Automation, remote control, voice solutions and condition monitoring in mines
Mines are demanding environments where the network must operate reliably in tunnels, deep underground and across large areas. Public networks do not meet these needs, and Wi-Fi coverage often falls short. Traditionally, mines have used radio telephone-type solutions for communication and fixed fibre networks supplemented with Wi-Fi access points for data transmission. With private networks, mines can be equipped with a reliable and high-performance wireless connection that enables operations to be developed further.
Wireless private 5G network can still handle voice connections conveniently with push-to-talk devices. In addition, the data connections of private networks enable, for example, reliable transfers of larger amounts of data required by remote-controlled or autonomous drill devices and dumpers. Large volumes of video images can also be easily transferred from one location to another. In addition, private networks enable the collection of data on various conditions, such as wall strength or vibration data, and material flows, with private networks also used to cover the operation of ventilation and pumping stations.
Digita’s private 5G network has been developed specifically for these conditions.
For mines, it provides, among other things:
- Scalable infrastructure that evolves with the mine’s needs and technological development
- A low-latency and stable connection for remotely controlled machines and autonomous devices
- Real-time positioning and production monitoring that improve occupational safety
- Decision-making supported by data, analytics and artificial intelligence, relying on fast and capacity-secure data transmission
- A secure and controlled solution that can be completely separate from the public network
