MineWare has secured an agreement to supply its dragline monitoring and intelligence solutions across all of BHP Billiton-Mitsubishi Alliance's (BMA) mines in Queensland.
The monitoring systems make use of the latest developments in GPS and wireless Ethernet technologies, mobile functionality and enhanced system integration.
MineWare says it aims to improve how the mining industry captures, analyses and interprets valuable production data from draglines and other heavy mining equipment.
The company’s latest remote, mobile monitoring systems collect and expose a wide range of dragline information for on and off board analysis.
This includes mine plans, GPS stamped production data, delay reporting, detailed PLC information, strain gauge data and video camera footage.
According to the developer, its vendor engagement model was a key driver in securing the partnership and other new client contracts.
Since its establishment in 2005, MineWare says it has enjoyed a significant relationship with BMA, developing and installing its dragline monitor systems for a number of the company's key sites.
The company’s Pegasys dragline monitor has also been adopted by BHP Billiton Energy Coal South Africa.
