MINERAL RESOURCE IS EXHAUSTIBLE EXTREMELY HIGH SET UP COST WITH NO
GUARANTEES! A GREAT DEAL OF UNCERTAINTY - RISKY REQUIRES EXPENSIVE CUSTOM-MADE
EQUIPMENT & GEAR SAFETY, ENVIRONMENTAL, LOCAL AND
LAND GOVERNMENT CONCERNS ARE TOP AGENDA
EXTREMELY HIGH RISK – HIGH REWARD ENTERPRISE
Paul Appiah - Monash University presentation 16/12/2013
DEFINITION: CONTROL OF EQUIPMENT, A PROCESS OR
SYSTEM BY …… WHAT CAN BE AUTOMATED? A MINE LIKE ANY OTHER ESTABLISHMENT
IS MADE UP OF 3 “P”s

RIO TINTO HAS ALREADY BEEN OPERATING A ROC VALE PURSUING TRUCKLESS MINING WITH
MOVEABLE CONVEYORS AT Carajas Serra Sul Iron ore Mine. (usd140M 4YR CONTRACT WITH ABB)
Paul Appiah - Monash University presentation 16/12/2013
BHPB ANNONCED IN MID JULY 2013 THE OPENING OF A ROC IN PERTH
GINA RINEHARTS ROY HILL COMPANY SETTING UP A ROC IN PERTH
CITIGOLD IS IN THE MIX
Paul Appiah - Monash University presentation 16/12/2013
THE REST OF THE PACK
Paul Appiah - Monash University presentation 16/12/2013
1. REDUCING THE OPERATING COSTS 2. IMPROVING SAFETY 3. BIG GAINS IN PRODUCTIVITY 4. BIG GAINS IN MACHINERY OUTPUT 5. OVERALL TOTAL COST REDUCTION 6. OPERATORS ARE REMOVED FROM HARZARDOUS
AREAS 7. FIFO IS MINIMINED WHEN USING ROCs 8. BORING REPETIVITE TASKS NOW COMPUTERISED 9. HUMAN ERRORS ARE MINIMIZED 10. BETTER FUTURE PREDICTIONS CAN BE MADE 11. IMPROVEMENT IN EFFICIENCIES
Paul Appiah - Monash University presentation 16/12/2013
1. MORE SPECIALISATION OF SKILLS 2. SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE TO AVOID
BREAKDOWNS 3. REAL TIME MONITORING AND ANALYSIS OF
DATA, TO ANTICIPATE BREAKDOWNS 4. INNOVATION CHAMPION REQUIRED FOR WHAT
IS NEEDED, WHEN AND HOW TO IMPLEMENT
Paul Appiah - Monash University presentation 16/12/2013
1. THE DRILL AND BLAST PROCESS EVERY SHIFT FOR U/G MAKES AUTOMATION OF WORKFACE DIFFICULT
2. CURRENTLY TRIALING TUNNELLING APPROACH IN U/G SO D&B CAN BE ELIMINATED
3. MINING ENGINEERS OF THE FUTURE WHO TRULY UNDERSTAND THE METAMORPHORSIS HAPPENING WITHIN THE MINING AND MINERAL INDUSTRY WOULD BE REQUIRED.
4. IMPLEMENING “WOMA” IN ITS ENTIRELITY 5. FIXING PART OF THE PROCESS MAKES THE
PROBLEM MOVE TO OTHER PARTS OF THE OPERATION 6. DESIGNING A TAILORED SYSTEM
Paul Appiah - Monash University presentation 16/12/2013
Paul Appiah - Monash University presentation 16/12/2013
1. Line of sight remote control system 2. Line of sight remote operator station 3. Line of sight remote personnel carriers 4. Self-contained trailers 5. Truck mounted 6. Teleremote Cabins 7. Remote Operating Centres
Paul Appiah - Monash University presentation 16/12/2013
1. Protects operator’s life 2. Prevents machine accidents 3. Hazardous machine applications can be completed
safely 4. Prevents repetitive work injuries 5. Greater overall operator vision Reduce whole body
vibration 6. Improved ergonomic working environment for the
operator 7. Productivity gains between production cycles 8. Reduce the risk of slip injuries getting on/off machine 9. More control of critical machine tolerances
