In 2004 the consortium consisting of KOMAG, Silesian University of Technology and ELSTA Group started work on a system for identification of powered roof support components, which records the time and conditions of their use on the basis of RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) technology. Increase of interest in state-of-the-art, resistant to environmental conditions systems for management of machines, equipment, fixed assets and transportation means, which are used in hard coal mines, was the reason to develop a complex, modular identification system - iRIS. The system enables quick identification of the main sub-systems of mining machines in underground and surface conditions, capital assets and equipment of offices as well as means of transportation by marking them with RFID transponders or barcodes.
