Mining Solutions

The next wave of productivity gains in mining will be driven primarily by digital transformation, and the foundation is asset and worker tracking to capture production key performance indicators (KPIs). Huge distances, changing layouts and hazardous environments present challenges to achieving the digital paradigm

TrackSphere™ integrated with geographic information systems (GIS) helps mining operation managers, supervisors, operators and head office personnel have clear, real time visibility into their entire production chain.
Customized alerts keep employees informed about contractors, personnel behavior, movements of vehicles and production assets. Users are empowered to make more timely process changes based on better data.

Staff, contractors and visitors across huge mines are a challenge for mine management. How can you improve execution results and team efficiency? How can you empower workers and provide them with bidirectional communication and support? How can you optimize mine output and understand team behavior?

Workers wear a tag that enables geolocation and remote monitoring over several kilometers—either in open pits, underground mines or indoor facilities— and includes an accelerometer sensor. TrackSphere™ software platform provides real-time behavior, presence in production zones, business intelligence (BI) analysis and integration with mining operations systems.

Companies need to conduct risk assessments and run extensive worker training programs, but how can you enhance policies in places where smartphones or private mobile radio (PMR) are not possible?

Wearable trackers are smart devices that enable remote worker monitoring. Key features are GPS location outdoors across several kilometers, an indoor presence with Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) beacons, help button, man down capabilities (fall/impact detection) and remote surveillance. In hazardous and explosive atmospheres, ATEX/IECex certification can be provided. Look at our WideArea_Tracking™ and uRTLS™ for more details.

Production machines can be spread across a wide area or confined inside a tunnel or underground mine. Mining companies need to tackle everyday challenges, such as controlling costs, extending equipment life or enhancing safety and security.

Tracktio’s solution enables precise location of critical assets and enables mine digitization. Goods inventory accuracy gets close to 100%. Assets like critical tools and production machines are always located, to improve plant or pit productivity.
