Hexagon and MMG Install Operator Alertness System at Rosebery

Hexagon has partnered with MMG to deploy the HxGN MineProtect Operator Alertness System (OAS) on 11 underground mining trucks at their Rosebery mine in Tasmania, Australia.

MMG wanted a solution that would help detect fatigue in their operators while being reliable in a complex underground environment. HxGN MineProtect OAS works in both light and dark conditions to provide real-time notifications to operators, empowering them to act should they experience fatigue or distraction.

Rosebery mine General Manager Steve Scott said MMG continues to look at new and innovative ways to enhance safety across the mine site.

"Our number one value is we always think safety first, and nothing is more important than ensuring all our people go home safely at the end of each day," he said.

"The deployment of our OAS is already providing valuable data for their operation and making a difference in the safety of MMG's workers. We look forward to continued partnership towards their long-term success," said Simon Stone, Vice President, APAC, Hexagon's Mining division.
