Provides real-time predictive proximity alerts and vehicle / asset tracking via web based reporting.
Provides interaction reports, journey replay, hot-spotting, geofenced exclusion zones / alarm events, safety adherence reports and system health monitoring.
Touch screen HMI with graphics display of remote objects showing ID, range, speed and heading with configurable audible, voice and visual alarms.
Personnel Protection Units alert workers in close proximity to heavy mobile equipment, substantially reducing the risk of personal injury.
Strategically placed proximity units afford operators unparalleled situational awareness—contributing to improved safety levels on-site.
Robust wide-view cameras eliminate blind spots with auto switching on direction of travel and to zones of object detection.
Monitor and correct unsafe operator practices to improve your mine site’s safety culture and compliance.
The proximity detection system provides unparalleled integrity and redundancy for improved protection and two-way alarming between vehicles, personnel and infrastructure.
Real time data connectivity allows for personnel tracking and messaging, and asset tracking (contingent on mine site communications network coverage)

Building on Wabtec's best in class Drill Guidance System, we are expanding the first stage offering in the digital mine cradle to grave mine digitization strategy, improving accuracy of borehole data and reducing "drill to data" time. We are world’s most reliable & accurate drill-guidance system (DGS) for underground coal mining. DGS is primarily used to strategically and thoroughly drain coal seams of potentially deadly explosive gases prior to commencement.
We are continuously strengthening our offering through in-house development and third-party partnerships. Our latest advances will enable geological ore-body mapping and dewatering of open-pit mining as additional functionalities.
DGS is a Risk Mitigation Product and is Certified for use in Group I Explosive Atmospheres in several countries and is currently the Industry Leader, with proven performance for over 17 years and a Global footprint with unparalleled accuracy, it has been praised by customers as consistently “hitting targets the size of a dinner plate at 1000 meters”......
The DGS Downhole Unit is an I.S. MWD electronic survey instrument that is installed behind the downhole motor on the end of the drill rods. When used during directional drilling, the Downhole Unit measures the pitch, azimuth and tool face survey information. It sends this data as well as system information back to the DGS computer system mounted on the drill rig via the MECCA communications system installed in the drill rods. MWD means that the surveying of the drilled hole is far more efficient than other survey systems.
DGS Touch is an Intrinsically Safe (I.S.) Measure Whilst Drilling (MWD) survey tool for Directional Drilling in underground Coal mines for gas drainage, exploration and dewatering holes.
DGS Touch is operated entirely using the Touch Screen which provides easy access to all features of the system. The intuitive software offers only the screens relevant to the current operation which increases drilling efficiency and enables the operator to very quickly access the specific functions required.
DGS Touch is designed to provide advanced diagnostics, such as full battery management, Downhole Instrument diagnostics and MECCA line communication analysis.
DGS with Touch Screen Technology
All operations of the DGS are controlled using the touch screen and the software displays the menu buttons relevant to the current operation.
Industrial safety officers and managers are under constant pressure to create and maintain accident free environments. Digital Workplace Safety enables your existing CCTV system to recognize safety and zone violations while monitoring its own camera health. The result is vastly improved infringement and incident detection. Wabtec’s Digital Mine’s Safety Solution combined with Stone Three Solutions provides for safety monitoring system that allow for consistent, real-time detection. Digital Workplace Safety software processes multiple CCTV feeds simultaneously. Its ever-evolving machine learning filters (artificial intelligence) is trained to recognize – and get continuously better at recognizing:
Mine sites are governed by rigorous safety procedures and policies, but even so, with employees both on foot and often necessarily driving light vehicles in the vicinity of hydraulic shovels and excavators, haul trucks, mobile drills and dozers, accidents and SPIs occur.
BHP, the world’s leading mining operator, is no stranger to Wabtec’s Digital Mining solutions. We’ve partnered with them successfully around the world, most recently in Australia, where they’ve seen the safety benefits of our CAS solution in action. Now they want that same ‘best-in-class’ safety system fitted to their extensive fleet in their Escondida mine in northern Chile, the world’s largest copper mine.
