Rugged Surveillance and In-Vehicle Computing for Mining
By Backplane SystemsThe right controller solution is essential for effective monitoring on mine sites. Power over Ethernet-based camera set-ups represent an increasingly popular option, offering ruggedness, high performance, and flexibility benefits.
They are frequently in remote environments, host millions of dollars’ worth of capital put to the job of extracting countless tonnes of valuable material from the earth.
They can also be a target for thieves or saboteurs, or be struck to random disasters or equipment failures. All of these can be hugely costly, and downtime costs – like anything in the mining sector – can pile up high and rapidly.
