Falls and Dangerous Items No Longer Threaten Miners

Giant excavators cut the pieces of soil, layer by layer, and conveyor belts take the material away. The control cabin of the K10000/K74 mining machine is located very close to the excavator, so there is a risk that a potential explosion will directly endanger the operator’s life and health.

Moving the controls to a backup location deep in the bowels and safety of the mining machine, and using a camera system provide the operator with the same view as from the original cabin. This nonstandard requirement was a challenge for the integrator. It had to invent a unique custom-made solution without compromising the mining machine’s functions or possibilities.

After ENELEX’s long-term experience with the Axis IP cameras, there was no other choice but to base the whole system right on this brand. Reliability and durability under heavy conditions were a must, and the biggest enemies were dustiness and vibration during the machine’s operation.

In total, 18 AXIS Q3505-VE Network Cameras have been installed to deliver video to three different locations, providing a secure working environment for employees.
