FERRIT ELECTRIC employs a unique team of more than 20 developers, electronics engineers and assemblers of electronic components for mining equipment. The team is divided into two departments - the Development Department and the Production Department. A pleasant working environment, family atmosphere and an environment of mutual trust gives us the pleasure of meeting each other while working with the latest technologies and sharing and expanding our knowledge together.
Our electronic devices serve North America, South America, Africa, Asia, Europe and Australia. No matter where they are used, our machines deliver high value through our emphasis on their performance and quality. Our most remote machine in service is in far-away Chile.
The northernmost place where our machines operate is Norilsk in the Russian Federation, located just above the Arctic Circle. In Norilsk, our plants mine metals (mainly nickel) and coal.
Our machines make the dangerous safe. Our machines operate in a mining environment full of water, dust, gas, corrosion and explosive gas. With that in mind, we design our machines to be in accordance with all the safety standards for such environments. We have a designated team for whom ensuring and maintaining safety is the top priority. By responsibly following all safety regulations ensuring the safety of machinery and accessories, we protect the lives and health of miners all around the world. Quality and timely service of our machines is an activity we have grown to depend on. Our customers also depend on us and our service while our machines are in use. Each machine has a diagnostic device which stores data on the machine's operation and compliance with technical working conditions. This way we are able to document the faultless operation of the machine and to demonstrate permanently and openly its quality and contribution, while effectively preventing future breakdowns. The largest machines controlled and secured by our technology are DNK10F mine loaders with the length of 10 metres, width of 2.5 metres and the weight of 30 tons. The DNK10F can load up to 10,000kg in its shovel at a time. The smallest machine which uses our technology is the DMZ50-RC, a mine hanger locomotive with remote control. The locomotive is so compact that the engineer who operates it no longer needs a cabine, but walks beside the machine and operates it by remote control.
We enjoy our work. Where else can you operate our biggest "English" machine - the DNK 10 mining loader with the weight of 30 tons, which can load 10 tons of material per shovel stroke?
The area of electronics in which our developers are active is the TOP area. We process the total solution from design, product simulation, PCB design, prototype production and verification of the product in real operation.
We develop our electronic components and devices on modern computer software tools that allow us to virtualize and visualize the designed device, simulate its operation and measure its properties before a single component is switched on. This greatly speeds up development and prevents errors.
There is a fundamental difference between real-time technologies we use in our products and conventional PC technologies. Unlike general-purpose computers such as personal computers, embedded computers are usually single-purpose computers designed for simpler predefined activities and for fast, real-time operation. What matters here is its fast response to input parameters. After all, it is controlling a real machine in a real environment where nothing can get stuck or restart whenever the operation system decides that it is the right time to install software updates.
Our development work is increasingly project-driven. We invest in training and prepare project certifications for our developers. The result is quality and efficient work without unnecessary stress and customer satisfaction with a successful project. We share our knowledge and experience together as a team. If something goes wrong, we always look back and learn from the mistake.
Education is a necessity in our society. The training programme our employees undergo includes English and Russian language, vocational training and soft skills training. In order to keep in touch with customers, our employees are also able to participate in foreign conferences and exhibitions.
We thoroughly test our machines teaming up together with FERRIT staff on the company's polygon. The possibility of using the polygon gives us the ability to thoroughly test each developed component in operation, to see its real physical and technical properties and to verify its quality and functionality. Last but not least, the polygon allows us to play while we work!
We are developing a project to electrify our machines with new Lithium batteries. This is part of our technical and product future, and we want to be a technological leader here as well.
We are working on integrating our machines into an autonomous driving system, where selected machines will work independently, autonomously. We will thus ensure operation where people cannot be or where it is not worthwhile. Autonomous machines, like mining Teslas, are hot news and we are there!
We have joined our parent company FERRIT in the ‘Improvement and Good Ideas project’, where you can apply your beneficial ideas and earn additional rewards.
Certification of our products for mining operations is one of the most complex activities and starts at the design and development stage. We verify the high safety of our products by certification and comparison with standards.
We print some parts of our products on 3D printers. In the future, we are considering investing in these technologies further for efficient single-piece or small batch production.
