INDUSTRY NEWS
NEW 5G POWERED RESEARCH PROJECT
Industrial 5G is unlocking efficiency in mining for improved productivity, safety, environmental sustainability and global competitiveness. These impacts will be realised through the introduction of next generation mining technology, including autonomous connected machinery, digital automation and advanced analytics for real-time situational awareness and control. Next Generation Mining
(NGMining ), is a new project that is being funded by Business Finland and is bringing together industrial 5G private networks, edge computing and AI technologies based solutions to enable digital transformation in mining.
Collaboration produces new IoT solutions
Trimble has announced the addition of a geotechnical portfolio to its geospatial automated monitoring portfolio through a collaboration with Worldsensing, a wireless connectivity technology provider and manufacturer of geotechnical IoT monitoring systems. The collaboration enables survey, geotechnical and structural engineers to seamlessly expand their monitoring business opportunities with a comprehensive solution that incorporates geotechnical and geospatial data. Data from a variety of geotechnical and geospatial sensors – from tiltmeters, piezometers and crack gauges to GNSS receivers and total stations – combined with wireless communication and robust software
create powerful monitoring solutions. This provides unparalleled movement analysis to monitor transportation infrastructure, buildings, structures, dams, mines as well as landslides and natural hazards. The Trimble-branded
geotechnical product line, powered by Worldsensing, provides a fully automated wireless monitoring solution that helps minimise field visits and increases safety by reducing the need for user’s to obtain manual readouts.
MoU to help move mines to net zero
ABB has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with MedaTech to jointly explore solutions to decarbonise mining operations through charging solutions and optimised electric drive systems in battery electric vehicles (BEVs) for heavy-duty applications. The two companies will share expertise and collaborate in bringing solutions to
market that will reduce the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions associated with heavy machinery in mining. Mining customers require solutions specifically designed for heavy industries to enable the electrification of their fleets and facilitate the transition to net zero emission transport across mining operations. Electric vehicles and matching charging infrastructure solutions must meet demanding requirements, including high power, automated and safe operation, ruggedised designs fit for harsh environmental conditions and approved standards.

ROKBAK REVEALED
Rokbak is the new name for Terex Trucks, with the new brand representing the continuation of its strong hauling heritage with a future-focused vision. “Our company has an incredible
history and a proud heritage,” said Paul Douglas, MD. “Seven years ago, we became a member of the Volvo Group, which allowed us to make major improvements in every part of our business. Millions of pounds have been invested in improving our products, modernising our facilities, expanding our network, and developing our people. It has been a process of continual evolution. That’s why we feel it’s right to recognise this evolution with a new brand name to launch an exciting new chapter in our history. And we’ll keep investing to further improve our machines..”
