Technology In Favor Of Innovation And Safety In Mining – Vale’s Reinforcement Work On The Macacos Dam In MG Has Services Executed By Unmanned Dump Trucks.

Testing began in November through Vale for the implementation of two off-road trucks at the Carajás mine for mining services. The innovation is accompanied by development and training actions for mining professionals in the region. In autonomous operations, the trucks are controlled by computer systems, GPS, radars, and artificial intelligence, and monitored by operators in control rooms kilometers away from the operations where the trucks are, which brings even more safety to the activities.

When detecting potential risks, the trucks completely stop their mining or related activities until the path is cleared. The safety system sensors are capable of detecting both larger objects, such as big rocks and other trucks in their path, as well as humans who may be in their route.

Director Of Vale’s North Corridor States: ‘Autonomous Trucks Bring Many Benefits’

“It is another advance that brings social, environmental, and economic gains, reduces the exposure of employees to risks, increases competitiveness, reduces the emission of polluting gases, and also promotes the training and evolution of professional skills, following a natural trend currently experienced in the market worldwide.” Said Antônio Padovezi.
