Does Minocular work in underground chromite mines?

Yes. Minocular uses Wi-Fi RTLS below the portal to track tippers, loaders and people by zone and level, and builds trip and production reports from it.

How accurate is underground tracking?

Access points along the decline and levels place each tag to roughly ten metres, by zone and level.

Can surface and underground run on one system?

Yes. Opencast dispatch, fuel and survey and underground RTLS share one equipment list, shift calendar and set of reports.

What happens at the portal where signal drops?

Store-carry-forward devices record on board and forward data when they reach coverage or a Wi-Fi gateway, so no trip is lost.

Who supplies the underground positioning hardware?

The site's hardware vendor supplies and installs access points and tags. Minocular defines the data points and interfaces and takes the feed, so the mine is not tied to one supplier.
