Video: ‘Big bang’ in commodity demand set to lift miners, Prins says
Global geopolitical and energy transformations are driving an increased demand for tangible holdings, notably commodities, which are critical for the energy transition.
LAS VEGAS, Nev. (September 25, 2012) — Just released, Carlson Software’s all-new Carlson Fleet Manager Office is designed to handle the two-way communications, data transfer, and remote monitoring of machines on a modern, connected mine-site.
Carlson Fleet Manager Office is a completely updated and enhanced Command & Control monitoring and data management system that increases both safety and productivity by transmitting data from the machines to the office and from the office to the machines.
“The system transmits in real-time via standard wireless and mesh networks,” says Randy Noland, V.P. of Carlson Machine Control. “However, static connectivity is also supported to allow data to be stored locally in each machine and copied to a thumb drive for post analysis.”
Managers can see and monitor multiple machines in multiple views. Activity, GPS status, delay/idle or down time can all be monitored and then reporting functions allow these aspects to be analyzed. Additional outputs include real time cut/fill and real time elevation at one site or multiple sites all from one location, plus existing surface from all machines at a mine site.
Projects can be created for an entire fleet, saving the time necessary to do each individually, all with a dynamic change function—make a change in one aspect of the project and it will be updated throughout the system with Carlson Fleet Manager Office.
This scalable remote monitoring tool facilitates productivity analysis and data management while providing avoidance zones and on-site proximity warnings. It also enhances training opportunities and allows for trouble-shooting across many aspects of a mine site.
The system transmits through GSM/CDMA cellular, standard wireless and mesh networks. All data is hosted and owned by the user.
“This software benefits strongly from Carlson’s extensive experience with the close managing needs of mining operations,” adds Josh Weber, Carlson Machine Control Product Manager. “This program not only monitors your project site and equipment, it increases safety while saving users time and money and reducing energy use.”
Carlson Fleet Manager Office is available through Carlson’s extensive machine control dealer network. For more information about the product and other Carlson Positioning & Machine Control offerings, call 606-564-5028, email [email protected] or visit www.carlsonmachinecontrol.com.
