Industry
Mining, Oil & Gas
Mining, oil and gas operations lose money to fuel loss, theft and downtime, and lives are at stake underground. We build real-time IoT and RF systems for those conditions, from worker safety to fuel, fleet and cargo tracking. They're designed and manufactured in South Africa.
Underground worker safety
SMART PeopleSafe: every person tracked underground.
SMART PeopleSafe is a GPS and RFID tracking network built for underground conditions. It's aligned to DMR pedestrian-detection requirements.
Worker tags
Every person underground wears a tag with 24-hour battery life and induction charging.
Proximity & panic alerts
Tags vibrate as workers near vehicles or danger zones, and a panic button raises an emergency.
RF proximity readers
Readers pick up seismic, gas and panic-button alarms, and detect cable, plug or battery tampering.
Perimeter intrusion
Any unauthorised gate or fence intrusion, including illegal mining, triggers an alarm automatically.
Every rollout follows the same sequence. We visit the site, design the RFID and communications pathways, deploy the hardware and integrate the dashboard and data. Then we test, calibrate and train your team, and support the system from there.

Fuel & fleet management
From the tank to the report.
FUELCop, PUMPCop and FLEETCop connect electronic dipsticks and pump instruments to one fleet-management platform.
- 01
FUELCop
Radio-linked electronic dipsticks detect water in fuel, correct level readings for temperature and send a daily email report.
- 02
PUMPCop
PUMPCop counts shaft rotations to measure litres pumped, and identifies the driver or attendant by Dallas iButton or RFID.
- 03
FLEETCop
FLEETCop is web software with more than 200 reports, covering insurance, maintenance cost, dispatch and driver behaviour. It also takes the FENCECop, CABLECop and TAMPERCop accessory sensors.
Mine-to-ship logistics
Tracked from pit to port.
We track and protect coal from the mine weighbridge to the power-station weighbridge and on to dumping. Cameras verify every stage.
Weighbridge
RFID identifies vehicles and trailers more accurately than ANPR. Each weigh record links to the delivery-note number, driver details and seal numbers.
Route protection
Geofencing checks the route, the driver and that each trailer is paired with the right horse. Operating-hours limits and fuel-tamper alerts add a further layer.
Gate validation
RFID validates vehicles at the mine gate and raises an alarm on any mismatch. Number-plate recognition tells known vehicles from unknown ones.
Infrastructure protection
Cable theft, caught before the cut.
Real-time RFID detection protects power lines and fibre-optic cable, with GPS location and recovery support.
Real-time detection
Strain-wire and digging sensors along the cable route raise an early warning.
Instant alerts
The moment tampering is detected, you get an email, SMS and app alert with the GPS location of the incident.
Recovery support
Stolen cable can be located and recovered using a high-power radio signal.
