The Technologies that Drive Proximity Detection
By Strata Proximity Systems
No matter how advanced mining machinery becomes, reducing the risk of unintentional interaction between miner and machine continues to be a vital component of safety. Each year, the industry reports injuries and even deaths due to unsafe contact with mobile equipment.
In response, a range of proximity detection technologies and collision avoidance solutions have emerged on the market over the years, all in an effort to reduce – and hopefully eliminate – these hazards.
