sensmore

If you are gearing up for your last set of Formula Student competitions this summer, then check out the work we do at sensmore! sensmore is the closest thing to Formula Student I've found, so no wonder many of us are former competitors. We're looking for more people to join our robotics team and help automate some of the largest machines in the world. If that sounds fun, then check out our careers page at sensmore.ai/careers. P.S. I'll be at Formula Student UK this Saturday if you want to chat more about sensmore!

French underground equipment maker ARAMINE and German "intelligent machine" maker sensmore have collaborated to turn a battery-electric loader into a fully-autonomous machine. Read more: https://lnkd.in/gigTi9Ps

Transformer une machine d’extraction souterraine en système autonome : c’est exactement ce que démontre ce projet mené avec sensmore et Cemex. Au centre : le L140B, notre chargeuse électrique à batteries de 1.3 t, conçue pour les environnements souterrains les plus exigeants, désormais équipée de la technologie d’autonomie développée par sensmore. Grâce à une intégration avancée entre intelligence artificielle et systèmes embarqués, la machine charge, transporte et déverse de manière autonome dans des conditions réelles d’exploitation, avec une supervision à distance. Le résultat est concret : la machine peut désormais opérer jusqu’à 8 heures en mode autonome, contre environ 5 heures en conduite humaine. Une amélioration significative de la continuité des opérations, qui se traduit par un gain de productivité tout en renforçant la sécurité des opérateurs, moins exposés aux zones à risque. Nous sommes fiers de cette démonstration de notre capacité à transformer des machines robustes en plateformes intelligentes, au service d’une exploitation minière plus performante, plus sûre et plus durable.

Aramine & sensmore launch autonomous Aramac L140B underground LHD ARAMINE and sensmore are introducing an automated #Aramine L140B Loader into underground production at the Cemex Rüdersdorf limestone operation in Germany, turning a proven underground machine into an autonomous production system for real operating conditions. The statement said: “As Europe seeks to secure access to critical raw materials, underground extraction must become safer, more efficient, and less dependent on scarce skilled labour. #Autonomous machines offer a practical path to achieving these goals while reducing operator exposure to demanding underground environments.” “The next step is to take raw materials under our feet, under our ground, in Europe, and not on the other side of the world. For that, we are not going to send people underground, but we are going to send machines that are capable to do it by themselves,” said Marc Melkonian, Co-President at Aramine. Aramine provides the #L140B Loader, a battery-powered machine launched in 2016 to bring new technology into underground mining and designed with the openness required for autonomous control. Featuring a 1.3 t payload and engineered specifically for narrow-vein mining, the L140B combines productivity, manoeuvrability & operational flexibility in confined underground environments. Operating with zero local CO₂ emissions, it supports safer & cleaner mining environments while enabling the transition toward autonomous production. As automation system provider, sensmore turns the L140B into an autonomous production machine. It integrates the automation stack, safety architecture, machine control & operational interfaces required for production use, making the automated loader work as part of the underground production environment around it. At Cemex, sensmore connected the automated L140B to the full underground production process: machine control, conveyor belt, functional safety systems, network infrastructure, operational interfaces, and production flow. “Autonomy in heavy industry only creates real value when it is vertically integrated into the production environment,” said Maximilian Rolf, CEO and Co-Founder of sensmore. “At Cemex, we are integrating the Aramine L140B into the entire underground process.” “Implementing this system is a major milestone for us. It helps improve productivity, reduces operator exposure to underground risks, and supports our journey toward safer and lower-emission mining operations,” said Christian Zinnecker, Coordinator Underground Operations, Extraction & Blasting at Cemex. The automated L140B can operate autonomously for up to eight hours, compared with around five hours in manned mode. This translates into greater machine availability, fewer repetitive tasks for operators, and a safer underground working environment. #theelectricmine #futureofmining #undergroundautonomy

“𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗶𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗱𝗮𝗶𝗹𝘆 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻.” Together, Cemex and sensmore have stepped into the future of autonomous raw material operations at Cemex‘s historic Rüdersdorf site. For more than 770 years, Rüdersdorf helped build Berlin. Today, it is running automated underground production daily, vertically integrated into Cemex’s production environment. This milestone is the result of a multi-year partnership between Cemex and sensmore. We couldn’t be prouder or more grateful for the hard work and outstanding collaboration. It is only the beginning. The future of self-operating raw material sites is here now. Sound on! Team sensmore

Wie sieht der Tagebau der Zukunft aus? In Rüdersdorf wird er bereits Realität. Gemeinsam mit sensmore treibt Cemex die digitale und automatisierte Transformation eines der traditionsreichsten Rohstoffstandorte Europas voran. Nach mehr als 770 Jahren Industriegeschichte macht der Cemex-Tagebau in Rüdersdorf den nächsten Schritt: vom intelligent unterstützten Maschinenbetrieb über datengestützte Site Intelligence hin zu autonomen Produktionsprozessen unter Tage. Im Mittelpunkt steht ein automatisierter Aramine L140B LHD, der mit dem sensmore-Automatisierungssystem ausgestattet und vertikal in die Produktionsumgebung integriert ist. Unter Tage übernimmt die Maschine autonome Abraumzyklen – vom Fahren über das Beladen und Transportieren bis zum Abladen auf das Fördersystem. Das Ziel: Prozesse sicherer, produktiver und digitaler gestalten – und gleichzeitig die Menschen im anspruchsvollen Untertagebetrieb bestmöglich unterstützen. Denn Automatisierung ist für uns kein Selbstzweck, sondern ein wichtiger Baustein für mehr Gesundheit und Sicherheit, operative Exzellenz und zukunftsfähige Rohstoffgewinnung. Rüdersdorf zeigt: Industriegeschichte und industrielle Zukunft können an einem Ort zusammenkommen.
