Cat Detect for Underground

Cat Detect for Underground

Overview

How much safer would your operation be if you had visibility to all workers underground? If you could alert operators to potential hazards before they become threats? If you could identify fatigued operators? With Cat® MineStar™ Detect for underground, you can. Detect for underground addresses risks to people and assets by letting you “see” in the dark. Using a high-precision peer-to-peer proximity detection system coupled with a revolutionary communications network, Detect can prevent incidents and track people and machines — wherever they are underground — in real time. Detect provides situational awareness to operators, alerting them to hazards before they become a threat with no reliance on mine infrastructure.

Benefits & Features

Situational Awareness

          
    • Provides operators continuous awareness of their surroundings to sub-meter accuracy.
    •     
    • Alerts operators to hazards before they become a threat with no reliance on mine infrastructure.
    •     
    • Allows operators to visualize all machines and personnel within a configurable radius. 
    •     
    • Alerts operators and personnel when machines or objects come into close proximity to mitigate risk of collision.

Site Tracking and Visualization

          
    • Provides site controllers a view of all miners and the locations of light and heavy vehicles via a Wi-Fi device.
    •     
    • Enables simple visualization of underground personnel in real time, providing controllers a zonal view as well as a high-precision perspective of proximity detection.
    •     
    • Uses high-precision proximity detection to keep machine operators and on-foot personnel aware of each other and their positioning in real time.

Product Features

          
    • Delivers audio, visual and vibration alerts to personnel when proximity limits are breached.
    •     
    • Uses high-bandwidth and low latency technology with peer-to-peer communication independent of network connectivity.
    •     
    • Features intuitive installation with user-friendly configuration and maintenance.
    •     
    • Scalable solution from on-board detection to full site equipment and personnel tracking.
    •     
    • Available on all machinery regardless of the OEM. 
    •     
    • In line with ISO21815-1 general requirements for Proximity Detection Systems

Fatigue and Distraction Monitoring

          
    • Uses a non-intrusive, in-cab fatigue detection technology called the Driver Safety System to instantly alert operators the moment fatigue or distraction are identified.
    •     
    • Monitors eye-closure duration and head pose.
    •     
    • Immediately alerts operators of events through configurable in-vehicle seat vibration and/or audio alarm.
    •     
    • Includes option to send events to a 24/7 monitoring center to classify, validate and confirm with site.
