The FIREM project investigates the possibility of equipping an existing, remote-controlled wheel loader in the mining environment with modern fire-fighting technology. The goal is to rapidly start a firefighting effort without endangering the safety of the on-site response personnel, while waiting for the fire and rescue services to arrive. This final demonstration video is a simulation of what it could look like when a fire breaks out in a mine.
Behind the project are Robotdalen and Malardalen University, together with Boliden Mineral AB, Cold Cut Systems AB, Lulea University of Technology, Volvo Construction Equipment AB and Orebro University.
