Q: Can the thermal camera record?
A: Yes, Nautitech can supply a recording device which is capable of 144 hours of continuous recording (640 x 480 analogue) from two thermal cameras operating on a mobile machine. The device is typically fitted into the machines main FLP.

See bystanders more clearly and stop running over trailing cables. Designed to excel in darkness, steam, heat, and dust.

Federal regulators have proposed that equipment used to haul coal in underground mines be required to have technology designed to prevent miners from being run over or crushed.

The technology covered in the rule that the U.S. Mine Safety and Health Administration has proposed is called a proximity-detection system. It uses electronic sensors to detect motion and the distance between a miner and a machine to prevent a miner from being run over or crushed.

: A driver’s range of vision using just
his headlights is limited to approximately 20 meters. Whereas the Thermal camera can detect the heat signature of a person 500 meters away.

Thermal cameras detect heat instead of light, the advantage of this is a clearer display of people, machines, cables and other warm objects in areas that are in darkness, or shrouded
by dust, heat or steam.

Q: What’s the main benefit of the thermal camera?
A: Mobile machines – increased visibility of pedestrians, particularly in blind spots. And increased visibility of the trailing cable so that impacts and arcing can be reduced.

Recent safety reports show just how many physical dangers there are due to lack of visibility.

The issue challenging underground mining operations is the
environmental limitations that come with being underground
in confined areas including darkness, dust, water spray mist
and restricted machine ‘line of site’. These conditions expose
employees to the risk of crushing, pinning or being run over
causing serious injury or death.

The thermal imaging camera technology developed by Nautitech, designed to significantly reduce workplace injuries and trailing cable and equipment damage, has won…

High temperatures improve safety underground?
The last thing an underground coal miner wants is something
in the mine that’s hotter than it should be. And for very good
reason - excessive heat can lead to the f-word (fire). Read on how heat can improve safety >> http://ow.ly/SvDlQ

Congratulations to all six companies!
Congratulations to the 6 mining companies who received awards from the Ministry for Energy and resources, Indonesia:
PT Kaltim Prima Coal (KPC), PT Tunas Inti Abadi and PT Pamapersada Nusantara site PT Kaltim Prima Coal (KPC) received awards for Safe Mining.
PT Berau Coal,PT Vale Indonesia, Tbk – at Sorowako and
PT Bukit Asam (Persero) Tbk – at Tanjung Enim received the award for Environmental Sustainability.

Visibility is ruthlessly compromised...

General communications and the reporting of incidents occurring around the coal face has traditionally been hampered by the need for mine employees to physically walk back to the crib room and pick up the phone in order to request help.
Need continuous comms at your continuous miner?

“People can be seen if cameras are available, or heard at any given point including people around the continuous miner because they have access to the Wi-Fi bubble. Previously this was not possible due to a lack of communications” – Brad Price, Ensham
