOTS
Monitoring platform introduced
Hexagon’s Geosystems division has launched HxGN GeoMonitoring Hub, an integrated visualisation and analysis platform bringing all sensor technology together in one holistic view of a mining environment. The new platform uses advanced
software to show highly accurate information, accelerating decision making and improving safety. The hub
Brokk has launched the Brokk 70 demoliton machine. Armed with SmartPower, the company’s intelligent power management system, the smallest electric robot in the range offers 100% more power than its predecessor, the Brokk 60 II, yet retains the same compact dimensions with only a 60kg weight increase. With the new BHB 105 breaker, the Brokk 70 brings safe, efficient demolition to the most confined spaces and is ideal for a variety of applications.
combines total station, GNSS, radar and other monitoring sensor data from a mining project into one simple- to-understand view. It fully integrates the IDS GeoRadar
Guardian and Leica GeoMoS Monitor systems. This provides a comprehensive view of all information aggregated by different sensors without manual importation or manipulation of data.
Partnership to improve productivity
Nanotron Technologies has agreed to work with mining technology specialist Meglab to improve safety and productivity in mines. Meglab is incorporating Nanotron’s innovative location- awareness technology as a key component of its Imagine platform, an intelligent,
modular mine management system. Imagine is a web platform that
provides real-time visibility of the underground mine environment. Nanotron’s swarm bee modules are enhancing Imagine’s functionality

by enabling users to efficiently track the location and status of mining equipment and workers, as well as any dangerous proximity to other vehicles or machines. By monitoring the location of workers, vehicles and machines in real time throughout the mine, Imagine facilitates smart
ventilation automation, face reports, lamp assignment, mine evacuation support, call for assistance and collision awareness. The result is a safer, better manageable and more effective work environment.
NEW COMPOSITE BEARINGS
Polygon has launched a new line of PolyLube high-performance custom-engineered and standard composite plain bearings (bushings), ideal for challenging applications in mining equipment such as wheel loaders, excavators, back hoes and compact track loaders. Featuring high load- bearing capacity, low frictional values, and corrosion resistance, the Polygon bearings are self- lubricated, requiring no greasing. This reduces maintenance labour costs and increases the interval before maintenance is required on rental equipment. It can also lower the number of greasing locations, ultimately resulting in fewer warranty claims.
