Underground mining blasthole cleaning and surveying is a serious safety issue for miners, requiring overhead work with the risk of dislodging material that can fall on operators. It is dirty and noisy work that is best done by robotic machines. Universal Field Robots is working with resources industry partners to implement this new automated technology. UFR HolePrep is making underground blasthole cleaning and surveying work safer and will boost efficiency and sustainability measures on our clients' mine sites.
