iPosition serves as indurad’s comprehensive platform solution for enhancing safety, positioning accuracy, and automation in mobile continuous mining equipment, including in-pit crushing and conveying systems, leach pad automation systems, and more.
The solution is carefully designed to concurrently improve both safety and productivity, achieved through the integration of various sensor technologies, including 2D radar sensors, RTLS and GPS.
By fusing these three distinct technologies, a 2oo3 fail operation mode is achieved, boasting an impressive availability rate of 99.9%.
With successful installations across Mongolia, Brazil, Germany, and Chile, the system consistently demonstrates its effectiveness and reliability. Notably, certain systems in Germany have been in continuous operation for more than a decade.
indurad uses inhouse expertise in radar, GNSS and RTLS technology to provide probably the most advanced IPCC automation kit to the market.
indurad stands as the sole supplier providing both greenfield and brownfield automation solutions for IPCC equipment, utilizing an innovative combination of 2D radar, RTLS, and GNSSsystems.
This powerful blend of technologies ensures dependable and precise positioning, not only whenthe equipment is in close proximity but also during alignment or movement.
Moreover, the solution offers robust collision avoidance capabilities, enhancing safety and efficiency in the process.

“We started with indurad´s 2D radar on the suspended hopper cars and based on the high availability of the manless-automation mode we have been rolling out the concept on the travelling hopper cars and on the spreader side where we replaced existing laser solutions providing now a better machine availability.
Finally, we reduced wear on the machinery as of reducing steering commands of about 20%”

Steel plant Stockyard Homogenization
indurad has provided Posco Pohang in Korea with both a 3D Stockpile scanning, Stacker Automation and 4D Quality and blending model.
Automatic Block Cutting on Crawler Bucket Wheel Excavator: A multifunctional solution for the world’s largest bucket wheel excavator (240.000m³/day).
The indurad solution provides collision avoidance data and detects any object on either side of the bucket wheel.
At the same time, the system provides cutting depth control and thus increase the productivity of the machine.
indurad proved in a benchmarking field test – comparing indurad radar sensors against a leading industrial laser scanner – that, the standard deviation between radar and laser was only 0.03m, respectively. RWE considers the accuracy of indurad’s radars equal to that of laser sensors. RWE choose to install indurad because of the significantly higher availability offered by radar’s reliable performance under adverse conditions.
