Jevons Robotics builds autonomous, self‑levelling wheeled platforms for the mining, quarry and construction sectors, notably the ARTEV™6000. The vehicle uses vision‑based hole detection and a modular, payload‑agnostic chassis to deliver explosives, stemming material, fluids, sensors or cable‑management kits, reducing personnel exposure to hazardous conditions while maintaining productivity. Data and battery management are streamed to a central control room for remote monitoring and coordinated operation.

Problem
Mining operations expose personnel to hazardous conditions when delivering explosives and stemming material, especially on uneven terrain, leading to safety incidents, ergonomic strain, and high labor costs.
Solution
Jevons Robotics offers the ARTEV™6000, an autonomous, self‑levelling wheeled platform designed for the drill‑and‑blast cycle. Integrated vision and automated hole‑detection allow the vehicle to precisely position itself over blast holes without human intervention. The chassis supports interchangeable payload modules, enabling rapid swapping between explosives, stemming material, drilling fluids, de‑watering equipment, sensors, or cable‑management kits. Data from the vehicle are streamed to a central control room for coordinated operation, battery‑charging management, and remote monitoring, reducing on‑site personnel and exposure to critical hazards while maintaining productivity.
Target Audience
Primary customers are mining companies and service contractors that conduct drill‑and‑blast operations in open‑pit environments, as well as quarry and construction firms seeking automated explosive handling solutions.
Features
- Self‑levelling chassis that adapts to irregular pit topography for stable operation
- Vision system with automated blast‑hole detection and precise positioning
- Payload‑agnostic modular design allowing quick interchange of explosives, stemming, fluids, sensors, or cable‑management equipment
- Integrated autonomy software with remote monitoring and control‑room coordination
- Battery‑powered propulsion with centralized charging infrastructure for reduced emissions and operational cost
- Proven deployment in the Pilbara region with ongoing production of the ARTEV™1000 variant for quarry and construction applications
