摘要

Sandvik furthers innovation in mining applications with the introduction of new concepts and machine models, including AutoMine and a battery-powered 18-tonne loader. Sandvik Mining and Rock Technology revealed AutoMine, its future vision and concept for autonomous mining equipment, at its Innovation in Mining Virtual Event on 29 September. The AutoMine Concept perceives its surroundings and environment in 3D and reacts to it in real time. These technologies allow vehicles to adapt and plan their own routes, and to find the most suitable paths even in continuously changing environments. Sandvik claims its obstacle detection, collision avoidance and 3D online mapping capabilities improve adaptability and increase flexibility.
