Ore TraK System
|
RF Tag's "Ore TraK" system brings an end to the laborious
process of trying to control underground mining activities using
washers, wooden blocks and metal balls. RF Tag's "Ore TraK"
system uses cutting edge radio frequency technology thus enabling the
mine manager to gain a clear understanding of the makeup of the
conveyed ore and waste flows. The information is initially gathered by
a " tag-reader" system and can be sent via a network to the
manager's pc.
Ore TraK- Benefits
- Tracks ore from working place to
surface.
- Identifies the source of minerals whether reef or
waste.
- Reduces material
interchange.
- Reduces reef ending up on the waste conveyor.
- Reduces waste ending up on the reef
conveyor.
- Enables an assessment of time for waste and reef to
surface.
- Measures team performance.
Ore TraK-Results
- Increase in the mines
profitability.
- Quick payback on system in a matter of
months.
- Enables more control of what is happening
underground
Ore TraK consists of
- Passive disposable UHF Tags protected by robust
HDPE Secondary Packaging. These are blast resistant and
designed for use underground.
- Readers with external antennas for mounting on
conveyors. The readers are housed in IP65 enclosures for outdoor use.
- A desktop issuing reader with internal antennas and a
short read to enable tags to be issued.
- Readers and Tags are compatible with ISO 18000-6A
ensuring that customer is not locked into a single supplier.
- A LAN/Web based software system allowing designated users
to monitor ore movements.
- A set of standard reports
Ore TraK- How the System Works
- Using UHF passive tags and
readers.
- Tags are issued with time and date
stamp.
- Tags are placed in
reef or waste at the working
places.
- Tag surfaces with stuff on the conveyor and is activated by the
reader.
- Tag number is read by the reader and time and date is
recorded. Information is passed back to the
database.
- Screen displays information.
- Management information reports can be issued.
Ore TraK Implementation Plan
- Analysis of material flows with
client.
- Site Survey including
- Identification of reader locations.
- Identification of communication
structure.
- Hardware and software
installation.
- Communications
connections.
- Issue of tags.
- Test run the system by seeding the
stopes with the issued
tags.
- Run the standard
reports/screens.
- Customise software/reports (extra).
