RFID tagboards for mining operations

Know who's on site.

People tag on at a board on the way in. Supervisors see who is on site, which company they’re with and how long they’ve been there, on a dashboard, a wallboard and in alerts.

  • Works through network drops
  • No-login TV wallboard
  • Built for contractor workforces

How it works

Three parts. One answer.

A tag, a board and a cloud service that agree on who is on site.

  1. 01

    Tag on at the board

    Each person carries a UHF RFID tag. They tag on at a wall-mounted tagboard on the way in and tag off on the way out.

  2. 02

    The board reports in

    The tagboard syncs to the cloud every minute over Wi-Fi and keeps its own journal, so a dropped network or a power cut doesn’t lose a read.

  3. 03

    Everyone sees the same answer

    Dashboard, TV wallboard, history and alerts all derive from the same presence engine. Who’s on site means one thing, everywhere.

The tagboard

A reader made for the wall by the portal.

UHF RFID, Wi-Fi, a green status light you can see from across the room, and enough on-board memory to keep scanning through an outage.

  • UHF RFID (EPC Gen2 / ISO 18000-6C) with printable card tags
  • Enrolled in minutes with a QR code and a one-time setup PIN
  • 4,096-record journal that survives network and power loss
  • Signed firmware updates rolled out over the air
Hardware details

Where it’s used

Mining first.

Built for the reasons mine sites keep a tag board: firing clearance, emergency accounting, and contractor workforces that move between sites.

Underground

The board exists so nobody fires while a person is underground, and so the mine can say who is underground in an emergency. Tagview puts that board in the control room, kept current every minute.

Open pit

Blast clearance is done by guards and sweepers. Tagview gives the blast controller and the emergency controller a live list of who is on site, by company, to check the sweep and the muster against.

Surface plant and shutdowns

Contractor crews arrive in numbers for a short time. Set them up as companies, track their inductions and tickets, and have a live list to check off at the assembly area.

Built for site reality

Sites are not offices.

The things that break attendance systems on a mine site are handled on the board and in the cloud, not left to the installer.

Network drops
Reads are journaled on the board and only cleared once the cloud acknowledges them.
Power cuts
On restart the board restores its last confirmed set. Nobody is marked absent by a reboot.
Timezones and DST
Every site has its own timezone. Shift-end flags are evaluated in local time, daylight saving included.
Firmware updates
Signed over-the-air updates, rolled out in stages, with a health check before and after.

People. Presence. Clarity.
