Application: Real-Time Workforce and Asset Tracking in Mining Operations
Description
The focus is on improving worker safety, operational efficiency, and incident response through location-based monitoring and real-time alerts. By mounting RFID devices on headlamps, belts, or badge cards, miners’ movements can be tracked, ensuring better coordination, quick emergency responses, and compliance with safety protocols. Environmental data collection further enhances situational awareness in hazardous mining environments.
Devices
- Tag sensors and readers for tracking people, collecting environmental data, equipment tracking, and real-time alerts. RFID transmitter devices are mounted on headlamps belts or badge cards of miners to enable tracking of workers in real-time.
