PAT Level 9
Notwithstanding all the efforts to ensure a segregated work environment, human error will inevitably result in machines interacting with each other and with pedestrians on your site.
The solution: our PAT Collision Prevention System, an end-to-end Level 9 (L9) solution that complies with South African legislation in regulation 8 of the MHSA and is ISO 21815-compliant. This L9 solution is part of the PAT ecosystem that includes, amongst others, a Level 8 option, access control for machines and pedestrians, the PAT MI machine controller interface, various visitor solutions, and the Pedestrian Tag Unit (PTU).
Description
Elevate your site’s safety and efficiency with a system that is as advanced as your operations:
- L9-Ready operation: Fully compliant and operational at L9 since 2019.
- Advanced GIS integration: A comprehensive GIS background layer enhances both safety and productivity by providing precise spatial awareness.
- Seamless connectivity to the Mine Safe TrackPro system: All machines are interconnected through a mesh radio network, facilitating real-time data transmission to our Back Office for continuous monitoring.
- Intelligent linear dynamic zoning: Ensures safety at all speeds and traffic scenarios, adapting dynamically to different conditions.
- Numerous geofence options: Equipped with geofence capabilities for proactive site management and safety oversight.
- Continuous diagnostics: Continuous self-diagnostics and health checks, with real-time access to control capability.
- PAT live violation reporting: Enables proactive safety management with live updates and near real-time alerts of incidents and incident trends that have the most influence on the immediate status of the safety environment on site.
- Data analysis application: Included in the numerous reporting capabilities, is a playback function that facilitates effective incident analysis.
- Configurable parameters: All operating parameters are configurable to fit specific site needs and optimize system performance.
- Innovative optional features: Biometric key control, electronic tick lists, and fatigue management integration for secure and effective operational oversight.
- Effortless installation: Plug-and-play setup with strain-relief and tamper-proof design.
- Loading Mode and pairing with Pedestrian Units (PTUs): Nuisance alarms are avoided during operations and specifically while loading to ensure that safety alerts are only triggered when necessary, reducing false positives.
- User-friendly interface: Instructive and advisory voice audio and visual user interfaces ensure effective warning to operators.
- Legacy machine integration: Integrate with legacy machines via any machine interface, protocol, or I/O configuration.
- EMI and ICASA certified: Meets the required regulatory and technical standards for use in South Africa.
- IP65 and IP66 certified: All PAT systems and components have passed ingress protection testing to ensure a rugged and reliable product that has been designed for the mining environment.
