Hard-wired coaxial cable backbone the carries both reliable power and high Speed data to end-point devices underground. It can be used as a stand-alone system easy configured to expand existing.

Challenges Of Underground Power And Connectivity

Power

-Power is always unavailable where devices are required.

-Extensive infrastructure required for small device.

Connectivity

-Underground switches are too far from locations where devices are required.

-Devices are deployed in a linear topology ( Bus Topology)

-Old copper cable is still been used for telecommunication

-No offsite monitoring of devices

Deployment

-Devices often need to be installed in locations not originally planned for.

-Networks required skilled tradesmen to advance and change

-Expensive and old methods fault finding

Solutions

Digital Bridge

-Digital Bridge eliminates separate power distribution.

-Power is distributed over a communication cable with the Data.

-Digital Bridge connects any Ethernet device.

-Adhere to corporate network standards.

-Integrate with your existing distribution network.

-Enables your preferred endpoint devices.

-Remotely manageable.

Managing and locating important assets is a key challenge for almost any business. Time spent searching for critical equipment can lead to expensive delays or down time, missed deadlines and customer commitments, and wasted labour.

Benefits

-Allows the company to keep track of all assets and materials.

-Manage assets from different locations in an accurate and effective manner.

-Regular assessments of the assets will ensure that the financial statements of the business are accurate.

-Asset recovery is automatically reflected in an asset management system.

-Saves money on maintenance.

-Asset management allows an organization to understand the capabilities of its assets, and how they can be operated in the most effective manner.

-Asset management also includes the management of the risks connected with the use and ownership of the assets.

-Proper asset management can help optimize your operations that include the planning, resources use, and in the implementation of the management program.

-Removes ghost assets in your inventory.

-With the use of asset management system, incidents of thefts are lowered.Proper accounting of the asset recovery process will ensure that the company maximizes the returns with no items lost during the process.

Seismicity is defined by a number of seismic events occurring within a given volume of rock over a certain period of time and is quantified using four, largely independent, quantities

-Average time between events.

-Average distance between consecutive events.

-Cumulative seismic potency or seismic moment. (4) Cumulative radiated energies.

Benefits especially when coming to safety aspects.

-Rescue. To detect and locate potentially damaging seismic events, to alert management and to assist in rescue operations.

-Prevention. To confirm the rock mass stability related assumptions made during the mine design process and enable an audit of, and corrections to, the particulars of a given design while mining, e.g. delineation of geological structures, resolving the direction of principal stresses, monitoring propagation of a caving front, recording strong ground motion at the skin of excavations for support design.

-Hazard Assessment. To quantify the expected exposure to seismicity in terms of the probability of occurrence, within a specific period of time in a given area, of potentially damaging events, in the intermediate and long term. The latest hazard results should be compared with previous ones, differences discussed, explained and documented. To monitor and to quantify an increase in seismic activity caused by larger seismic events or by production blasts in order to define the area specific temporal exclusion zones and to guide the re-entry into the working places.

-Alerts. To detect strong and unexpected changes in the spatial and/or temporal behaviour of seismic parameters that could lead to instability and affect working places immediately or in the short term.

-Back-analysis. To improve both the mine design and the seismic monitoring processes.

-All seismic events regardless of size that caused fatality, injury or damage need to be back

-Analysed thoroughly. It is also advisable to back analyse all near misses, i.e. seismic events

-That did not result in consequences - but had the potential to do so. Results of back analysis

-should form the basis for a regular critical review of the applied seismic risk management

-Strategy, guidelines and procedures.
