Our technology and automation program made big leaps this year with one Pit Viper running fully
autonomous since March in iron ore with 90% availability, 10% improved productivity, and 20%
improved bit life when compared to units operating with people on board.
CI THROUGH AUTOMATION SEGMENTS
Onboard Automation
Teleremote Automation
Under Development
Fully Autonomous
Data
- Desktop Viewer: remote troubleshooting/SA capability
- Surface/Underground Manager: Production reporting tools as well as
drill plan creation and logging
Control
- Auto Drill : pen rate performance (m/shift)
- Auto Level: reduced time to level at each hole (production time)
- HPGPS: holes located to plan (Hole accuracy & speed between
holes)
- Transition towards autonomous operation
- Remote Operation Center or office operation
opportunity to utilize wireless network prior to
autonomous operation
- 1 to many: Safety, QOL, efficiency
- Multiple machines, multiple work orders Equipment
interacts to achieve high level of efficiency
-Equipment executes according to plan with minimal
human interaction
- Increased productivity and utilization
- Continue to realize automation opportunities with goal
to improve overall utilization of multiple drills
To be successful, automated equipment cannot be considered special or unique within the mine operation
REMOTE OPERATIONS: CONTINUAL IMPROVEMENT

CLUTCH
Patent Pending Hydraulically Operated Automatic Wet Clutch
Automatically Disengages the Air Compressor from the Engine when the Air is shut off.
The Compressor typically consumes 30% of its rated power at Standby
Clutch removes parasitic Engine loads at Start-Up since the Compressor is not engaged,
therefore it decreases Engine Load and increases Engine Life
The Compressor Hour Meter only runs when the clutch is engaged this allows for the service
to be based on actual Compressor Hours used and not Engine Hours
