Compliance is the floor. Going home safe is the point.

On a South African mine, the Mine Health and Safety Act sets non-negotiable requirements — and keeping people and trackless machinery apart, knowing who's underground, controlling exposures and watching a tailings dam are daily realities, not paperwork. addanode delivers MHSA-aligned monitoring that protects your people, satisfies the inspector, and keeps production moving — surface and underground.

The reality on a mine

Four pressures, one platform.

People & machines must stay apart

TMM-to-pedestrian and TMM-to-TMM collisions are the headline risk — and 8.10.1 now expects the machine to intervene, not just warn.

You must be able to find people

In an emergency, "who signed in" isn't enough — 16.7 expects last-known location to direct rescue and account for everyone.

Exposures harm over a career

Dust, gas, DPM, noise and heat do slow damage; periodic spot samples miss the peaks that matter.

Unplanned downtime is brutal

A failed mill, conveyor or pump — or a tailings or ventilation problem — costs a shift or worse, often with no warning.

What we deploy

Safety, compliance and uptime on one platform.

Collision Prevention
MHSA 8.10.1

EMESRT Level 9 TMM proximity detection that detects, warns and intervenes, with event logging.

MHSA 16.7

Intrinsically safe last-known-location for emergency response and evacuation.

Learn more →

Occupational Hygiene

Real-time dust, gas, DPM, noise and heat with alerts and compliance records.

Learn more →

Ventilation Monitoring

Airflow and gas assurance plus ventilation-on-demand to cut a major energy bill.

Tailings Dam Monitoring

Real-time piezometer, displacement and level data with trigger levels — supporting GISTM conformance.

Why addanode for mining

Built for the conditions, supported locally.

The detail matters underground: detection proven for dust, curves and reflective metal; intrinsic-safety certification where the atmosphere demands it; collision systems that intervene (EMESRT Level 9), not just beep; edge buffering so a power dip never erases a safety record; and one platform so collision, person location, hygiene, ventilation, tailings and asset health share a backbone and a control room. Because we build the hardware and software in-house and support it locally, your safety-critical systems get fast local support.

It all runs on the in-house addaNet platform — see the full mining optimisation solution for how it fits together.

Regulatory references are for orientation; confirm current requirements against the latest Mine Health and Safety Act, its regulations and your appointed advisers.

Frequently asked

Mining questions we answer.

Most enquiries start with a compliance requirement and end with the realisation that the same platform also protects uptime.

We deploy proximity detection on trackless mobile machinery that warns operators and pedestrians and can trigger automatic intervention — slowing and braking the machine — to the EMESRT Level 9 standard, with every event logged. See the collision-prevention solution.
Yes. Intrinsically safe person-location tags and readers provide last-known location and movement history, so in an emergency you can account for people and direct rescue quickly. See person location.
Yes. We read piezometers, displacement/survey, level and flow instruments continuously, with trigger-level alerting that supports GISTM conformance — working from your engineer of record's instrumentation plan. See our tailings monitoring guide.
Yes. It runs on addaNet and integrates with existing SCADA, fleet-management and reporting systems via standard protocols, so safety, hygiene, ventilation and asset data sit in one picture and one set of compliance records.
Yes. Edge devices buffer locally and sync when power and connectivity return, and safety functions fail safe — so an outage never erases a record or leaves a working place unmonitored.
