Benefits of IIoT for the Mining Industry

In mining, the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) uses a suite of in-field and wearable devices coupled with state-of-the art software in order to improve safety measures and achieve site efficiency.

Our IoT mining devices and AI software solutions help supervisors evaluate and optimize overhead costs per site as well as monitor labor and equipment access with zone-based, real-time location services (RTLS). The result is better worker safety, improved productivity, continuous equipment utilization reporting, and automatic reporting.

How Spot-r helps improve your mining operations:

Improved Site Security

Mining is a dangerous industry. And effectively monitoring a large workforce and equipment fleet is notoriously difficult.

Our solutions feature zoned-based, in-field tracking of both people and property. It immediately recognizes when an individual enters a given work zone or gets near a piece of equipment, alerting management and/or restricting access based on that person’s authorization.

Our IIoT for the mining industry is built on a foundation of real-time tracking and two-way alerts that make it easier than ever to improve labor productivity and security measures in the field.

Enhanced Worker Safety

The access-control and connected worker features of our IoT mining technology allows you to take a proactive approach to worker safety – even in the most hazardous areas of your worksite.

Meanwhile, the Spot-r lone worker and real-time fall detection system means that you can automatically deploy an emergency safety protocol if and when an accident does happen. Supervisors will be notified if a worker slips, falls, or uses the two-way alert system on their wearables, drastically decreasing the time between an accident and emergency dispatch.

Automated Evacuation Preparedness

Improve your emergency response system with real-time safety check-ins and automated sitewide evacuation and muster technology. Instantaneous alerts increase response times, which can help decrease the severity of an accident and can prevent additional injuries.

Triax clients have improved evacuation and muster times exponentially with the Spot-r IIoT for the mining industry. By enabling automated safety alerts and evacuation alarms, we have seen examples of full site evacuation and clearance of dangerous areas in less than 10 minutes.

Optimized Equipment Management

Improve your Overall Equipment Effectiveness KPIs and obtain visibility into managed and rented equipment usage with real-time monitoring. Site supervisors and managers will gain access to insights like total equipment utilization, time on tool, which workers used which pieces of equipment, and alert notifications if unauthorized personnel enter the equipment zone.

Smart management of both equipment and labor productivity in mines is critical to running a safe, effective, and profitable operation – and Spot-r IIoT for the mining industry is the platform that enables it.

Using the IIoT for the Mining Industry Decreases Site Costs

With accurate, real-time data delivery Spot-r eliminates the middleman in many day-to-day mine operations. Managers can focus on boosting labor productivity and optimizing resource management without cutting corners or compromising safety.

Here’s How

On-Site Accident Reduction

Better safety measures reduce costly accidents, site closures, and equipment shut-downs. Worksites that deploy Spot-r safety features have seen as much as a 60% reduction in injury claims and a 10% increase of equipment utilization.

Workstation Efficiency Scoring

Data gleaned from the Spot-r IIoT is designed for mining industry operations. Managers can get clear numbers like worker time in a given zone, time on tool, peak operation hours, and more. This empowers them to make cost-saving changes for future shifts.

How Spot-r is Different

Top Mining Operators Trust Triax In Order to Improve Worksite Productivity and Safety Management

Spot-r helps bridge the gap between in-field workers and off-site management, creating a safer, more productive workforce in the process.

Our mining solutions include a suite of products and software that include real-time data capture from safety wearables and computerized vision AI, along with customizable safety alert settings, and an intuitive visualization dashboard.

Hazardous Area Monitoring

Spot-r’s mining IoT platform helps enforce safety and security measures by providing zone-specific monitoring via on-site devices and safety wearables.

Site supervisors and managers can keep their eyes on the entire operation at once with Spot-r technology. They can also review historical data on any given area, piece of equipment, or worker in order to make decisions that could reduce hazards in the future.

Workforce Safety Measures

Spot-r IIoT for the mining industry helps enforce safety and security measures by providing real-time worker data. The platform has been shown to increase injury response times by 91% and evacuation and muster times by 72%.

Spot-r dashboard helps you stay on top of worker labor risk indicators and behavior analytics to keep everyone safe. And if accidents do occur, workers can alert supervisors or an entire worksite to injuries or dangerous situations at the push of a button.

Equipment Monitoring

Optimize big-ticket equipment expenditures with our IIoT for the mining industry, offering you unparalleled visibility into which pieces of equipment are being used the most, by whom, and when.

With 24/7 real-time monitoring of your equipment fleet you can boost your preventative safety measures, decrease the likelihood of misuse, theft, or vandalism, and operate as close to full capacity as possible at all times.

Encrypted Data Syncing

Spot-r eliminates the pain points of collecting real-time data in the field. There’s no need to input information manually or work with siloed data across systems. Our IIoT for the mining industry automatically collects and transmits data to your billing, project management, and contractor management systems.

The Triax platform uses simultaneous inputs from location services, equipment tags, safety wearables, and AI technology in order to collect actionable data in one accessible dashboard. All your worksite data is also encrypted for additional data security.
