3D-P DEVELOPMENT OF ONE DISPLAY
Ron WhiteVP, Technology & CTO
Who is 3D-P?
Founded in 1996
Purposed to bring value add technology to mining vertical
Customer driven to utilize open methodologies and unique mining, manufacturing, and IT knowledge to provide:
Wireless data networks for open pit mining Communication to new as well as legacy applications Open access to data Hardware Ruggedized for mining which can deliver both virtual and physical interface
capability as well as application hosting.
3D-P Mission Statement:3D-P believes in technology for mining, designed by people who know mining. We solve the technology problems miners face by making products that are easy to use, give them direct access to their data, and eliminate technology clutter.
What We Do
Enable and unleash the power of productivity, asset health, & safety applications for surface mines
Wireless data networks for mines
Application Interfacing Tools
Manufacture Intelligent Endpoints for on-machine network access, resource sharing and application hosting.
Provide management software applications to simplify administration of the wireless network and all the onboard connections.
Support and Services

Reducing Technology Clutter
From reduced radios onboard to reduced screens in the cab, reducing technology clutter is at our core.
• Remove extra radios• Remove the onboard Ethernet switch• Remove RS-232 to Ethernet converters• Remove VPN client hardware• Remove asset health data logger hardware• Remove multiple GPS Antennas• Remove 3rd party application hardware
Designed for mining Rugged Mining specific IO capabilities Resource sharing software
Reducing Technology Clutter (Cont.)
How is it managed? Friendly
Hosted and/or using 3D-P Virtualization Tools Unfriendly
Un-aware of 3D-P virtualization (although possibly receiving data from those tools)
Resource Sharing Network Sharing/Management Tools GPS Data File Transfer Date/Time Services Caterpillar VIMS Telemetry
These tools simplify the job of certifying new applications/connections to the 3D-P IEP.
One Display
One Display - Reducing Technology Clutter
Simplified Approach Show the video from hosted and non-hosted applications
on a single screen Monitor those applications for pre-defined alerts and
alarms and prioritize viewing based on those alarms.
Where VNC server is available on applications, no requirement for application vendor support.
