Safer underground mines with environmental monitoring systems
Australian mining location intelligence company GeoMoby has partnered with Sydney-based Digital Terrain to apply its real-time technology to monitoring environmental conditions in underground mines. Underground conditions are hazardous and dangerous, with these fully-integrated technologies from GeoMoby and Digital Terrain providing environmental monitoring solutions that record a host of information, improving mining conditions and ultimately save lives. GeoMoby director Mathieu Paul says temperature and potentially-lethal gases such as carbon monoxide or methane can easily be remotely monitored and recorded, with alerts triggered where required. “Essentially Digital Terrain has the technology to monitor many conditions – from levels of gases, such as oxygen, to the temperature in underground mines – and GeoMoby has the technology to use Digital Terrain’s data, from its…
