We do the heavy lifting. CORE5’s team will work with you to develop your challenge abstract, budget, and resource requirements. We then leverage our global network to identify and engage relevant tech companies that can solve your challenges. At the end, you will have a fully built Proof-of-Concept that can be deployed at the NORCAT Underground Centre or within your mining operations.
Past Challenges
NORCAT and Vale partnered to solve three operational challenges – increasing both productivity and safety.
Acid Train Car Loading
Smelter/sulphuric acid is a common chemical by-product of the smelting process. Given the risks associated with human exposure, we look to identify a technology solution that can ultimately remove the worker from harm's way.
Operator Alertness
Underground operator alertness is of utmost importance to ensure the safety of all mineworkers. We look to identify a technology solution that can assess and monitor underground equipment operators with the intent of identifying and resolving cognitive impairments, fatigue and/or distracting behaviour.
Inrush of Material
Uncontrolled water in an underground mining environment can be a significant hazard. We look to identify a technology solution that can both identify and mitigate the conditions that lead to the risk of the run of material.
