ADS20 Autonomous Drill Systems - Fundamentals
ADS Fundamentals focuses on all the stakeholders involved in the entire operations process, from Bench Prep and Pattern Design to Inspection, sign-off, and acceptance.
Enrollment in this course is by invitation only
Prior to commencement of autonomous drilling, the bench needs to be prepared in such a way that safe and uninterrupted operations can take place. Several processes are conducted in sequence, leading to a completed autonomous drilling bench. Each process must be completed to industry and site-specific standards before subsequent processes can be started.
This course aligns with the operational requirements of modern mining organizations implementing autonomous drilling technologies.
Graduates of this course are equipped with foundational competencies relevant to autonomous drilling roles within large-scale mining operations.
