Safe Mixed Traffic for Mining Operations
Guarantees that automated machines are never at the same location at the same time as manual machines or people.
Key Capabilities
Proven Localization
First proven safety solution using speed-of-light measurements. A combination of measurements yields a small proven localization volume in which the tag is known to be located.
Dynamic Geofencing
Virtual protective shield around each machine that follows through fast recalculation. Works as dynamic geofencing around both automated and manual vehicles.
Mixed Operating Zone (MOZ)
Three operating states: Manual (no automated machines operating), Automated (no manual machines operating), and Mixed (both operate simultaneously).
Fast & Cost-Effective
~2 hours per kilometer installation time. Low infrastructure cost compared to existing solutions in underground mining.
Increased Productivity
Drastically increase mine output by eliminating rigid robot cells and enabling flexible mixed traffic operations.
Safety Target
Targeting SIL-3 (IEC 61508/62061) and PL-e (ISO 13849) certifications. Zero collision guarantee through proven localization and dynamic geofencing.

Hardened UWB Infrastructure
Enhanced Protection
Shields electronics from moisture, dust, and chemicals. No seams and integrated strain-relief for high robustness.
Shock Absorption
Absorbs impacts and vibrations, safeguarding components from damage during blasting.
Cost Effective
Reduces long-term costs by minimizing additional protective measures and production time.
Finished Cable Solution
An anchor every 30 m, with 250 m of infrastructure per anchor cable assembly. Two cables per tunnel for a standard installation.
