The WA Government funded ($20M) Australian Automation and Robotics Precinct (AARP) is an exciting development in the fast moving world of Automation and Robotics and will offer a much-needed test facility and collaboration space for multiple sectors including the minerals sector.
Being developed by DevelopmentWA, Amira Global has been a strong advocate and supporter of this facility to grow into its global network of test facilities under its CoLabs program. The precinct is located within the greater Perth metropolitan area and close to the innovation community in WA.
On behalf of DevelopmentWA, we invite our members and partners in the minerals sector to participate in an online Focus Group on 23 April 2021 which will help define and tailor the precinct to serve the needs of the sector, both nationally and internationally.
Please contact Kelli Howell (ph: 0407-069-324 ) to register your interest.

Did you know Amira Global played a role in creating Australia’s automated mining fleet?
In 1998, Amira Global formally began project P517: Autonomous Underground Mining Vehicles with CSIRO and the University of Sydney to determine what the mining industry might expect from an automation system.
The project arose following a short series of tests in 1996 at Mount Isa Mines to evaluate the suitability of a range of sensors that may be useful for autonomous vehicles. This was a collaborative effort between CSIRO, Mount Isa Mines and the University of Sydney under the auspices of the CMTE.
These tests concluded that the development of an automation system to surpass the conventional technology was possible.
In his presentation The Rise of the Robots at the Amira Global ROAR earlier this month, Australian Droid + Robot (ADR) Founder Dr Joe Cronin references Amira’s role in autonomous vehicles.
Dr Cronin said the 1998 project created the world’s first automated LHD, demonstrating that an LHD could navigate autonomously in an underground mine.
“Fifteen years later Northparkes E48, 100 percent of their production was automated. There were zero injuries to operators, the daily production rates has increased and the costs have lowered,” Dr Cronin said.

P517 achieved the following milestones:
A commercial licence agreement was signed with Caterpillar Elphinstone and Automative & Industrial Mining Supplies before the final product was tested at Mount Isa Mines. Work by the research team finished at the end of December 2000.
