Wabtec technology extends awareness for safer mines
One of the most important hallmarks of a successful mine, according to recent studies, is a tireless quest to reduce harm incidents to zero. Collision awareness systems (CAS) that leverage the latest proximity detection systems (PDS) technology are becoming an essential tool as mines advance towards this goal. Providing and supporting such systems has been central to SMS Equipment’s mission to deliver industry-leading technology solutions. For this Tech Spotlight, we’ve compiled insights from the SMS Equipment technology team on how Wabtec’s Generation 3 CAS technology is helping mines to significantly enhance safety and productivity in mining operations by preventing collisions between vehicles, thereby contributing to "zero harm" objectives.
