Digital Mine Collision Awareness System

Driving toward maximum productivity and fostering safer mining practices
Help foster safer mining practices with GE's Digital Mine Collision Awareness solutions suite, a sophisticated and adaptable collision awareness and reporting system
developed specifically for the mining industry.
Above and below ground
Using a VLF magnetic system, the Collision Awareness System (CAS) enables detection around corners and through strata to provide alerts for potential collisions between
people and heavy equipment before they happen. The high-integrity CAS-Surface can be deployed with a variety of proximity detection methods including GPS, radio frequency
(RF), VLF magnetic, and cameras. With the CAS reporting and analytics tools, you can monitor and manage operator behavior, as well as help improve safety culture and
compliance at your mine site.

Value Pillars
Fostering Safer
Mining Practices
Workplace injuries are unacceptable, and
with the CAS suite of solutions safer mining
practices can be fostered.
Technological advancements have led to
fundamental changes on the ground, and the
developing world’s need for resources has
impacted the industry greatly. But the very real
risks associated with mining remain.
CAS is a sophisticated operator’s aid that
allows for enhanced situational and proximity
awareness. Proven in open cut and underground
environments, CAS allows for detection around
corners, through strata and, importantly, between
people, vehicles, and infrastructure.
Specifically, CAS helps foster safer mining
practices which can help in reducing the incidence
of collisions between:
• Vehicles and people
• Vehicles and vehicles
• Vehicles and infrastructure
Managing Operator Behavior
Monitor and correct operator
practices with CAS.
CAS offers mining companies the technology to
manage operator behavior with effective reporting
tools that can help culture and compliance. This
represents a highly cost-effective way of avoiding
disruptions and productivity losses.
CAS is a valuable reporting tool. The system
allows mine site personnel to monitor key
statistics regarding vehicle interactions and near
misses, providing site and corporate personnel
with valuable insights into on-site safety as well
as data that may be used to improve individual
operator behavior.
CAS is an original equipment manufacturer
(OEM)-independent system, which allows for
easy site integration. It is adaptable, meaning
that mine site employees only need to learn one
system for use across a variety of applications
and environments.
Industry Leaders
in Compliance
Set new standards
CAS is one of the most sophisticated collision
awareness systems available today. It offers
the mining industry a unique opportunity to
help foster safer mining practices which may
improve on-site safety and demonstrate their
safety credentials to employees, clients, and the
regulatory bodies.

Service and Support
Ensure year-round reliability.
With GE's Digital Mining service and support team
at your disposal, you can ensure that CAS runs
seamlessly all year.
With unsurpassed service and support, we'll keep
your system in excellent condition. Available

Technology
Provide advanced collision
awareness technology.
Embodying the spirit of Thomas Edison who
famously said, “I find out what the world needs,
then I proceed to invent it,” GE's Digital Mining
produces technology-driven solutions for mine
sites around the world. We employ sophisticated
GPS technology for surface operations, radio
communications, blind spot cameras, proximity
sensing, and smart two-way proximity alerts that
