3DReclaim

Our flagship product 3DReclaim is tailor made for reclaimers in use in stockyards of iron ore, coal, and other mining or bulk material handling facilities.

It uses our patented machine vision control system and has been proven in a range of customer installations to dramatically improve reclaimer performance in comparison to conventional PLC based methods.

3DReclaim actively scans stockpile volume ahead of the bucket wheel in real time to directly control the reclaim process with the world’s first truly volume based controller. The system optimises face up and end of bench sequences and controls the slew turnaround to minimise unproductive air digging. It also prevents downtime through bogging events typical for conventional control operations.

Facts

Typically operators can see less than 25% of the working area for a machine. They are essentially working blind in 75% of the working area.

Main features

Measures the reclaim process
Measures & controls reclaim volume rate
Pre-emptive reclaimer control
Optimal asset performance (not just the reclaimer)
Sustainable improvement
High return on investment
