COLLISION AVOIDANCE & TRACKING
MISSING MINER SOLUTION (MMS)
MISSING MINER SOLUTION
The Missing Miner Solution consists the Missing Miner tag and the Wearable Proximity Device. The M3SH Missing Miner Tag is a lightweight, long-life wearable device for personnel visibility, emergency alerts, and rescue response in open-pit and underground mines, and surface operations. Unlike systems that depend on Wi‑Fi, LTE, cap lamps, or collision-avoidance infrastructure, it operates as part of a self‑forming mesh network that continues functioning when other systems fail.
COLLISION AVOIDANCE & TRACKING
MISSING MINER SOLUTION
WEARABLE TRACKING TAG: UNDEGROUND
The wearable tracker tag is the primary device of the MMS and provides continuous personnel identification in the underground environment.
