Virtual Demo and Workshop | Framework for Safe Mixed Fleet Operations in Underground Mining
Published: November 05,2025Safety in Action: GMG at Kristineberg Mine
From concept to collision-proof reality: see it in action!
Couldn’t make it to Sweden in-person? Join us virtually for a special event offering an exclusive first look at a prototype system that brings a new proven safety framework for mixed fleet mining to life at the Kristineberg Mine in Sweden.
Experience mixed fleet equipment operating safely in a real mine! A recorded demo will bring the proven safety principles from GMG’s forthcoming white paper, Theoretical Foundations (part of the Framework for Safe Mixed Fleet Operations in Underground Mining project), to life – turning theory into practice right before your eyes.
Participants will also learn about Kite Shield technology – developed by Boliden and LKAB with support from Mobilaris, Combitech, NXP, and Robotec – the behind-the-scenes safety system designed to guarantee collision avoidance in mixed traffic mining environments. By enabling human-operated and autonomous machinery to work safely side by side, Kite Shield is helping redefine the future of underground mining.
Then, share your experience, use cases, and insights with peers in a workshop where the information gathered will directly shape the next three white papers.
Demo
Be among the first to see a live demonstration of Kite Shield, a groundbreaking safety system that enables automated and human-operated machinery to safely share the same workspace.
Interactive Workshop
Collaborate with peers, share lessons learned, and provide feedback on the demo. Your input will directly influence the content of the Technical Implementation white paper, which will bridge theoretical principles with real-world deployment.
By joining this event, you’ll:
- Be among the first to witness an underground demo of a breakthrough safety system designed to make mixed traffic mining operations safer.
- Collaborate with your peers where your feedback from the workshop will directly shape the next white paper and the future of safe mixed fleet operations.
- Connect with the trailblazers, industry leaders and technology partners who are redefining how human-operated and autonomous equipment can work together underground.
Be part of the future of safe, automated, mixed fleet mining.
