Enviromental Monitoring EMS V10.0

Overview
The Environmental Monitoring System (EMS) is an all-in-one solution for monitoring underground mining conditions. Mounted within a Drive, Decline or Return Airway, the system will monitor atmospheric conditions and relay in real time what is happening.
Application
The Digital Terrain “EMS” monitors, Temperature, (wet and dry Bulb), Humidity, Wind Velocity, blast detection, particulate monitoring, C02, O2,
CO, NO2, SO2, NH3 and H2S, to record, display, and report the status of your underground mine. The system can be wired to existing fan starters,
creating a complete VOD solution. The built-in touch screen and remote web interface makes device setup and operation easy and accessible.

Leveraging technology not only improves operational efficiency but also contributes positively to the environment. For those interested in going paperless, applications like the Magman and Simbio suite provide valuable operational insight and real-world practicality to support this transition.

Magman Stocktake New Features Stocktake compliance and balancing your magazine is a key regulatory requirement. Magman has always been focused on this through proactive alerting and email notifications. This has now been improved further by introducing a new stocktake validation workflow. This workflow prevents other transactions occurring if the magazine does not balance and requires approval via designated persons to proceed past an imbalanced magazine. The updated Magman system ensures seamless regulatory compliance and reduced downtime by enforcing users to complete a stocktake each shift prior to any other magazine transactions, removing any guesswork or administration level controls in the stock validation process and immediately requiring intervention if it does not balance. Here’s the new Magman stocktake workflow:
