Distributed Industrial Automation and Control System. Revolutionising mining efficiency and safety with seamless automation and real-time insight.
The mining sector has long grappled with challenges posed by legacy industrial automation systems, which hinder real-time, actionable intelligence and fail to leverage the full potential of modern technologies. Mines face obstacles due to automation technologies that offer limited scalability, lack local critical functions, and suffer from long downtimes due to centralised control vulnerabilities.
​
MineZone, powered by the revolutionary BASE architecture emerges as a transformative solution, decentralising intelligence, fostering seamless interoperability, enhanced situational awareness, and robust field intelligence.
How MineZone Works
MineZone is built on the revolutionary BASE industrial automation architecture, and represents a game changing departure from traditional automation approaches. It is an agent-based, distributed automation platform that emphasizes scalability, OEM interoperability, and seamless integration of humans and machines.
A MineZone is sustained by a multimodal network of communication strategies, and its unique architecture allows for selforganising machines, sensors and personnel. This enables IoT and edge intelligence independent of network connectivity
MineZone in Action
Inside MineZone: Explaining BASE
MineZone Automation
BASE resources are drawn to and linked by the activities that need them.
A fractal control hierarchy is formed by activities and sub-activities
MineZone BHives create their own communication network anywhere, detecting and managing all machines, sensors, and personnel as resource or activity agents in a self-organizing control hierarchy. True edge intelligence.
