DustRover

Vehicle-mounted dust monitoring on the move for mining & urban applications

Whether it’s deep in a mine pit or on a city construction site, excessive dust levels pose a rising challenge to the health and safety of your workers and nearby communities. Monitoring this constantly shifting particulate matter is critical for both operational compliance and wellbeing. The key question remains – if dust is dynamic, why should dust monitoring be static?

Go from precise data to faster decision making

Acoem DustRover™ heralds a new direction in dust monitoring — a vehicle-mounted, next-generation mobile dust monitoring system that tracks dust on the move.

Based on a smart technology platform with an integrated ecosystem of sensors, its simple “mount & go” configuration delivers the freedom to monitor, measure and mitigate dust on site, while enabling data-driven decisions.

DustRover™ goes beyond unlocking actionable data insights. It adds further value by supporting regulatory compliance and delivering health and safety goals for mine employees and local communities while ensuring cost-efficiency.

Dust monitoring on the move

DustRover’s™ simple “mount & go” configuration delivers the freedom to monitor, measure and mitigate dust on site, while enabling data-driven decisions. It comprises of an integrated network of components that work together to monitor, measure, analyse and alert users of changes in environmental conditions during above-ground transportation operations. Its compact size and durability allow easy installation on haul trucks, or other mobile vehicles, to monitor ambient dust levels and environmental parameters across mining as well as urban environments vehicle fleets of all sizes.

Real-time dust traffic data on a browser-based dashboard

Designed using insights from decades of experience working with the mining industry, DustRover™ gives users a holistic view of mine site conditions and enhances situational awareness.

Its compact ecosystem features programmable sensors, dust monitors, GPS module, data logger and 3G/4G cellular router mounted onto a mining haul truck or other vehicle. This mobile telemetric system tracks variations in dust concentration along with road surface temperature and processes it through Acoem Airodis™ software.

The result is a real-time roadmap of dust traffic displayed on an intuitive and secure browser-based dashboard you can view on a workstation screen or any other internet-enabled device. If hazardous dust levels occur, a simple “traffic light system” triggers an alarm signal which allows you to pinpoint hotspots and activate dust suppression mechanisms immediately.

Compared to fixed dust monitoring stations, DustRover™ relays minute by minute, real-time dust data, right at the vehicle dust source. The quick implementation of targeted dust suppression strategies translates to water savings and reduced vehicle wear and tear.

Reliable data-based decisions from DustRover™ enhance productivity, improve efficiency and help you comply with occupational health & safety management plans and government regulations.

Treats hostile terrain like home

Tried and tested across some of the world’s toughest mine sites, the broad measurement range of DustRover™ ensures performance at extremely high dust levels, making it an ideal trending tool to monitor peak dust events — detecting variations in dust concentration levels and particles as small as 0.3 micrometres (μm).

Based on inductive electrification technology, DustRover™ requires minimal maintenance and no calibration for “trend monitoring only” applications. A key asset for smart mine monitoring, DustRover™ is highly scalable, catering for big and small vehicle fleet sizes. Depending on specific requirements, it can also incorporate an optional ambient temperature and relative humidity sensor — giving you a wider view of site conditions.

Dust monitoring to help cities breathe easier

DustRover™ opens up new avenues for hyperlocal dust mapping across urban environments. While its use at mining sites is well established, DustRover™ can also be successfully deployed for hyperlocal dust mapping across urban environments, helping control excessive dust that impacts quality of life in communities where we live, work and play.

Its mobility and smart data capabilities make DustRover™ a forward-thinking system for monitoring particulate matter across our streets and neighbourhoods —essentially becoming a city-wide environmental dust monitor.

Easily adapted to fit any medium-sized or large vehicle such as a utility, 4×4 or construction dump truck, DustRover™ sensors can also be mounted onto a dedicated vehicle to capture real-time information and transmit data back to a traffic command centre. You can then take immediate action to implement dust control mitigation as required. Key data insights from DustRover™ can empower authorities and city planners to redesign urban landscapes and traffic routes around dust hotspots. And with the advent of autonomous vehicles, there is no limit to the future of mobile dust monitoring with DustRover™.
