The company is committed to improving mining safety and productivity through enhanced communication, data insights, and mechanization Nerospec SK’s solutions, such as the neroHUB, have made mines in South Africa safer South African mines are among the most dangerous in the world, with sudden rockfall being a leading cause of fatalities However, the country has seen improvements in mine safety in recent years, with accident-related deaths falling to 49 in 2022 from 74 the previous year Nerospec SK’s solutions aim to eliminate machine-related fatalities in mines The High Performance Mining Conference, where Tiaan Tromp from Nerospec SK spoke about the company’s solutions, is a leading international conference in Germany with respect to mining technology and innovation In conclusion, Nerospec SK’s solutions have made mines in South Africa safer, and the company is committed to improving mining safety and productivity through enhanced communication, data insights, and mechanization. The High Performance Mining Conference is a leading international conference in Germany with respect to mining technology and innovation.

The 25th International Safety in Mines (ISEM) Conference took place in Lima, Peru from 29-31 March 2023. ISEM’s main objective is to disseminate the latest advances in worldwide Mining Safety, by bringing together the leading minds and technology that are making a difference within this space. Harald Bornebroek, Business Development Manager at Nerospec SK, was invited to give a presentation on “Making Mines Safer by Implementing EMESRT Level 9 and Autonomous Machines”. Harald was able to present the many advances that Nerospec SK has led, within mine machine automation and share the wealth of knowledge gained from years of successful Level 9 implementations. The positive reaction from an enthusiastic crowd bodes well for the future of mine safety and automation.  

I am thrilled to see this smiling multi-cultural team of achievers, who have just finished a Vehicle Intervention Control (VIC), Proximity Detection Interface (PDI) installation to the mining ruggedized electric Light Vehicle (e-LV) of Tembo. The work was efficiently done in Tembo’s Eindhoven facility, with great competence and toolset. Another job well done. Kudos to the collaboration of the installation team.

The past week has been one full of streamlining, team building, and plenty of fun, as the Nerospec SK core team has come together with the South African Nerospec OSCON, technology and manufacturing center in Joburg. Besides Sales & Marketing planning and Product Roadmap perfectioning it has been impressive to see the team work with the hardware and software development team as much as the supply chain team. The capabilities of the Joburg team are amazing and outstanding in many ways. The hardware design team works with state-of-the-art 3D CAD systems to perfect rugged housings that are optimized for underground mining environments and the specific wireless radio frequencies that Nerospec uses. Moreover, in a global chip supply crisis, the world-class 3D design team working on brand new printed circuit boards (PCBs), illustrate the viability that Nerospec solutions offer. This ensures that we remain a reliable supplier to customers, as chip constraints are simply bypassed by upgrading chipsets to the most modern and available products and in the process adding the newest cutting-edge technology. We have worked through the new coming pipeline of products and software enhancements not only on the firmware of controllers and loggers, like the neroHUB and nanoHUB, but also on the software side there is much to expect from the next release of Short Interval Monitoring And Control (SIMAC). Also, seeing the local sore with component stock and the manufacturing capabilities with four automated pick-and-place production lines, has confirmed confidence in Nerospec’s capability to deliver product to the coming global uptake on Underground Communication and Data Logging Systems, Vehicle Intervention Control Systems and Automation Systems. Last but most importantly, the team building has been just amazing! Leading to the conclusion that we all click like one team ensuring that Connected. Mining. Works.
