EACON Mining has partnered with Xichang Mining, a Baowu company, to automate operations at the Taihe iron mine in China – the company’s first iron ore project.
In the first phase of the mine’s automation, EACON will provide its OEM-agnostic autonomous haulage solution (AHS) ORCASTRA for a fleet of six SANY electric mining trucks, each equipped with drive-by-wire systems per EACON’s requirements and standards. Alongside the onboard AHS system ORCASTRA Pilot, the company will also deploy its full suite of AHS capabilities, including the ORCASTRA Conductor fleet management system and the ORCASTRA Crew equipment and vehicle system.
EACON said there are plans for a full-site rollout following successful implementation.
