Detect
On the surface, operators in the cabs of large mining equipment often cannot see if another machine or vehicle is too close for safe operation. Detect helps alleviate this potential safety hazard and can also be configured to provide valuable information about site conditions and other assets working in the area. Underground, continuous equipment movement on a longwall face can pose risks to those in the working area.
