Gas Monitoring Underground

Gas monitoring for Underground mining has been an essential part of the mining industry since the early days of mining. Long gone are the days of canaries in coal mines. These days, gas monitoring is a critical part of mining operations, and the stakes are high. A gas leak can be catastrophic, leading to loss of life, damage to equipment, and interruption of operations.

Becker Mining Systems’ smartsense® line is a comprehensive solution for gas monitoring in mining operations. The smartsense® line includes a variety of sensors, controllers, and software that work together to provide real-time data on gas concentrations in the air. The system is designed to be scalable, so it can be tailored to the specific needs of any mining operation.

The most popular solution in many modern mines today is the use of a single gas monitoring device. These small and compact instruments are instantly compatible in your mining site and there’s no need for complex programming or troublesome calibration. The integrated device is very reliable and low-maintenance due to its design according to strict international standards.

The smartsense® line of products has been designed specifically for the needs of the modern mine. Atmospheric and environmental monitoring is a critical part of mining operations, and the smartsense® line offers a comprehensive solution a handheld and wireless module. 

These devices can run on the VHF and UHF line as well as provide data transfer support for fast alerts to your control center. Having these handheld options is fantastic but when they automatically log and come with many of the tools that you expect to find in a more sophisticated sensor-based system, it is a no-brainer to seek out one of these systems to quickly integrate into your mine. 

These wireless devices can easily connect with the current communication systems that you have in place and they are also available to work in some of the most hostile environments across your mining site. If you have areas where it would typically be difficult to monitor, this is an easy device that you could use attached to equipment or  in other places that might be hard to get to.

Expansion models are available and there are other devices that can also link alongside the gas monitoring tool. With an easy-to-read screen as well as advanced reporting for your gas monitoring needs, these are  the most popular models on the market.

SmartCOM Leaky Feeder Wifi

One of the new ways that Becker has been moving into new markets is by applying their developments that have been traditionally used in coal and ore mining to other industries. Recently, they completed a project in Novomoskovsk where they implemented the SmartCom Wi-Fi system. This is a unique development of Becker Group that is already having success in various applications. Here we will learn all about SmartCOM Leaky Feeder Wifi.

 

The SmartCom Wi-Fi system is a leaky feeder wifi system uses low frequency electromagnetic signals to provide wireless coverage in difficult or dangerous environments. It is already being used successfully in mines, tunnels, and other challenging industrial settings. The Novomoskovsk project was the first time it had been used in a commercial setting, and it was a resounding success. 

 

This newest form of Wifi communication offers 100% coverage of the work area, and can pinpoint the location of personnel with an accuracy of 10 meters. The same Wi-Fi protocol allows the dispatcher to communicate with anyone who is in the mining complex, regardless of where they are. 

 

This is a major breakthrough for safety and efficiency in the mining industry, and it is only the beginning of what the SmartCom Wi-Fi system can do. 

 

Becker Mining Systems is at the forefront of developing new and innovative ways to keep people safe and connected in even the most challenging environments. The SmartCom Wi-Fi system is just one example of their commitment to improving safety and efficiency in the mining industry. With these forms of communication and data transfer built into mining sites across the world, we can see  a future where mines are not only safe, but productive and connected places.

 

One of the best aspects of this mining Wifi system is that it can be easily integrated into a mining site through existing leaky feeder lines.  This means that there is no need to run new cables or make any major changes to the infrastructure of the site. This makes it a very attractive option for companies who are looking to improve safety and efficiency without incurring a lot of extra costs. 

 

Becker Mining Systems is a global leader in providing advanced engineering solutions for the safe, productive, and connected mine of the future.
