Hexagon Completes Safety Installation with Rossing


Hexagon's Mining division has completed a significant safety installation with Rossing Uranium Mine in Namibia. Primary mining vehicles at the mine are now equipped with HxGN MineProtect Operator Alertness System Heavy Vehicle (OAS-HV). OAS-HV is an integrated fatigue and distraction-detection, alerting, and reporting solution that helps operators maintain the level of attention necessary for long shifts.

"Hexagon shares Rossing's commitment to safety and the core belief that people are a mine's most precious asset," said Andrew Crose, Managing Director-EMEA, Hexagon's Mining division. "The resourcefulness displayed by everyone involved was impressive. It ensured that we completed the project successfully and ahead of schedule."

Integrated with HxGN MineProtect Collision Avoidance System, OAS-HV uses sophisticated computer vision technology to provide a real-time fatigue and distraction risk status and traffic awareness to operators via unobtrusive, operator-friendly displays.

‘’A successful trial among operators of OAS-HV in Q4 2020 led to full deployment,’’ said George Murasiki, former Principal Advisor: Pit Operations and current Principal Advisor: Long Term Planning. "The system was fully adopted by the operators," said Murasiki.
