JUST GOOD SENSE

摘要

While proximity detection technology has been available for some years, its adoption rate has been somewhat slow, particularly within underground coal mines. The technology has evolved over the last few years to a state where it can now be considered fit-for-purpose for underground coal mining. New developments have seen the release of approved systems, which overcome some of the earlier issues, such as false alarms. Business investment in proximity detection is a significant capital cost to a mine and therefore operators not only look for a system that greatly improves safety, but also one that will not negatively impact their productivity at the same time.
