The campus network will be the basis for new applications in the mining industry.

Hellinikon Chrysos, in the context of its digital transformation and based on the principles of responsible mining, constantly invests in cutting-edge technologies and applications that lead Kassandra Mines into a new era, while at the same time contributing to the digital transformation of the Greek mining industry as a whole.

Recently, in Greek gold in collaboration with Spaceproceeded to install the first campus network in Greece in the Olympias underground mine.a unique data project for Greece, the main purpose of which is to improve safety, as well as to optimize the production activities of the mine as a whole.

This is a particularly complex and technologically complex project, the only one in the country in terms of depth 300 m undergroundwhich covers arcade about 10 km. This innovative technology solution is expected to open up important new opportunities for Kassandra Mines as it provides both the network coverage and the necessary power required to develop new digital applications for the daily operation of the mine, making on the one hand improving the level of safety a top priority. task for the company, and on the other hand, conditions are created for the complete digitization of individual mine operations.

More precisely, using specially designed tablets, this is done more direct communication between underground workers and operators of vehicles and machines, with their counterparts on the surface and in particular with the modern Control Center, which takes over the supervision and coordination of all operations. Beside, production time increasessince shifts, production and fleet management are organized more efficiently, while at the same time, critical operational data is transmitted in real time, such as the weight and type of ore when loading, possible machine breakdowns, etc.

In addition, through suitable sensors that measure the concentration of particles or hazardous gases in the atmosphere (gas monitoring), the Control Center will have the ability to remotely adjust air supply and quality (ventilation on demand) or even proactively remove workers if deemed necessary, protecting them.

It’s in the company’s plans. its further use campus net With development of new applications as well as technology enabling functions such as remote mining, remote loading control, vehicle telemetry and vehicle collision avoidance systems creating conditions for a high level of safety, but also for optimal performance.

Greek Gold recently implemented another advanced technological system safety, Electronic system for the safe operation of mines (UG Safety Monitoring System), which provides real-time information on the number of workers in each section of the mine, as well as other important information in case of an emergency. This is a critical technology that further improves the safety of an underground mine and invests in protecting human life.
