Hexagon has launched its Operator Alertness System (OAS) 7.5, a significant advancement in mining safety technology that sets a new global benchmark. It integrates with Hexagon’s Collision Avoidance System (CAS 10) to deliver valuable insights into vehicle interactions and operator behavior.
A successful field deployment of OAS 7.5 at Whitehaven Coal’s operations in Australia demonstrated the robustness and efficiency of the system. The trial spanned an entire fleet and ran for more than a cumulative 10,000 operating hours. The integration worked with exceptional processing efficiency, noted Hexagon, averaging just 5.8 seconds for event videos to be remotely available for review, all with minimal network impact due to advancements in edge-based video data handling.
“OAS 7.5 reaffirms Hexagon’s commitment to delivering industry-leading safety solutions that support customers in achieving their zero-harm goals,” said Dave Goddard, Hexagon’s Mining division executive vice president. “We continue to collaborate with partners and mining leaders globally to refine these technologies and set new standards for operational excellence.”
The latest release features numerous enhancements expanding upon the existing capabilities of OAS, and the integration with CAS 10 enables automatic capture and display of predicted collision event videos, giving safety personnel a real-time window into critical events and operator performance.
