Minera en China usa la red 5G para que sus operadores de maquinaria pesada trabajen desde sus casas

29 de agosto de 2019

Trabajadores de una mina del condado de Luanchuan, provincia china de Henan, ya no tienen necesidad de salir de la comodidad de sus hogares para llevar a cabo su complicada labor en las excavaciones.

En China no hay excusa para no trabajar desde casa gracias a la implementación de la red 5G en todas las industrias y quienes parecen haberle sacado mejor provecho son los trabajadores de una minera, ya que la usan para operar maquinaria pesada de forma remota. Sin duda, un acontecimiento que se produce en una industria que pocos creyeron sería posible, Cono más sobre este gran avance tecnológico para el que los videojuegos de simuladores nos prepararon desde hace tiempo.

La televisora estatal CCTV compartió unas fotografías donde se ve a un operador de la compañía China Molybdenum maniobrando a distancia uno de estos vehículos en la mina Sandaozhuang, ubicada en el condado de Luanchuan, provincia china de Henan, asegurando así la continuación de los trabajos en forma segura en medio de la pandemia del COVID-19.

CCTV precisó que la tecnología 5G permite a los trabajadores controlar los equipos remotamente en la mina con suma precisión gracias a la conexión de alta velocidad y baja latencia (el sueño de todo gamer). En pocas palabras, son capaces de ver en tiempo real el trabajo duro pero delicado que realizan sus contrapartes mecánicas en el sitio de la excavación.

Pero, ¿qué significa todo esto? El portal Mothership reporta que con el uso de este material que se volvió viral en las redes sociales, China mostraría su progreso con la tecnología 5G aunque sin revelar deficiencias ni las primeras etapas del despliegue de la misma. Tampoco se conoce su alcance al, por ejemplo, saber cuántos trabajadores a la vez pueden realizar el trabajo remoto.

Dos grandes en la región, Wacker Neuson y Grupo Makro, se unen en una alianza de alto impacto social en beneficio de las mujeres y hombres colombianos

(Mayo de 2018) Wacker Neuson y el Grupo Makro, inician a partir de este mes una alianza que contribuirá con incrementar las oportunidades de trabajo tanto para hombres como para mujeres colombianas, en las industrias de minería y de construcción.

Wacker Neuson, empresa alemana especialista en la fabricación y comercialización de equipo ligero y maquinaria pesada para la construcción, minería y agricultura, con presencia a nivel mundial a través de sus filiales de distribución y servicio en 35 países; y el Grupo Makro, líder en América Latina con más de 20 años de experiencia formando operadores de maquinaria pesada, unen esfuerzos en una alianza que abre camino a las poblaciones más vulnerables de Colombia. Con un marcado enfoque en el empoderamiento femenino, el Grupo Makro y Wacker Neuson están dispuestos a trabajar de la mano para capacitar a aquellas poblaciones y minorías económicamente más vulnerables, para que encuentren en el uso y manejo de maquinaria pesada, un oficio que los ayude a prosperar y les abra más oportunidades para ellos y sus familias.

Es así que el pasado mes de Abril, Wacker Neuson acompañó al Grupo Makro en su primer diplomado en manejo de equipo pesado. “Conocemos la tradición alemana en el desarrollo de equipos y maquinaria para distintos sectores, lo que nos da la seguridad y confianza que sus estándares serán los mismos y que por ende estaremos respaldados por una marca de gran calidad y alto desempeño. Tenemos la certeza de que esta alianza traerá grandes frutos y resultados a ambas marcas, así como a la sociedad colombiana” refiere el sr. Julio Vallejo, Gerente Regional del Grupo Makro. Por su parte, el sr. Juan José Rodriguez, Gerente General de Wacker Neuson en Colombia, mencionó “una alianza con Grupo Makro significa aportar un grano de arena para el desarrollo del país, saber que muchos colombianos y colombianas utilizarán nuestros equipos como herramienta para su desarrollo profesional nos llena de mucha alegría y satisfacción”.

Hasta el momento el Grupo Makro ha logrado capacitar en sus aulas a más de 8 mil personas en la región, logrando que solo en Perú ya se cuente con una participación de mujeres operadoras de maquinaria pesada, equivalente al 27% del total de operadores a nivel nacional. Wacker Neuson está comprometido con este objetivo en pro de seguir brindando más oportunidades de superación y crecimiento a poblaciones que hoy en día no participan en la actividad económica de la región.

Seis de cada diez personas que se capacitan para manejar maquinaria pesada son mujeres

28 de Abril de 2018

El manejo de maquinaria pesada no es cosa de  hombres, pues esta es  una alternativa que cada vez están escogiendo las mujeres. Se calcula que 6 de cada 10 personas que se capacitan para ejercer este oficio son del género femenino, según lo señaló Julio Vallejo, Gerente Regional de Grupo Makro.

Por lo anterior el El Grupo Makro en alianza con universidad Gran Colombia lanzó el primer diplomado que otorga una certificación internacional en manejo de equipo pesado para construcción y minería.

“De los alumnos que han pasado por nuestras escuelas en nuestros 20 años de experiencia, un 60% han sido mujeres. Contrario a lo que muchos pensarían, a ellas les va muy bien en esta área, les gusta estudiar, tienen disciplina, mejor motricidad fina, identificación de riesgos y responsabilidad”dijo Vallejo.

Según el experto tener un certificado internacional en manejo de maquinaria pesada garantiza a las mujeres  seguridad, salud e integridad y además les abre puertas a excelentes oportunidades laborales.

“Ellas le apuestan a entrenarse de manera formal en dicha labor por la seguridad que esto representa, ya que ser operadora de maquinaria pesada es un oficio que sin excepción requiere una preparación teórica y práctica” añadió.

El gerente del grupo Makro advirtió que en Colombia, un alto porcentaje de las personas que maneja maquinaria pesada lo hace de forma empírica, lo que genera un alto riesgo .

“Sin la capacitación adecuada la persona no tiene ni siquiera la habilidad de reconocer las situaciones de peligro y tampoco sabe cómo reaccionar de forma correcta ante ellas. Los peligros de manejar maquinaria pesada sin tener un entrenamiento certificado  van desde el daño de la máquina, altos costos por reparaciones y repuestos, días perdidos de alquiler y retraso de la obra, hasta accidentes que comprometen la integridad y la vida del trabajador y las de sus compañeros” puntualizó.

JCB launches industry's first hydrogen-powered excavator to market

01 June 2020

JCB has developed the construction industry’s first hydrogen excavator and continues to lead the sector’s development of zero- and low-carbon technologies, the company announced today.

The 20-ton 220X excavator powered by a hydrogen fuel cell has been undergoing rigorous testing in JCB’s quarry field for more than 12 months. This exciting development makes the brand the first construction equipment company in the world to present a working prototype of an excavator powered by this method.

JCB chairman Lord Bamford said, “The development of the first hydrogen excavator is very exciting in this process of building a zero-carbon future. In the coming months, JCB will continue to develop and refine this technology with advanced testing of our prototype machine and we will continue to be at the forefront of technologies designed to build a zero-carbon future.”

Lord Bamford’s son, Jo Bamford, spent 14 years at JCB before moving into the hydrogen sector, founding Ryse Hydroge. Jo added: “I truly believe hydrogen is the best opportunity to build a world-leading industry that creates jobs, reduces emissions and is the envy of the world.”

Power for the prototype excavator is generated by reacting hydrogen with oxygen in a fuel cell to create the energy needed to run the electric motors. The only exhaust emission is water.

The development comes after JCB made history last year by launching the construction industry’s first all-electric mini excavator, the 19C-1E.

In addition, it has also extended electric technology to its innovative Teletruk telehandler range with the launch of an electric model, the JCB 30-19E.

Through constant innovation and design improvements, it has led the way in clean diesel technology to meet EU Stage V emissions regulations and has all but eradicated the most harmful emissions from its latest range of diesel engines.

Nitrous oxide (NOx) decreased by 97% soot particles decreased by 98% and carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions decreased by almost half.

Conexpo 2020: Caterpillar introduces CAT Command

May 07, 2020

We visited the Caterpillar booth where a whole range of technological solutions were presented, including CAT COMMAND, a remote-controlled long-distance operation system for heavy machinery.

To learn more we interviewed Fred Rio, Product Manager of Technologies at Caterpillar, who explains how an operator sitting in the CAT booth in Las Vegas can operate machinery located in North Carolina, thousands of miles away. “The user, via a mounted remote control station, can connect with up to 5 different machines. Each piece of equipment can be a different size and weight.”

Now operators can be in a comfortable and safe environment, without exposure to jobsite hazards. “CAT Command is very useful for performing work in environments that may have exposure to chemicals that are hazardous to the operator’s health or that may present a natural hazard, such as a high wall or less pleasant environments, such as waste treatment” explains Fred.

With respect to manpower, Fred Rio tells us “we can say that there is an optimization of human resources, since the utilization of human capital is much higher and wider. A great advantage of CAT Command is the possibility of employing a different workforce, for example people with physical problems that prevent them from moving to the machine, people who cannot stand the vibration of the equipment, elderly people”.

Another advantage of this technology is to be able to be much more aggressive with the application of the machine and take greater risks in its use, since we do not have an operator inside the equipment. This allows us to change the processes to carry out work much more quickly.

It is estimated that between July and the end of this year this technology will be available for Front Loaders (926, 930 and 938) and medium excavators of the Next Gen series (through the installation of a Kit). Starting in 2021, CAT Command will be available for D5, D6 and D7 Bulldozers.

CASE launches world's first all-electric backhoe loader

June 08, 2020

At CONEXPO 2020, CASE Construction Equipment launched the construction industry’s first all-electric backhoe loader. The 580 EV (Electric Vehicle) prototype, dubbed Project Zeus, offers the same power and performance as a diesel-powered CASE backhoe loader, but with zero emissions and significantly reduced operating costs. Two machines have already been sold to U.S.-based utilities and it is planned that this model will remain exclusive to the North American market.

“Since CASE designed the first fully factory-assembled backhoe loader in 1957, it has remained at the forefront of backhoe loader innovation,” said Egidio Galano, Product Manager, Compact Range, CASE Construction Equipment Europe. “The 580 EV continues this evolution and demonstrates with a significant step forward CASE’s broad commitment to a future of sustainability in construction machinery.” With the production of this prototype machine, the electrification of heavy construction equipment in the North American market becomes increasingly viable.”

The 580 EV is powered by a 480-volt, 90-kilowatt-hour lithium-ion battery. It charges via any 220-volt/three-phase connection and has an operating time of about eight hours, depending on the application. Because this battery powers the power train and hydraulic motors separately, starting force is the same as a diesel-powered machine and overall performance is improved during simultaneous operation of the loader and power train.

While drastically reducing companies’ carbon footprint, it is estimated that, with the 580 EV, fleets can save up to 90% in machine operating costs by reducing or eliminating diesel, engine oil, AdBlue and long-term engine maintenance costs. In addition, the 580 EV integrates the CASE SiteWatch™ solution as standard.

All this is achieved without prejudice to the distinctive features operators expect from a CASE backhoe loader, as Galano explains: “The 580 EV operates and handles exactly like a traditional CASE backhoe loader. This is crucial when it comes to integrating cutting-edge technologies into any of CASE’s machines and means operators have the same digging and lifting capabilities in a much quieter, emission-free work environment.”

As for ProjectTETRA, the prototype methane-powered tire loader launched at bauma 2019, CASE has enlisted Michelin for the tires on the 580 EV. The Michelin CrossGrip tires used on this prototype machine feature a non-directional tread design, resulting in exceptional handling, comfort and load capacity on surfaces ranging from asphalt to snow.

The 580 EV marks CASE’s official debut in the electric construction equipment market. In partnership with sister company FPT Industrial, CASE will continue to research electrification and alternative fuel options that make a sustainable construction machinery future possible.

JCB machinery firm to manufacture parts for respirators

JCB machinery firm to manufacture parts for respirators

01 June 2020

Faced with the crisis generated by the advance of COVID-19, after the closure of all factories, the global company JCB joins the emergency challenge and will collaborate in the manufacture of parts for respirators. Thus, it is now ready to restart production, this time in a different area, but with the commitment to join the effort in the fight against the coronavirus. This was announced in a press release on Monday, March 30.

The document states that the company will restart production in the cab factory that was closed for almost two weeks and now instead of manufacturing cabs for excavators, the plant was adapted to make special steel structures for a new fan design of the Dyson line, in which a minimum of 10,000 JCB structures are destined to be manufactured, once the brand receives regulatory approval for its design.

The first prototypes were delivered to Dyson after coming off the production line at Cab Systems’ factory in Uttoxeter, Staffordshire. Manufacturing at the plant was temporarily suspended on March 18, along with eight other JCB UK manufacturing plants, in the wake of the health crisis, but the good news is that mass production of these respirator structures could begin within days.

Commenting on this, company chairman Lord Bamford said, “When the Prime Minister approached us, we were determined to help in any way we could. This project has gone from design to production in a matter of days and I am delighted that we have been able to deploy the skills of our talented engineering, design and manufacturing teams so quickly at a time of national crisis.”

HELPING TO SAVE LIVES

He made this statement after receiving a direct call from British Prime Minister Boris Johnson earlier this month to help respond to the shortage of ventilators and thus save lives of patients infected with COVID-19.

So Bamford promised to help, immediately mobilizing the company’s research and engineering team to examine possible ways to provide support and, given that this is a global crisis, they will naturally help with the production of more structures if other countries eventually require the ventilators, he said.

JCB’s response to the call for the development of these respirator components would be the return to work of some 50 employees affected by a prolonged company shutdown, which was announced last week, as the company suspended production at its nine UK plants until at least the end of April.
