New case study shows you a simple way to digitally transform manual, disconnected underground systems into smart systems with full-scale, remote visibility.

Do you work on industrial applications in hazardous environments, where one failure can lead to immediate and severe consequences?

OptoPartner Surety Automation has decades of experience in mining and process industries, and is no stranger to handling the challenges that come with these types of projects.

Read about their latest application success story, with a major gold producer in northern Nevada.

For underground mines, water control is everything. Trapped water can create real drowning and electrocution hazards for mine personnel, which means the sump pumps used to control water levels are extra critical.

When a gold producer in northern Nevada approached IoT-Certified OptoPartner Surety Automation to upgrade its sump controls, it was going to be a challenge to transform the existing manual, disconnected systems. Surety's goal wasn't just to make the sumps remotely controlled with the typical large and expensive hardware—they wanted to give mine operators visibility and control over the entire underground health of the mine.

See how their engineering team's research led them to: 

• groov RIO
• CODESYS
• Ignition

Read the complete case study to find out how Surety Automation was able to take a rudimentary pump upgrade to a fully connected mine application by building smaller, cost-effective, smarter systems that do more with less.
