Get a QuoteDrilling and mining operations involve some of the most powerful vehicles on earth, operating in environments where dust, noise, and confined underground spaces compromise visibility. The risk of vehicle-to-pedestrian incidents is ever present.
That's why we've developed proximity warning products that work reliably in GPS-denied underground tunnels, extreme temperatures, and dust-heavy open-pit operations — including a solution to automatically stop drill rigs when workers enter the danger zone.
RFID tags and vehicle-mounted antennas detect workers in a 360-degree field. Real-time audio and visual alerts to operators, with optional machine intervention to slow or stop equipment automatically.

AI-powered cameras detect people and vehicles without tags. Colour-coded distance alerts, live streaming, and video clip download. Ideal for surface operations needing visual verification.

Combines RFID tag detection with AI camera technology for maximum accuracy. Dual-technology virtually eliminates false alerts — critical for high-risk drilling and mining environments.

Extended configurable zones cover the massive blind spots around haul trucks, dozers, and large earthmoving equipment.
Engineered for -20 to +60 degrees C, extreme dust, vibration, and physical impact common in mining operations.
Insights Platform heat maps and trend analysis help mine safety teams identify risk patterns and demonstrate compliance improvements.
Haul trucks weighing over 200 tons, drill rigs, bulldozers, and graders operate alongside ground-level workers conducting surveys, maintenance, and monitoring tasks. The sheer scale of these machines means that a worker can be entirely invisible to the operator even at close range.
The blind zone around a large mining haul truck can extend over 15 metres from the vehicle body. Proximity Warning Core detection zones can be configured up to 30 metres to provide early warning for both the truck operator and workers on the ground.
GPS-dependent systems are useless underground. SensorZone RFID detection works independently of satellite signals, cellular networks, or external infrastructure, making it ideal for underground passages, decline access roads, and shaft areas.
Mining environments subject equipment to extreme dust, vibration, temperature swings, and physical impact. All SensorZone hardware is IP67-rated and engineered to operate reliably in temperatures from -20 degrees C to +60 degrees C.
Every proximity event across your mining operation is logged and transmitted to the SensorZone Insights Platform. This cloud-based analytics dashboard transforms raw safety data into clear, visual intelligence that helps mine safety teams identify risk patterns, demonstrate regulatory compliance, and continuously improve site safety.
Visualize where near-miss incidents concentrate. Redesign traffic routes and focus safety interventions where they matter most.
Spot anomalies and high-risk outliers. Flag workers or operators who consistently trigger more proximity events than their peers.
Track safety behaviour changes over time. Monitor the effectiveness of safety briefings and demonstrate continuous improvement.

Yes. SensorZone uses RFID technology that operates independently of GPS and cellular signals. Proximity Warning Core works in underground mines, tunnels, and any GPS-denied environment without any reduction in detection accuracy or reliability.
Yes. Proximity Warning Core supports extended detection zones up to 30 metres and multi-zone configurations. Multiple antennas can be mounted on large vehicles to ensure complete 360-degree coverage, even on the largest haul trucks and mining machinery.
Proximity Warning Core installs in under one hour per vehicle with no structural modifications required. Our engineers handle the full installation, including antenna positioning, zone configuration for your specific operating environment, and operator training. A typical mining fleet can be equipped within one to two weeks.
SensorZone RFID tags are designed for harsh industrial environments. They are dust-proof, water-resistant, and require no charging or battery management. Each tag has a battery life of over three years, eliminating the daily charging overhead that is impractical in mining operations.
Yes. The same Proximity Warning Core system and personnel tags work seamlessly across open-pit, underground, and surface operations. All detection events from every area feed into a single Insights Platform dashboard, giving your safety team a unified view of proximity risk across the entire mine.
Yes. Proximity Warning Core can be configured to interface directly with drill rig control systems. When a tag-wearing worker enters the pre-defined danger zone, the system sends an automatic signal to initiate a controlled shutdown of the rig. This removes human reaction time from the equation and provides the highest level of protection around active drill rigs.
The SensorZone Insights Platform provides a full suite of cloud-based analytics including site heat maps, high-risk worker identification, behavioral trend analysis, shift-by-shift comparisons, and drill rig intervention logs. All data is accessible via a web dashboard with options for automated reporting, Power BI integration, and CSV export for compliance documentation.
Yes. SensorZone is vehicle-agnostic and has been deployed on haul trucks, drill rigs, bulldozers, graders, excavators, loaders, and underground mining equipment from all major manufacturers. The system installs in under one hour per vehicle with no structural modifications required, and can be configured with multiple antenna positions to suit any vehicle geometry.
Our most advanced safety intervention for drilling operations
When a tag-wearing worker enters the danger zone around a drill rig, the system sends a direct signal to the rig's control system to initiate a controlled shutdown — removing human reaction time from the equation entirely.
The system sends a direct signal to the rig's control system to initiate a controlled stop — no operator reaction required.
Automatic shutdown removes the human variable, stopping the rig within milliseconds of detection.
Multiple warning and shutdown zones with escalating audio and visual alerts before automatic stop is triggered.
Every event logged with timestamp, tag ID, and zone distance. Data transmitted to Insights Platform for compliance reporting.
