December 2007 - A large copper mine in Chile has chosen MMI's combined ToothMetricsTM + ViewMetricsTM system
Motion Metrics proudly announces that MMI has been awarded a lease-to-owe agreement to supply five ToothMetricsTM + ViewMetricsTM systems to one of the world's largest copper mines in Chile. The deal was managed by Tecno Tip Top Chile S.A., MMI's commercial agent in Chile.
The decision came after a team of managers and engineers from this mine visited another MMI Chilean customer mine with ToothMetricsTM + ViewMetricsTM systems equipped on its entire production P&H shovel fleet. The team evaluated the working systems in action and became impressed with the proven performance, reliability, ease of maintenance, as well as customer satisfaction of the MMI systems.

August 2007 - Installation of 6 LoadMetrics Systems in South Africa
MMI installation team visited a large platinum mine in South Africa on two separate trips and installed a total of 6 LoadMetrics systems. These systems were installed on Terex O&K RH200 and RH340 hydraulic shovels. Upon the request of the mine, MMI is now working closely with the mine dispatch provider in order to connect the payload and arm geometry data to the mine dispatch room. The mine initially placed a purchase order for 3 systems and after being satisfied with the results, they placed another purchase order for 3 more systems.
July 2007 - Successful Completion of RigMetrics project
MMI successfully completes a one-year collaborative project for the design, development, and field testing of an advanced machine vision based automation system for mobile oil service rigs industry. This digital monitoring and control project marks MMI's entrance into the oil industry and is a natural extension of the company's core competency in the design and development of rugged embedded monitoring products for the open pit mining industry. Two sets of successful field trials were performed on a mobile oil rig in Alberta. In the final field trials many tripping actions were performed using a robotic manipulator controlled by MMI's torso-mounted stereo camera system. RigMetrics is a new product that will be offered by MMI for the oil and other heavy-duty industries, based on the results of this project. Stay tuned for further details on this exciting new development at MMI.
July 2007 - Repeat order of MMI systems for an Indonesian gold mine
MMI had completed the shipment of 2 ToothMetrics + ViewMetrics systems to a large gold mine located in Indonesia, for installation on P&H cable shovels. This is a repeat order after this new customer installed the system on its first shovel in 2006. The technical crew at this mine later requested MMI to design a double camera and double monitor surveillance system for haul trucks to augment their side mirrors. Our new VMHT (ViewMetrics for Haul Trucks) product is the result of this suggestion. It is now available commercially at a very affordable price.
