Redpath Australia<\/strong> has selected RCT<\/strong>, a company specializing in autonomous solutions, as its technology partner at Silver Lake Resources\u2019<\/strong> development-stage Rothsay underground gold project.<\/p>\n

RCT will install its ControlMaster guidance automation technology, which features the company\u2019s latest Auto Dump feature, onto three\u00a0Sandvik<\/strong>\u00a0LH203 underground loaders envisioned for the planned narrow-vein underground mine. <\/p>\n

The company will also install two ControlMaster automation centres, featuring Multiple Machine Control (MMC) capabilities, to provide machine operators with the ability to manage the loader fleet from either facilities on surface or work zones within the mine.<\/p>\n

\u201cGuidance Automation with MMC is an ideal solution for this site, as it will allow Redpath to leverage from RCT\u2019s latest digital and automation features, increase productivity of their operators and loader fleet, all whilst reducing damage associated with remote production when operating in very narrow drives,\u201d Scott Phillips, RCT\u2019s mining account manager, said in a release. <\/p>\n

\u201cThe plan to utilize RCT\u2019s Surface Control Solution will allow Redpath to stay productive and capture the lost time during shift change and firing usually associated with underground remoting.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAutomation is an important innovation component of our business as it allows productivity to remain consistent across shift change and firing,\u201d added Gavin Ramage, managing director of Redpath Australia. \u201cThe adoption of emerging technology such as this reinforces our commitment towards the implementation of our \u2018technology roadmap\u2019 over the next three years.\u201d<\/p>\n
