Bioaccez is an specialist in RFID (radio frequency identification) and Software. One of the successful applications of both technologies in the Tunneling & Mining world is the tracking staff for improving safety of the workers.

 

In case of mines the raising of the productivity is also a must. A tracking system provides invaluable information to tunneling managers or mining officials in the event of an emergency, and allows them to react in a more efficient and timely manner. Knowing the location of personnel during an emergency, allows mine officials to better manage the situation.

The RFID use, in addition to providing safety benefits, is also expected to improve productivity. In the cases where the tags are attached to equipment and tools, the manager could track them in real time, managing such items more effectively and thus increasing their utilization in the mine. In the personnel use, productivity is also increased because the technology reduces the time that would otherwise be spent looking for personnel.

 

The system is based on readers and antennas detecting tags. The receivers are integrated into the mine's IT system, or into a new system based in WiMax for instance. The controllers are placed at strategic places at mine entries and underground to monitor the tag movements within zones, then the tracking information is displayed over a mine plan, or map, showing where people are.

Bioaccez presents two different solutions to do that: the Transeo-Plus or the Secure-Loc software.
