Modular Mining Systems
The Problem
Modular Mining Systems, a leader in mine management systems, needed a way to manage various pieces of equipment within an above ground mine.
The Solution
TES-i developed a wireless mesh network system using nodes on equipment throughout the mine, allowing Modular to ensure assets are in the right place at the right time and working properly. Mesh networks consist of many nodes communicating with each other and reporting data including location, acceleration, equipment operation, fluid levels, and other required monitoring parameters. Information is accessible in real-time via mobile devices and cloud computing.
Project Highlights
The wireless mesh network nodes are designed to withstand the mine’s rugged environment. The nodes transmit regular data about the equipment at its location to a gateway unit hardwired to the central software application. Nodes have GPS onboard and monitor location and acceleration. Modular accesses the software to monitor equipment and ensure efficiency as well as immediately identify issues.
