Sandvik Mining and Construction has signed a contract to deliver three AutoMine-Lite automation systems and two Sandvik LH517 loaders with Boliden Mineral AB’s Garpenberg mine. Two of the AutoMine-Lite™ control stations will be mobile and located in the vans and one control station will be mounted in an office location. AutoMine-Lite is an advanced alternative for teleremote and radio remote control systems. AutoMine-Lite is based on the proven AutoMine® core technology and is available for vast range of the Sandvik loaders. The system installations, to start in late 2010, are scheduled to be completed for full production in the early 2011. In addition, the agreement includes a supervisor contract for the automation system with on site and remote support.
