WHERE SAFETY MEETS YOUR BLAST SCHEDULE
Where difficult conditions exist and your nearest exit is kilometres away, Crew Companion is the answer for the safety of your staff: a scalable and customisable personnel monitoring solution specifically designed to meet your organisation’s safety needs in the mining industry. Ensure your underground and open-pit operations are visible and therefore manageable – all in line with the most advanced HSE and business requirements.
If you are looking for a reliable proven alternative to manual access and exit routines in mines, want to improve your blasting performance at the same time, and increase overall efficiency, why not benefit from an automated solution that delivers all personnel location data in one dashboard? Developed specifically to address the complex demands of the mining industry, Crew Companion delivers an automated safety system that combines flexible hardware and software. It offers real-time information on your staff's location exactly when and where you need it.
Real time headcount underground
Crew Companion uses a personnel transponder that is easily carried in a pocket or around the neck. It helps the control room operator know exactly where personnel are - at all times, and to ensure they are well clear when it nears blast time. If an emergency occurs, Crew Companion lets the operator know if people have reached designated safe areas or exited the mine.
The reliable and robust design of the solution draws on decades of on-the-job experience and close collaboration with the industry, providing you with a solution exceeding the most stringent regulatory requirements. In the event of an emergency, Crew Companion provides details on missing personnel at a glance. It shows exactly where the person was last seen, making sure assistance can be provided quickly and exactly where needed.
MODULAR DESIGN FOR INDIVIDUAL NEEDS
A fully scalable and customisable solution, Crew Companion allows you to add and remove mustering zones with minimum effort. Several thousand transponders can be added to the system, making it very scalable to fit your individual needs. It is easy to install and maintain all areas of your mine. It is the only system on the market that is intrinsically safe and doesn’t require heavy steel enclosures to meet ATEX requirements.
Crew Companion features several integrated optional modules, all built on a highly dependable backbone. Based on industry best practices, it is fully automated without the need for swiping cards or other manual actions, eliminating the risk of human error.
Mobile Identity Check
The Mobile Identity Check feature increases safety and improves efficiency during an emergency enabling identity verification and including an offline mode to mitigate network connectivity issues. The explosion-proof system provides you with an automated headcount per mustering zone including real-time and rapid identification of missing personnel.
Crew Companion includes an access control system for all the entry and exit points of your mine which works with the same transponder worn by your personnel.
