Sandvik, Flanders to digitise technologies

Sandvik Mining and Rock Solutions has signed a deal with Flanders to develop a digital interface.

The digital interface will be designed to connect Flanders’ ARDVARC autonomous drill system and Sandvik’s iSeries rotary blasthole drills.

The creation of a digital interface will allow Sandvik’s rotary drills to work with the ARDVARC system with little to no changes made to the drill rig. The companies are targeting a ‘plug and play’ approach which would allow the two systems to work together.

Developing the interface would also mean that customers would have continued access to its OEM warrantee and after-sales support.

The companies are targeting the December quarter of this year to deploy its interface for the first time.

Sandvik will continue to develop its AutoMine surface drilling solutions for remote and autonomous operations on all its iSeries

drills.
