‘Lite’ bulks up
Sandvik will launch its fleet automation solution for surface tophammer (DPi Range) and DTH (Pantera) drill rigs in the final quarter of 2014.
Currently available as AutoMine Lite for single rig remote control, this AutoMine Fleet launch will enable up to three rigs to be controlled simultaneously by one operator while sitting in a control room environment. AutoMine Fleet for surface drills will be available as an option on all new drill rig orders or can be retrofitted to newer DPi and Pantera rigs that are already working in the field.
