Cada minero se contabilizó en segundos, en el UWB con certificación ATEX.
Un grupo minero panafricano necesitaba concentración de grado regulador y seguridad de proximidad bajo tierra en cuatro sitios.
A qué se enfrentaban.
Recogida lenta de papel
El recuento de personal tardaba minutos que el regulador quería en segundos.
Sin seguridad por proximidad
No había seguridad automatizada entre personas y vehículos de transporte.
Ocupación desconocida del refugio
No se pudo verificar la ocupación de la cámara de refugio durante un evento.
Identidad del cliente reservada por confidencialidad. Las cifras reflejan resultados de despliegues RTLS/RFID comparables; sus propios números dependen del caso de uso, el entorno y la ejecución.
Neutral respecto al proveedor, orientado al resultado.
Diseñamos UWB con certificación ATEX/IECEx para la localización de trabajadores subterráneos, concentración automatizada y detección de proximidad en cuatro sitios mineros.
Lo que entregamos.
- Ubicación de mineros subterráneos y concentración automatizada
- Detección de proximidad de vehículos en zonas activas
- Rendición de cuentas en la cámara de refugio
El resultado que vio la junta.
La pila detrás
Programme pattern for this vertical
Mine mustering programmes replace radio roll-call with zone presence at refuge bays and portals. Tags must survive dust, moisture and shift abuse; readers must cope with steel and multipath. Offline modes matter when backhaul drops.
Link to emergency management procedures and shift systems so headcount discrepancies open a named response path within minutes.
Governance, risk and what we refuse to claim
These pages remain composite worked examples — not named-client results. We will not attribute percentages to a confidential site. When you engage, we rebuild baselines from your incidents, labour samples and system logs.
We refuse vanity accuracy claims without a coverage map, and we refuse programmes that silently add productivity surveillance onto a safety business case without a fresh DPIA or labour consultation.
Implementation sequence and change management
Map muster points and refuge bays against actual evacuation routes. Prove coverage with walk-tests under shift load. Publish what 'unaccounted' triggers within minute bands. Train controllers on exception lists before the first scored drill.
Contractors need induction packs and device issue/return logistics. Battery death mid-shift is an emergency-management problem, not an IT ticket. Keep analytics for productivity out of the muster tenant.
Ask vendors for offline behaviour demos and multi-level steel test data. Reject any proposal that skips night-shift drills in the acceptance plan.
Buyer checklist, vendor challenges and engagement shape
For mustering, demand night-shift drill criteria and explicit unknown-tag handling in the acceptance certificate.
Buyer checklist before you sign: (1) written system of record for events; (2) acceptance tests with 95th-percentile performance under real interference; (3) integration owner named in IT/OT; (4) privacy or labour consultation path if people are tagged; (5) cybersecurity zoning sketch; (6) five-year TCO including batteries, spares, recalibration and SLA escalations; (7) exit/export terms so you are not hostage to a cloud tenant; (8) a pilot that can fail without political punishment.
Vendor claims to challenge in this pattern: brochure accuracy without production load; 'compliance included' without artefacts; ROI that assumes perfect adoption in 30 days; references that cannot be called under NDA; install partners who have never worked your vertical's overlays; shared support accounts; and any design that dumps locating onto a flat plant or clinical VLAN.
How TRACIO typically engages: stage-1 architecture and measurement design; vendor-neutral shortlist and RFP language; pilot acceptance criteria; then optional implementation oversight or programme rescue if a prior pilot stalled. We stay independent of hardware margin. Composite pages like this one exist so you can prepare the workshop — your numbers replace every planning band when we model payback.
Risk register themes that recur: mute fatigue on alerts; shadow spreadsheets reappearing beside the platform; battery logistics understaffed; master data too weak to support identity; works-council or IG review starting too late; and success declared on demo day before night-shift reality.
Document baseline windows explicitly: what you measured, for how long, which shifts, and what you excluded. Investment committees and auditors both punish fuzzy before/after stories. If your baseline is weak, spend two to four weeks fixing measurement before ordering anchors or portals. That discipline is cheaper than a stranded deployment and is the difference between a locating programme and a technology souvenir.
