CAS implementation consulting
End-to-end engineering support for CAS-9 implementation: assess the mine and fleet, test and select technology, plan delivery, commission well, and support operational adoption and maintenance.
Plan the risk. Prove the system. Validate the intervention.
A collision-avoidance system works when site controls, detection and machine response are engineered together. We help clients align all three with their operation and OEMs.
Plan the interaction
Separate people and machines by design, before technology has to step in.
- Traffic management plans
- Intersection and haul-road rules
- SOPs, IBRAs and risk assessments
Detect the conflict
Select, configure and tune proximity detection so warnings arrive in time — and operators believe them.
- System selection and zone design
- Nuisance-alarm reduction
- ISO 21815 alignment
Control the machine
Integrate Level 9 intervention with each machine OEM and prove it slows and stops as designed.
- OEM interface integration
- Slow-down and stop validation
- Commissioning test packs
From assessment to operational support.
We can support a full CAS implementation or step in at the stage where you need us.
- 01
Assess the operation
Build a clear picture of mine conditions and the current safety controls.
- Mine and traffic plans
- Fleet, OEMs and existing CAS
- 02
Run a POC
Test candidate systems in site conditions with user-acceptance testing (UAT).
- Compare technologies and OEMs
- Support an informed selection
- 03
Assess risk in depth
Examine vehicle interactions, exposure and control gaps across the operation.
- Document significant risks
- Connect findings to controls
- 04
Scope and plan
Set the project up clearly before delivery begins.
- Define requirements and boundaries
- Establish initial contracts and acceptance criteria
- 05
Manage the project
Advise on delivery that limits production disruption and keeps progress visible.
- Waterfall and agile approaches
- PMP-qualified project support
- 06
Commission correctly
Support a structured handover with evidence that the installed system works as intended.
- Functional and acceptance testing
- Commissioning and compliance records
- 07
Manage the change
Help operators, maintenance teams and leaders adopt the system at a workable pace.
- SOPs, training and continuous monitoring
- Address behaviour and site culture
- 08
Monitor performance
Track CAS effectiveness and operational impact after go-live.
- Review system and intervention data
- Reduce avoidable production impact
- 09
Support maintenance
Keep the system and its supporting processes effective over time.
- Monitor faults and maintenance
- Support effective ongoing operations
Independent audits and investigations are separate post-implementation services. They are not part of the implementation lifecycle.
Four parties. One working system.
A Level 9 project succeeds only when the mine, the machine OEM, the detection supplier and the intervention provider agree on how it should behave. We have managed projects between all four — and we speak each one’s language.
Technology changes. People decide if it works.
Our change management draws on neuroscience and communications, so operators understand why the system intervenes — and trust it when it does.
SOPs that get used
Written with the crews who follow them.
Adoption, measured
Training and feedback loops that last past go-live.
