Mining · safety · utilisation

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.

The problems

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.

What TRACIO delivers

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.
