RealTrac Underground Mining - a multipurpose system for enhancing industrial security and overall efficiency of mining operations. The system consists of the following products:
Monitoring of personnel access levels
Due to geo zones with various access levels, an operator is always informed if the personnel are trespassing in any forbidden zones or not. The reporting system enables the operator to find out the access levels system violations and to prevent such incidents.
Personnel positioning monitoring underground
An operator can receive data in real-time not only about the positioning of miners and vehicles, and about the motion path of the monitored objects within certain period of time.
Control of work-time and time spent in a geofence
The RealTrac system enables the operator to register personnel entry and exit times from a certain geofence. This helps to monitor positioning of personnel in certain zones of a mine and to alert a miner about the need to get to the surface. The data about events is stored on the server up to 10 years.
Personnel emergency notifications
In case of emergency, the system sends notifications about the need to evacuate to all miners. Also, the system enables the use of additional warning devices like: sirens, alarm, etc...
Personnel detection and evacuation in cases of emergencies
