MODULAR Mining Systems has announces the release of the RoadMap Position and Safety Tracking System.
The technology provides a portable position tracking solution that enhances safety for light vehicles.
Modular Mining Systems says the RoadMap system means sites are able to continuously monitor position and speed of vehicles, area access, road networks, and proximity to hazardous objects.
RoadMap Position and Safety Tracking System users are able to see their current position in the mine on a moving map displayed on their PDA.
The system improves response time in emergency situations, replays accident scenarios, and enforces speed limits. Mine sites are able to prevent unauthorised access, reduce unproductive time resulting from lost personnel, and minimise accident risk from known hazards using this portable, affordable, and scalable solution.
Andree Röttig, Modular Mining Systems product manager says while there are other similar products in the market, the RoadMap system is really the first one designed exclusively for mining.
