Epiroc - RCS 5 the next generation of the Rig Control System for Pit Viper Blasthole Drilling Rigs

Epiroc has introduced RCS 5, the fifth generation of the Rig Control system for the Pit Viper blasthole drilling rigs.

Machine-to Machine Communication, Auto Tower Angle and Integrated Camera View are some of the early features introduced along with the Drill Plan Generator, allowing for the creation and editing of drill plans onboard the rig or from a remote location, and the Drilling Data Screen, that features real time depth and penetration rate feedback for easy in-hole monitoring.


“We’re excited to continue our automation journey, pushing the limits in sustainable productivity. Launching the RCS 5 platform will allow our customers and partners to further advance their operations, saving valuable time and dollars while increasing predictability and safety with either on board or autonomous operations” - says Tyler Berens, Product Line Manager, Automation at Epiroc Drilling Solutions. “Autonomous operations began with RCS 4, wait until you see where we take it with RCS 5.”
