Introduction
• Ventilation systems in metal mines could be
responsible for 40% - 60% of the energy
consumption in the mines.

Challenges during the implementation
The trial
8
• Network communication error
– Between access point and the sensor unit
– Wi-Fi was measured in four different points
• Location of the sensor unit
– 90 m
• Ducting leakage
– Made the airflow very low at the face
• Level of manual mode during operation
– The communication between operator area and planning
– Especially during night shifts and weekends

Conclusions and recommendation
Trial Serra Grande and Epiroc
13
• Level of automatic / manual mode: impact in reduction of power consumption
– Week 6 , reach 13% → 50% manual, 50% automatic
– Week 18, reach 47% → 2% manual, 98% automatic
• Provides the ability to measure and monitor air supply
• Training for the operators
• Internal and continuous communication within the team
• The information can be used for ventilation - / audits reports
• Opportunity to analyze the effectiveness of the system and the operations
United. Inspired.
Performance unites us, innovation inspires us,
and commitment drives us to keep moving forward.
