MINEX™ Subterranean Mining Telemetry
Proprietary real-time personnel tracking, emergency shaft mustering, environmental atmospheric monitoring, and automated scraper tipping cycle analytics.
Real-Time Subterranean Intelligence for Hard-Rock & Coal Mines
Underground mines present extreme communication barriers, hazardous atmospheres, and critical emergency evacuation challenges.
MINEX™ bridges the gap between deep shafts and surface control rooms using intrinsically safe (Ex ia) wireless sensor nodes, cap lamp RFID/LoRa beacons, and fiber-optic backbones. It gives shaft managers real-time visibility over every miner and production asset.
Key MINEX™ Platform Modules:
- Real-Time Personnel Tracking: Zone-level cap lamp location with trapped-miner emergency pinging
- Automated Shaft Mustering: Sub-second headcount reconciliation during underground alarms & fires
- Environmental Gas Mesh: Methane (CH4), Carbon Monoxide (CO), Oxygen (O2) & airflow telemetry
- Tipping Cycle Counter: Automated scraper winch stroke count, cycle times & stope tonnage forecasting
Engineered for DMR Statutory Compliance & Peak Safety
Meeting Department of Mineral Resources (DMR) mandatory codes of practice.
Cap Lamp Personnel Beaconing
Ultra-low power RFID/LoRa transponders integrated into standard LED cap lamps providing hands-free zone tracking, battery telemetry, and two-way evacuation flashing.
Atmospheric Hazard Mesh
Real-time telemetry measuring hazardous gas concentrations, ambient temperature, humidity, and ventilation airflow velocity across stope drives and return airways.
Automated Tipping & Tonnage
Inductive sensors on scraper winches automatically tally tipping passes, measure travel duration, and feed live shift production estimates into surface SCADA.
