SICK\u2019s Berm Monitoring System is truck-mounted to ensure a simple, reliable solution that ensures bunds remain as effective critical controls in open pit mining.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Safety berms are critical for the safe movement of heavy machinery in open pit operations. Continued berm integrity is therefore also critical, as is ongoing monitoring to ensure berm integrity. SICK Automation has developed the SICK Advanced Object Detection LiDAR System (AOS LiDAR) which offers high reliability for outdoor applications. Using an outdoor scanner, safety controls and an intelligent system, AOS LiDAR is the ideal solution for berm monitoring, automating the previous time-consuming and sometimes imprecise manual vision inspections. \u00ac\u00ac<\/p>\n

SICK\u2019s berm monitoring solution provides a truck-mounted, perception-based solution that scans berms in real time. It consists of an onboard embedded processing system, a global navigation satellite system (GNSS) localisation and the AOS LiDAR scanner. It provides reliable long-distance detection in any environmental conditions and incorporates defined alarm outputs for predetermined objects to reduce false alarms. The system\u2019s modular construction offers flexible extension options, made simpler with its easy integration into machine control.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne example of AOS LiDAR\u2019s effectivity is the reduction in both downtime and costs associated with berm-related accidents,\u201d points out Grant Joyce, Head of Process Automation Sales and Marketing, SICK Automation. The data from scanned berms is transmitted through a central server and reporting system 24\/7. \u201cThis allows operational personnel to identify of any section of any berm that requires investigation, as well as the fault criticality, and take immediate action.\u201d<\/p>\n

Proof of Concept for South African mine
A Mpumalanga based South African coal mine ordered a proof of concept (POC) berm monitoring solution earlier this year. After several modifications, feedback from the mine proves they are more than satisfied with the outcome. \u201cThe implementation for different mines will vary according to their geographic location and local factors that influence their berm requirements,\u201d Joyce points out. \u201cHowever, customising our solution to fit our customers\u2019 precise requirements forms part of our solution offering.<\/p>\n

The scope of work included technical vehicle inspection, ensuring software compatibility for the solutions\u2019 management system, product installation, integration and commissioning. Physical installation was two days per vehicle, although numerous modifications were subsequently made for the system to better suit the mine\u2019s unique requirements.<\/p>\n

\u201cMany of our product features suited their exact needs,\u201d Joyce says. \u201cIn instances where they did not, the operators suggested system modifications which we were able to incorporate. The result is an easy-to-use berm monitoring system tailored to that mine\u2019s exact application needs, and one that is sufficiently flexible to accommodate future adaptations should they be required.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cKey to this offering was the ease of implementation into the mine\u2019s daily operations,\u201d Joyce concludes, \u201cand you can already see the difference.\u201d<\/p>\n
