When Epiroc recently released the fourth generation of its Titan collision avoidance system (CAS), it brought with it a suite of enhancements to what was an already advanced technology.
Epiroc Australia digital sales manager Andreas Prill called Titan CAS Generation 4 (Gen4) the company's "latest and greatest evolution" in CAS technology.
"Besides new architecture, we have introduced a range of new features which will future-proof this system for our customers for many years to come," Prill told Australian Mining.
"South Africa is currently setting the bar for CAS in surface and underground mining around the globe, so it is critical that we receive certification first to best serve our South African customers and ultimately all customers around the globe."
Titan CAS has been developed and refined over 10 years in South Africa's harsh mining conditions, enabling it to be used on all mining machines across all systems.
Titan CAS does the hard work of detecting collisions while also acting as the central interface, coordinating and sending out information when miners need it most.
Epiroc understands that to provide a robust and versatile CAS solution, it needs to combine the smarts of several technologies.
