Remote Mining Operation

Industrial SCADA System

// the problem

A remote gold mine in the Northern Territory needed a 24/7 autonomous irrigation system. The site had no reliable power grid, limited connectivity, and required multi-layer safety interlocks to protect industrial pump equipment.

// the solution

A complete SCADA system with solar-powered wireless mesh networking, Node-RED control logic, alternating valve automation, and multi-layer pump safety interlocks. The system runs autonomously with remote monitoring and alerting.
