Real-time tracking of both personnel and equipment for an underground mining operation. The location of the personnel & equipment was displayed on an interactive isometric 3D dashboard and their movement was visualised in real-time. The dashboard was monitored by control room operators in a surface location at the mine and at the corporate head offices, remotely. The solution was achieved by integrating with the specialised tracking sensors provided by the DEVUM channel partner. ![Client Testimonial underground mining ](https://www.devum.com/hubfs/image-png-May-17-2022-11-41-51-73-AM.png) CLIENT The end user was a large multinational gold mining group with key operations situated in Eastern Europe. The group embarked on a progressive digitalisation journey with a DEVUM channel partner who utilised our software platform to augment their existing hardware and sensors as part of a larger digitalisation solution. Our partner now relies on DEVUM as their go-to platform of choice to enhance their existing technology portfolio. THE PROBLEM STATEMENT SAFETY There were ever-present safety concerns due to a lack of real-time awareness of personnel and equipment location underground at any given time at the mine. DEVUM’s* workflow engine allowed for exception alerts to be generated based on the mine-defined business rules.* SCOPE OF OPERATION With Over 750 personnel and 100 equipment requiring tracking across kilometres of underground tunnels, managing the operation using traditional/manual means was not ideal and often ineffective. The DEVUM PLATFORM *was scalable and allowed for additional assets and personnel to be incorporated into the tracking solution, seamlessly.* LACK OF AUTOMATION The process of allocation of Cap Lamps and safety equipment to workers was time-consuming and inefficient resulting in a significant reduction in available production hours. PAGE BUILDER & FLUENT SERVICES *was used to produce a Cap Lamp and safety gear allocation screen to streamline and automate the issuing of equipment to personnel* PERSONNEL EFFICIENCY Transit efficiency and productive time at the mining face were not optimal due to a lack of situational awareness of personnel transit data and time utilization. KPI BUILDER *was used to create performance management benchmarks and KPI’s to track the key metrics associated with personnel transit time and efficiency, in real-time.* INFOGRAPHIC ![3D visualisation of an underground mine](https://www.devum.com/hs-fs/hubfs/b13.png?width=1542&name=b13.png)   SCREENSHOTS ![underground 3D model, cap lamp allocation](https://www.devum.com/hubfs/image-png-May-17-2022-11-43-28-77-AM.png) BUSINESS VALUE ![ROI business value](https://www.devum.com/hubfs/image-png-May-18-2022-09-41-54-80-AM.png)   **Like what you see?** We have some [great templates ](https://www.devum.com/solution)similar to this solution available for you to kick-start your journey. **Still undecided?** Check out our [FAQ](https://www.devum.com/blog/faq) and [Evaluation Guide](https://www.devum.com/evaluation-guide) for more info.
