Collision avoidance safety solutions for mine sites and quarries

Aptella introduces intelligent anti-collision technology designed to increase safety for heavy machinery operation without reliance on tags or identifiers.

Automation and positioning specialist, Aptella, have entered a distribution agreement with Torsa to supply and support advanced collision avoidance solutions for the mining and quarrying industries throughout Australia, New Zealand and Southeast Asia.

With a proven track-record in mine and quarry sites around the world, Torsa's safety solutions are designed to perform at the highest standards to reduce risk and safeguard heavy machine operations.

Aptella CEO Martin Nix said prioritising safety was the lead value at Aptella and of equal importance to any customer that works with heavy machinery.

"As we continue to seek the best innovation from around the world, we are excited to bring this advanced solution from Torsa to our local customers," he said.

Torsa collaborates with peak industry bodies to remain at the forefront of regulation and safety standards, including the International Council on Mining and Metals (ICMM) and the Innovation for Cleaner Safer Vehicles (ICSV) program.

The ICSV program brings together 27 of the world's leading mining companies, machine and technology manufacturers, to accelerate heavy machinery development in a noncompetitive forum.
