Mines and Tunnels
Underground and linear environments, such as mines and tunnels, present unique challenges for the safety and location of people and equipment. GPS signals are unavailable, structures are irregular, and conditions are often extreme. That's why at SafeLoc we've developed a specific solution that offers reliable traceability in these conditions, with simple installation and minimal infrastructure.

Protection in high-risk environments
Challenges
Underground environments present extreme conditions:
Poor visibility.
Risk of falls.
Explosions or collapses.
GPS, BLE or RFID do not work underground.
How Safeloc protects
Underground RTLS coverage in tunnels and galleries.
Control of authorized access in critical areas.
Fall detection and work at height with immediate alarms.
Real-time location for emergencies and evacuations.
Measurable impact
Significant reduction in mining accidents.
Faster and more accurate emergency response.
Compliance with safety regulations in civil works and mining.
