Whether you’re monitoring a bridge, aligning a beam, or safeguarding a tailings storage facility, we help you make smart, safe, data-driven decisions.
Wireless condition monitoring in the mining industry is revolutionizing how operators manage safety, performance, and environmental risk across vast and often hazardous sites. Here’s a detailed look at how it applies across key mining infrastructure:
Wireless Condition Monitoring in Mining Applications
Wireless sensor networks offer real-time, remote insights into structural and geotechnical conditions—without the need for cabling or constant manual inspection. These systems are compact, rugged, and designed for harsh environments, enabling proactive decision-making and risk mitigation.
Hoist Shafts
Monitor shaft alignment, vibration, and structural integrity. Detect early signs of deformation or mechanical failure. Reduce downtime and improve safety for vertical transport systems.
Tailings Storage Facilities (TFS)
Track pore pressure, slope stability, and seepage rates. Integrate geotechnical, hydrological, and environmental sensors for holistic monitoring. Enable compliance with global standards like GISTM.
Process Plants
Monitor vibration, temperature, and structural movement in critical machinery and foundations. Wireless systems reduce installation complexity in high-interference zones. Support predictive maintenance and operational continuity.
Open Pits & Haul Roads
Detect ground movement, slope instability, and subsidence. Monitor haul road conditions to prevent vehicle damage and accidents. Enable dynamic routing and safety alerts for structures and geotechnical features.
Sinkholes
Use ground motion sensors and tiltmeters to detect void formation. Provide early warnings in harsh terrain or areas with historical collapse risk. Reduce the risk of infrastructure failure or personnel injury.
Tunnels & Declines
Monitor convergence, vibration, and environmental conditions. Wireless nodes can be deployed deep underground without line-of-sight. Enable real-time alerts for structural shifts or hazardous conditions.
Wireless monitoring systems in mining are typically paired with cloud-based platforms for data visualization, automated alerts, and remote configuration. This allows operators to act before small changes escalate into costly or dangerous failures.
