Every miner accounted for. Every machine utilised.
For underground and open-pit mining. We design and deliver miner-tracking, vehicle-collision-avoidance, refuge-chamber accountability, blast-zone exclusion, and equipment-utilisation programmes. Compliant with ICMM proximity-detection guidance, MSHA expectations, and ATEX/IECEx where applicable. Hardware-agnostic across UWB, LoRa, RFID, and active RFID under regulated conditions.
What we keep seeing in mining operations.
Muster headcount is paper-based
When the siren goes, the supervisor walks the muster point with a clipboard. Minutes pass before anyone knows whether the headcount matches the shift roster. The regulator wants seconds, not minutes.
Haul-truck utilisation is invisible
Dispatch radios estimate position, idle time, and payload. Actual fleet utilisation only surfaces in the monthly report — long after the productivity ran out the gate.
Blast clearance relies on the radio
Clearance to fire depends on a verbal “all clear” chain. One missed acknowledgement and the zone is hot with someone still in it. The system needs to interlock, not trust.
The use cases that consistently pay back.
Miner location & mustering
Every miner accounted for at the muster point within seconds, audit-trailed for the regulator.
Proximity detection & blast exclusion
Interlocked with the blast schedule; no one in the zone when it goes hot.
Vehicle & equipment utilisation
Haul-truck fleet utilisation, dispatch optimisation, payload analytics.
Refuge-chamber accountability
Chamber occupancy verified, capacity managed.
Maintenance & spare-parts traceability
RFID at the workshop and surface stores.
Energy & ventilation-on-demand
Ventilation triggered by people and vehicles actually present, not schedule.

Mining — where the payback shows up.
Underground mustering & SOS
Every miner accounted for at the muster point within seconds and audit-trailed for the regulator, with SOS and refuge-chamber occupancy.
Vehicle collision avoidance
Proximity detection between people and haul trucks reduces near-misses and lost-time injuries in active zones.
Equipment utilisation & dispatch
Haul-fleet utilisation and dispatch analytics cut idle time and lift tonnes-per-shift.
Underground, knowing exactly who is below and getting them to a muster point fast is everything. ATEX-rated UWB cut our emergency mustering from tens of minutes to near real-time and reduced vehicle-pedestrian near-misses. It stuck because TRACIO specified intrinsically-safe hardware rated for our environment and trained the crews properly.Mine Safety Manager · pan-African mining group · 4 sitesAnonymised at the client’s request.
