International Mining Association

In the mining industry, especially in Australia, those ground vehicles, tractors or transport vehicles are known as boggers. Imagine the traffic in the tunnel is not always brightened, and because there is no rear-view mirror and side mirrors, which limits the scope sight crossing, can not provide the visibility, do not know what vehicles will crash out. Mine was full of dark may have boggers rampage.

These ground vehicles equipped with RFID The company’s new collision warning system, you can safely run through the mine tunnels that do not worry at this time of confusion surrounding environment impact to other mobile devices.

All of these vehicles are important investments in capital, if the boggers collision, the financial loss is not only vehicles but also idle assets, not to mention the personal safety of the. TELFER GOLD has three patrol vehicles, the first two years were boggers crushed, lost 80,000 U.S. dollars per vehicle. The NIFTY copper have a vehicle inspected by bogger crushed, also suffered large losses.

Problem: how to prevent underground boggers and other vehicles then collided?

RFIDInc. With their long-standing distributor in Australia and technology Cooperation Partner?? Pacific Automation Company, developed a new product, solving the problem. The new collision warning system can play in the corner of the supervisory function, the company spent a lot of time to develop. The solution is tailored for the mining industry, a frequency of 433MHz, is a long-range active Electronic Label System.

Pacific Automation Company RicharddeJong said: “In this chaotic underground environment, a mirror in a very short period of time will be destroyed, you must always think of these vehicles will run into a wall at the trial before the row, when the loading of ore so be it. even installed things will be moving sharply in the boggers down. underground world is really confusing. ” Working for the frequency

This work for why the frequency of 433MHz active tags do? Clearly, in this context, it can extend to several hundred feet, but may be limited according to requirements within tens of meters. In addition, the frequency is in most countries around the world has been the standard accepted by the Government without approval.

The RFID tags and readers into each vehicle, the reader will alert the operator when they will occur within a predetermined range of other vehicles. Reader An operator can be seen in the vehicle cab and has a LED display and a whistle horn.

One might ask, if each has its own RFID tag bogger that readers will continue to read labels, connecting it to issue a false alarm? To avoid this problem, RFIDInc. Adds a feature, readers can be set to ignore a particular label. This feature also can be changed, if necessary, you can specify a new label to ignore.

The collision warning system is actually RFIDInc. Company “Extenda-Read” an extension of the production line. These products include RFID tags and readers, active and semi-active, the frequency of 433.92MHz. These products are used in vehicles such as trucks and ID recognition; access control; staff attendance and track, car park Management And so on.

In fact, the first collision warning system is RFIDInc.’s Partners in the United States installed, was a warehouse forklift in order to avoid a collision.

Ensure safety and save money

The collision warning system is still the key to the mining contractor or bogger operators demonstrate the safe operation of vehicles and the system can overcome the visibility problem.
