📢Webinar: Launching the GMG Framework for Safe Mixed Fleet Operations Underground📢 A Path Toward Coexistence of Autonomous and Operator-Driven Equipment Underground mines are on the verge of a major shift – one where #autonomous and operator-driven equipment, and human workers, must safely and efficiently share the same space. Right now, they can’t. Current safety systems do not support mixed traffic environments underground, creating a limit on the integration of autonomous mobile equipment. To realize the full safety, productivity, and workforce benefits of autonomy, the industry must move beyond isolated zones to truly collaborative operations. This is one of the most critical challenges facing underground mining today and GMG is launching a new framework to tackle it. Join us for this webinar introducing the GMG Framework for Safe Mixed Fleet Operations Underground Mining. This new, multi-part project aims to build the foundation for enabling the safe, interoperable coexistence of automated and operator-controlled equipment alongside personnel underground. You’ll learn: 🦺Why the current inability to mix autonomous and operator-driven traffic underground is a major bottleneck for mining innovation. 🦺The vision behind the framework and how it builds on GMG’s system safety work. 🦺The real-world implications for mine safety, productivity, and operational flexibility if we solve this challenge. 🦺The structure of the project and upcoming white papers on Theoretical Foundations, Technical Implementation, Industry Application, and Building an Open Ecosystem. This is your opportunity to get involved at the ground level of a game-changing industry collaboration! Date: April 23, 2025 🔗Register https://lnkd.in/grVsHDBr #mining #UndergroundMining #autonomous
