COLLISION AVOIDANCE & TRACKING
MISSING MINER SOLUTION (MMS)

MISSING MINER SOLUTION

The Missing Miner Solution consists of various devices for employee safety and tracking under ground. The main component, the lightweight (<30 g) wearable tracking tag, works in conjunction with the wearable scanner long-range BLE communication (up to ~1000 m LOS) for real-time location tracking.
