THE CHALLENGE

  • High diesel costs powering night-time operations
  • No fixed lighting or surveillance in active mining zones
  • Zama Zama incursions threatening production and safety
  • Manual health & safety compliance and production tracking

THE SOLUTION

  • Industrial 6mm hardened-steel Titan trailers — fully autonomous
  • Solar + lithium + diesel hybrid power: 3 × 610W bifacial panels, 9.6kW / 200Ah lithium with BMS, Victron MultiPlus II 5000VA inverter, 10kVA diesel backup with auto-changeover
  • 7m pneumatic masts with 4 × 400W LED stadium floodlights (1.6kW per trailer)
  • Dragonfruit AI server onboard each trailer — Zama Zama detection, health & safety compliance and production monitoring
  • Wireless broadcast to a custom-built central tower, fully integrated into the mine control room
RESULTS

What changed

  • 20% reduction in diesel costs
  • 24/7/365 lighting and AI surveillance in active mining zones
  • Zama Zama detection and security tracking live in the control room
  • Automated H&S compliance and production monitoring
