Value Pillars Safety Managing Operator Behavior Industry Leaders in Compliance Service and Support Technology Enhance mine site safety. Workplace injuries are unacceptable, and with the CAS suite of solutions they can be preventable. Technological advancements have led to fundamental changes on the ground, and the developing world s need for resources has impacted the industry greatly. But the very real risks associated with mining remain. CAS is an integrated risk management system for mines. A sophisticated operator s aid that allows for enhanced situational and proximity awareness, CAS improves safety on site by reducing risks. Proven in open cut and underground environments, CAS allows for detection around corners, through strata and, importantly, between people, vehicles, and infrastructure. Specifically, CAS is effective in reducing the incidence of collisions between: Monitor and correct unsafe operator practices with CAS. CAS offers mining companies the technology to manage operator behavior with effective reporting tools that improve safety culture and compliance. This represents a highly cost-effective way of avoiding disruptions and productivity losses. In addition to being a leading safety system, CAS is also a valuable reporting tool. The system allows mine site personnel to monitor key statistics regarding vehicle interactions and near misses, providing site and corporate personnel with valuable insights into on-site safety as well as data that may be used to improve individual operator behavior. CAS is an original equipment manufacturer (OEM)-independent system, which allows for easy site integration. It is adaptable, meaning Set new standards in workplace safety and compliance. Death and injury through workplace collisions are unacceptable and can be prevented. At GE Mining, we believe that workplace safety is not simply a matter of checking off boxes; it is good business practice. To that end, we are matching the commitment shown by our clients to workplace safety by investing in technologies that improve on-site safety. CAS is one of the most sophisticated collision avoidance systems available today. It offers the mining industry a unique opportunity to improve on-site safety and demonstrate their safety credentials to employees, clients, and the regulatory bodies. Ensure year-round reliability. With GE's Digital Mining service and support team at your disposal, you can ensure that CAS runs seamlessly all year. With unsurpassed service and support, we'll keep your system in excellent condition. Available for site call outs, our technicians and software engineers work behind-the-scenes so that the system is upgraded as necessary. Our CAS service offering includes help desk support, on-site maintenance, service level agreements, end-user training, remote equipment monitoring, and data analytics. Provide advanced collision avoidance technology. Embodying the spirit of Thomas Edison who famously said, I find out what the world needs, then I proceed to invent it, GE's Digital Mining produces technology-driven solutions for mine sites around the world. We employ sophisticated GPS technology for surface operations, radio communications, blind spot cameras, proximity sensing, and smart two-way proximity alerts that function in real time.
