Enable Remote Operations Across Your Mining Sites

Mining operations manage various coordination challenges regularly. A remote pump station needs a thermal inspection, but the nearest qualified technician is a full day’s drive away. An autonomous machine at a distributed location requires supervision, but full-time staffing is not practical. For businesses facing these situations, Intermountain Technologies can help. We build connectivity and monitoring infrastructure to support remote mining oversight. We work with a range of technologies, selecting and integrating those your specific sites require.

Remote Operations Technologies

We bring extensive experience and product knowledge to help you design, deploy and support a connected remote operation that fits your environment. The different solutions we leverage include:

Rajant Kinetic Mesh^® Network

A remote site management strategy starts and ends with connectivity. Without a reliable network link between the remote site and your operations center, every other system on this page is inaccessible. Rajant Kinetic Mesh^® delivers remote mining connectivity with no fiber and no cell towers required.

It offers:

Remote site connectivity: Connect isolated mine sites to your operations center via a private wireless network, eliminating the need for permanent infrastructure to achieve full operational visibility.
Real-time video streaming: Monitor equipment and site activity at remote locations with live video feeds, so site managers can assess conditions and coordinate activities.
Remote equipment monitoring and control: Manage equipment from a central location without requiring a site visit, reducing the need for on-site personnel and saving time on routine oversight.
Data backhaul: Move data from distributed sites back to your team continuously, ensuring your operations center has information for timely decisions.
Rapid deployment: Get new or temporary sites connected in days, sized to your power consumption, so your team can begin operations or expand into new areas without long infrastructure lead times.

For remote locations without grid power, our solar trailer systems provide self-contained power for BreadCrumb nodes, cameras and monitoring equipment. The combination — solar power and private wireless mesh — means a fully connected remote site that doesn’t require an electrical contractor or a telecom installation. It deploys in days and relocates as the operation develops.

Remote Production Visibility with AVA Solutions

Knowing whether your remote haul operation is performing the way it should doesn’t require someone on site. It requires the right data coming off the site in real-time. AVA works with 600+ existing GPS unit types with no new in-cab hardware, pulling cycle times, queue durations, idle periods and delay events into a cloud-based dashboard your operations center can access from anywhere.

For a remote load and haul operation, this matters for two reasons. First, your supervisors see production performance across the fleet in real-time rather than reviewing reports after the shift ends and the opportunity to intervene has passed. Second, AVA’s dispatch optimization uses live fleet data to assign equipment where it creates the most production value each shift — decisions that previously required a supervisor physically present on site to make.

Over time, AVA builds a behavioral and pattern record that surfaces the queue dynamics and delay trends affecting shift-to-shift output. That’s the difference between managing a remote site reactively and actually understanding how it runs.

Thermal Imaging Cameras

Thermal monitoring for remote operations gives your team visibility into assets and infrastructure that would otherwise require regular site visits. A thermal imaging camera at a remote pump station, electrical substation or pipeline segment can detect heat signatures and alert your team to a developing situation before it requires an on-site response.

This solution delivers:

24/7 automated monitoring: Keep continuous watch over remote equipment and infrastructure even when no one is on-site, giving your team visibility into site conditions around the clock.
Remote thermal inspections: Conduct thorough thermal assessments of remote assets without scheduling a physical site visit to save travel time and field personnel costs.
Infrastructure monitoring: Track temperature patterns across pipelines, tank farms and electrical systems from a central location, catching heat-related faults before they affect operations.
Perimeter security: Monitor site boundaries using thermal imaging and add a layer of site protection without additional staffing.
Thermal footage archiving: Store recordings for analysis, compliance reporting and future reference, building a historical record of site conditions.

Where remote personnel are working, Provix 360° AI cameras provide automated proximity detection and alerts around heavy equipment. When you’re running a reduced crew at a remote site, the margin for a take-up zone or proximity incident that would normally be caught by a spotter is smaller. The camera system fills that gap.

AIM Intelligent Machines

AIM supports mining equipment automation by enabling your team to remotely control and supervise autonomous machines at distributed sites without requiring full-time on-site operators. AIM allows operators to apply techniques to each site’s specific conditions, so one team member can monitor multiple machines simultaneously from a central location. This capability can reduce staffing overhead and give your operation greater flexibility in managing distributed equipment.

Network Management Software

Managing connectivity across distributed sites requires clear visibility into your network’s performance at all times. Network management software gives your team the ability to monitor network health, address connectivity concerns, optimize performance and push configuration updates to remote nodes without sending personnel into the field.
