Trusted by Barrick Gold Corporation, Compass Minerals, Dyno Nobel, and The Mosaic Company, our mining industry HMIs are relied upon where safety and performance are paramount.
Our WeighStation, as a weigh scale HMI kiosk, satisfies unique operational needs by providing an interface for vehicles to check the weight of their cargo.
Equipped with sun shields for clear visibility and options for peripherals such as barcode scanners, RFID readers, and thermal printers for record-keeping, it provides mining companies with an HMI solution for smooth logistical operations.
We offer durable, shock-resistant stainless steel or aluminum pedestals and arm mounts that can swing, swivel, and tilt to accommodate the needs of your production environment.
Built for operation in extreme underground heat or everyday cold in polar regions, our product lines boast functionality in temperature ranges from -40°C to 70°C.
VarTech's computers and monitors offer NEMA and IP protection to stop dust and water ingress, even after temporary submersion. All-Weather, DiamondVue, and ToughStation units are excellent HMI solutions for dusty mining environments, designed to withstand outdoor elements.
ToughStation computers, monitors, and workstations are designed to be a safe user interface in hazardous areas where flammable gases or vapors are often or always present. Our purge-protected computers, monitors, and workstations include Type-X or Type-Z purge systems, ensuring our products are non-incendiary in C1D1 environments.
ToughStation and DiamondVue computers and monitors come in stainless steel enclosures: these units are fully sealed and certified for C1D2 environments.
Our rugged HMIs are often designed with integrated function buttons that can be used as an E-Stop for machinery and processes when connected to your systems. They also can be built with emergency alert lights that notify workers in underground mining settings of toxic environmental conditions.
All our product families include protection features to resist damage from shock and vibration, providing an operational interface within vehicles like haul trucks and heavy-duty machinery, including excavators and tunnel-boring machines.
The ruggedness of our units is a lifeline in operations where controlled explosions are an everyday occurrence.
VarTech's resistive touchscreens are engineered to function after being struck by foreign objects and are functional for users wearing heavy-duty protective gloves.
In use cases where extra display protection is needed, our DiamondVue and ToughStation HMIs have options for protective doors.
A rugged solution for a more protected environment, DiamondVue, ToughStation, and the ultra-powerful Bolt (Ai) include up to 128 GB of RAM for operators who control numerous complex systems. As human-machine interfaces, they will connect to data acquisition sensors and other wireless technologies to send and receive data via 4G-LTE Internet connectivity.
Built to NEMA 6 and IP67/IP68 specifications, All-Weather computers and monitors are well-suited for operating equipment and systems in challenging outdoor conditions including rain, snow, dust, and mud.
Our optical bonding process reduces glare, making it an excellent display solution for outdoor operations when paired with a sunlight-readable LCD panel.
Underground mines are home to challenging combinations of heat, humidity, and dust that require ultra-rugged HMIs for standard operations. Our units perform reliably in deep mine tunnels or during daily temperature swings in open-pit mines.
Our compact designs, with display sizes as small as 6.5" on our DiamondVue monitors, provide an efficient fit in tight underground mines.
When combined with our shock and vibration resistance, explosion-proof enclosures, and components ensuring reliability in extreme underground heat, VarTech's HMIs fit within subsurface mining companies' typical operating conditions.
