关于客户
CADDS Group 是一家领先的工程和设计咨询公司，提供跨多个行业（包括采矿业）的多元化服务。他们受力拓铁矿石公司 (RTIO) 委托，对西澳大利亚皮尔巴拉地区的所有 17 家铁矿石厂进行现场保卫审核。该项目涉及对高风险资产进行完整的现场验证，并更换或更新这些资产以优化员工安全。该项目预计耗资 8000 万澳元，要求 CADDS 获取所有地点现有基础设施的数据和文件，并在工厂预定的 12 周停工周期内完成防护工作。
挑战
力拓铁矿石公司（RTIO）在西澳大利亚皮尔巴拉地区运营着一个由铁矿石矿山和港口设施组成的综合网络。为了优化员工安全，RTIO 聘请 CADDS Group 对所有 17 家铁矿厂进行现场防护审计，完成高风险资产的现场验证，并更换或更新这些资产。该项目耗资 8000 万澳元，要求 CADDS 获取所有地点现有基础设施的数据和文档，并在工厂预定的 12 周停工周期内完成防护工作。在此项目之前，CADDS 将派遣一组绘图人员前往现场，创建现有设施的 2D 图纸。设计师可以根据这些 2D 图纸创建 3D 竣工模型。该团队使用这些通常不准确的模型来设计和制造新的防护装置，但由于每次安装都需要独特的组件，因此成本高昂。此外，一旦到达现场安装，CADDS 通常会发现新防护装置不合适，从而导致耗时且成本高昂的返工。
解决方案
CADDS Group 决定对工作流程进行数字化，以优化现场调查并开发标准化、易于安装、消除现场焊接并允许进行状态监测的模块化设计。该团队投资了 3D 激光扫描来捕获现场，并将点云导入 MicroStation 和 Descartes 进行处理，为现有现场结构创建可用的数字参考文件。这提高了建模准确性，并且借助 Bentley 应用程序，团队甚至可以快速传输最大的点云文件。该团队为 Dampier、Parker Point 现场审核引入了 ContextCapture，派测量员到配备数码相机的地点进行数据采集。摄影测量调查发现了 700 个因防护装置缺失或损坏、偏转不良、间隙过大或标识不足而需要纠正的问题。使用 Bentley 的实景建模应用程序可以根据捕获的图像创建多分辨率实景网格，从而减少对昂贵的 3D 扫描的依赖并加快设计时间。

It looked to investing in comprehensive operational and control technologies to manage and derive productivity and energy efficiency gains from the assets on Line 2, their second plant in India.
Case Study
Underground Mining Safety
The goal was to produce a safety system to monitor and support underground mining operations; existing systems were either too simple (i.e. phone line) or overly complex and expensive, inhibiting deployment, and providing little-to-no support in event of an accident. Given the dangerous nature of the mining work environment and the strict regulations placed on the industry, the solution would have to comply with Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) regulations. Yet the product needed to allow for simple deployment to truly be a groundbreaking solution - increasing miner safety and changing daily operations for the better.

Joy Mining Systems
Joy equipment faces many challenges. The first is machine integration and control. The business end of the machine has a rapidly-spinning cylinder with 6-inch diamond-studded cutting teeth. It chews through rock at rates measured in tens of tons per minute. The system grinds through the rock in front, creating a rectangular mine tunnel. Hydraulic lifters support the ceiling as the machine moves forward. Automated drills and screws drive 3-ft long screws into the ceiling to stabilize it. The rock and coal fall into a set of gathering "fingers" below the cutting cylinder. These fingers scoop up the rock and coal and deposit it onto a conveyor belt. The conveyor passes under the machine and out the back. A train of conveyor belt cars, up to a mile long, follows the cutter into the mine. The rock shoots along this train at over 400 feet per minute until it empties into rail cars at the end. Current systems place an operator cage next to the cutter. Choking dust (potentially explosive), the risk of collapse and the proximity of metal and rock mayhem make the operator cage a hazardous location.
