Elke mijnwerker werd in seconden geregistreerd, op ATEX-gecertificeerde UWB.
Een pan-Afrikaanse mijnbouwgroep had toezichthoudende bijeenkomsten en nabijheidsveiligheid ondergronds nodig op vier locaties.
Waar ze tegenover stonden.
Langzaam papierverzamelen
Het aantal mensen duurde minuten, zoals de regulator wilde, in enkele seconden.
Geen nabijheidsveiligheid
Er was geen geautomatiseerde veiligheid tussen mensen en transportvoertuigen.
Onbekende bewoning van het toevluchtsoord
De bezetting van de reservaatkamer kon tijdens een evenement niet worden geverifieerd.
Identiteit van de klant vertrouwelijk gehouden. De cijfers weerspiegelen resultaten van vergelijkbare RTLS/RFID-implementaties; uw eigen cijfers hangen af van use case, omgeving en uitvoering.
Leveranciersneutraal, resultaatgericht.
We ontwierpen ATEX/IECEx-gecertificeerde UWB voor het lokaliseren van ondergrondse arbeiders, geautomatiseerde verzameling en nabijheidsdetectie op vier mijnlocaties.
Wat we hebben geleverd.
- Ondergrondse mijnwerkerslocatie en geautomatiseerde verzameling
- Voertuignabijheidsdetectie in actieve zones
- Verantwoording van de reservaatkamers
Het resultaat zag de commissie.
De stapel erachter
Programmapatroon voor deze 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, risico en wat we weigeren te claimen
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.
Implementatiesequentie en 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.
Koperschecklist, leveranciersuitdagingen en engagementvorm
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; leveranciersneutraal 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.
