Modular Mining Systems, a leader in informational management solutions for operations, has released the ShiftBossTM Mine Production Tracking System. This program allows mines to use the effective production tracking and crew management capabilities associated with Modular® products, as well as a number of new material management and safety features. One such feature, the MineCompass navigation map, displays all equipment and locations positions to operators and can send out hazard and speeding alerts to help promote safe behaviour. Additionally, Store&Forward technology provides on-board data buffering when equipment units are out of wireless network range, ensuring production data reliability.
“The ShiftBoss application provides operators with a fully automated experience, recording production with minimal user interaction,” says Stephane Cantin, Product Manager. “Customers can obtain the system at an affordable price, and its Store&Forward capabilities allow mines to significantly reduce the required amount of network infrastructure.”
Modular says that ShiftBoss 1.0 shares several core components with the DISPATCH® NextGen product line, due to be released next year, allowing an incremental upgrade path to customers that want automated production tracking without the expense of full scale optimised mine management. www.modularmining.com
