ALTOS LiDAR solves many problems

Mining at a Glance

A Convergent Technology Sector

Mining presents unique challenges across production, management, and security – all areas where EMS solutions excel.

While many companies correctly identify data as crucial for enhanced security, simply relying on onsite control rooms or replacing security personnel when losses don’t reduce isn’t a comprehensive solution.

A more strategic, data-driven approach is needed to truly address losses and optimize ROI across the entire mining operation.

Mining Sector Solutions: Data-Driven Efficiency and Loss Prevention
The mining industry faces unique challenges in production, management, and security. Our EMS products address these challenges across all three tiers, providing tailored solutions to meet your specific needs.

Our Approach:

We understand that controlling losses, generating efficiencies, and ensuring system repeatability are critical for success in today’s competitive market. Unlike traditional approaches that focus solely on loss prevention, our EMS solutions create a robust, long-term control structure.

Data-Driven Decision Making:

Our system uses data analysis to drive decision-making, enabling YES/NO questions to be answered accurately based on real-time circumstances. This ensures that decisions are consistently correct, even as external factors change. The data remains, providing a transparent record of past decisions and allowing for organic improvements in practices.

Key Benefits:

  • Fact-Based Operations: Decisions are driven by data, eliminating subjective interpretations.
  • Reduced Losses: Proactive loss prevention, not just reactive measures.
  • Improved Efficiencies: Optimized production and resource management.
  • Enhanced Security: Comprehensive security solutions tailored to the mining environment.


EMS Solutions:

Our solutions focus on areas of maximum loss, providing targeted improvements in labor management, production analytics, and communication. We don’t just offer band-aids; we provide lasting solutions for sustainable success in the mining industry.

LiDAR Vision Solutions

Two Solutions for LiDAR - Why..??

Flasheye is our main firmware and software supplier.

Firmware for ALTOS (ems solution starts with ALTOS),  Software for Onlogic industrial solutions (ems solution starts with Lidar)

Why..??

VMS solutions such as Milestone are sometimes considered expensive when customer look at the options available from the camera manufacturers.

This is simply not true.

VMS solutions such as Milestone with its open-platform flexibility allow products such as Commend, ALTOS, FlashEye to natively connect to other devices such as cameras – seamlessly, with ease and producing a more control based solution that doesn’t require operator intervention to function.

Together with the the fact that it is designed to provide a more future-proof security solutions is why they are our preferred choice.

So why the two options.

People buy from people, so in that saying it is not always the best solution that is purchased, instead customer weigh other factors, ending with them having solutions that do not always offer easy integration – think HIKCentral.

So where this occurs ONVIF M or ONVIF S or RTSP connections will not do and our offer has to be less integrated, more standalone, this is where we utilised Onlogic Rugged PC’s with MQTT broker protocols providing local control, monitored by the camera system.

So the Onlogic platform only for non VMS sites, Yes and No…

On certain bespoke solutions where very close fragmentation analysis is required, we may have to tighten our focal length and control, this is where we specify products from HESAI to provide the head end of the data gathering for the Flasheye processing.

ALTOSVolumes

Key Features of ALTOSVolumes

Volume Calculation: Accurately calculate the volume of materials in real-time.

Max/Min Level Detection: Monitor addition or loss of material with precision.

Object Detection: Identify various objects, including humans and vehicles, within the monitored zones.

Configurable Settings: Utilize a LiDAR view for configuring 3D zones and settings.

Alarm Presentation: Integrate with PC systems for alarm notifications and external interfaces.

Adaptability: Automatically adjust for day/night cycles or dust-laden atmospheres.

ALTOSSilos

All Flasheye/Altos70 fixed array IP POE LiDAR units ensure greater reliability of operation, management of production, improved efficiency and saves money with preventative actions.

ALTOSHaul-Loadfinder

Beyond Detection: Actionable Insights

Altos70Auto will automatically decide if a vehicle can proceed based on whether it is loaded or empty.  If it is in the correct configuration for the direction, Altos70 will open a gate or signal Milestone to open the gate and take a 2D image of the event.

Altos70STD will simply report if the vehicle is loaded or empty

No More False Transits: Ensure that no FULL vehicle leaves the area when it is supposed to be EMPTY, and no EMPTY vehicle leaves the area when it is supposed to be FULL.

Accurate Tracking: Track the number of trucks that dropped coal at the power station, and how many left.

Real-Time Challenges: Each challenge is recorded, allowing you to identify and address potential issues.

ALTOSHaul/Train V&F

Key Features of ALTOSHaul/Train V&F

V&F (Volume & Fragmentation)

Max/Min Level Detection: Alert on level reached.

Motion Detection: 3D scan of each vehicle

Volume: The measured volume in m3 of each vehicle

Fragmentation: Size of load particles

Classification: Classification in case multiple types of vehicles are driving under the sensor

Integrated Camera Control: Drive alarm motion or recording to provide CCTV image

ALTOSHaul-Density

Key Features of ALTOSHaul-Density

Density = Mass / Volume)

By utilising the features in V&F and combining with the nett weight produced by the weighbridge, ALTOS can calculate whether the load reading is correct and that the correct grade of material is loaded

ALTOS-Perimeter

Here’s how Opsys LiDAR excels:

Lightning-Fast Scanning: Every second, the entire field of view (FOV) is scanned 1000 times, creating a detailed point cloud that captures even the smallest objects.

Unmatched Accuracy: This rapid scanning translates to a remarkable signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), ensuring high probability of detection (POD) for even low-reflectivity targets at extended distances.

Seeing the Unseen: A 170cm tall person is detected at up to 120 meters away, while larger objects such as cars or trucks can be tracked with a movement registration of up to 200m to 300m, regardless or weather and lighting.

Adaptable for Any Situation: Larger objects, like vehicles, generate more reflection points, potentially extending the detection range even further. This adaptability makes Opsys LiDAR ideal for a wide range of applications.

  • Real-Time Alerts: When an object enters the detection zone, an alarm is sent to Milestone, triggering camera vectoring or other responses.
  • Enhanced Security: Detection can automatically activate Commend IP POE speakers for pre-recorded messaging or live interaction, deterring potential threats.

ALTOS-Area

So this is the Perimeter..??

YEP like the perimeter but tight on an area: Every second, the entire field of view (FOV) is scanned 1000 times, creating a detailed point cloud that captures even the smallest objects.

Unmatched Accuracy: This rapid scanning translates to a remarkable signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), ensuring high probability of detection (POD) for even low-reflectivity targets at extended distances.

  • Real-Time Alerts: When an object enters the detection zone, an alarm is sent to Milestone, triggering camera vectoring or other responses.
  • Enhanced Security: Detection can automatically activate Commend IP POE speakers for pre-recorded messaging or live interaction, deterring potential threats.
