Bosch Rexroth Africa made its first appearance at this year’s Investing in African Mining Indaba in conjunction with Bosch Rexroth companies Hägglunds Drives and Smart Mine. The theme of the stand was ‘We’re closer than you think’ and it focused on the ways that Bosch Rexroth Africa can assist customers with taking African mining and automation to new heights.
Smart Mine showed how mining operations can be optimised through its range of state-of-the-art solutions – Smart Inspection, Start/Stop Retrofit, Smart Lockout, and Smart Conveyor. Smart Inspection offers optimal support during onsite and offsite inspection and maintenance processes through the use of digital devices. The Stop/Start Retrofit system can reduce CO2 levels by automatically shutting down vehicle engines during operational waiting periods. This reduces fuel consumption and emissions, while increasing the engine life of construction fleets.
With global supply chains experiencing constraints, Smart Mine aims to boost the productivity of African mines with its Smart Lockout and Smart Conveyor solutions that reduce downtime through automation and digitalisation. They enhance safety, increase asset availability and productivity, and assist customers with reaching their ESG goals.
On the hardware side, Hägglunds Drives South Africa showcased Fusion – its most compact hydraulic drive yet. The motor provides unbeatable torque across a range of low power applications, while increasing productivity for apron feeders, belt feeders and infeed conveyors. This modular solution is not only durable, reliable, space- and cost-saving, but also highly flexible, ensuring that it remains efficient for clients and meets their expectations.
