Mine Site Technologies (MST) will shine the spotlight on digital communication technologies for both surface & underground mines on Stand 1108 at GME.
The company specialises in underground communications, remote blasting systems, RFID tracking systems and cap lamps; as well as high data wireless mesh networks for surface mining communications.
Featured at GME will be MST’s Integrated Communication Cap Lamps (ICCL) and digital RFID tracking system, along with the latest enhancements into Proximity Detection.
The new generation lightweight cap lamps have been installed at a number of mines throughout the WA goldfields and beyond. These mines include Jundee, Leinster and Radio Hill in WA, as well as mines in North America like Barrick’s Meikle and Rodeo Mines in Nevada, and BHPB’s Ekati Diamond mine.
Important attributes include the integration of RFID tags inside the ICCL battery pack for long term reliability and to ensure they are always with a person who is underground. The tracking network set up for personnel can also be used for tracking equipment throughout the mine, automating the upload of position, as well as payload data, into dispatch systems like MineSuite.
Of interest to the surface miners will be the Rajant Wireless Mesh system based on 802.11 Breadcrumbs.
According to the company, this mesh system provides a highly mobile, high bandwidth communication network in open pit mines, as well as an easily installed extension to fixed digital networks underground.
