Reservoir TrucksExact Filling and Traceability
Sprinkler systems in mining are often operated with reservoir trucks that are supplied with water via a filling system. An RFID system offers the ideal solution for adjusting the amount of water to the capacity. At the same time, the traceability of the vehicle can be ensured.
First, the UB*-30GM ultrasonic sensor detects the presence of the water truck. The robust F192 RFID read/write device then identifies the vehicle via a UHF tag, which can be attached directly to the metal tank. The measured values are forwarded to the flow transmitter via the RFID evaluation unit and the controller. This ensures optimum water flow at all times. Furthermore, the UHF tag can store additional information about the vehicle, such as its real-time status or location.
RFID SolutionsEfficiently Controlling Mining Processes
Modern RFID solutions are increasingly being used for identification tasks in the mining industry. In our blog post, you can find out how processes in mines can be efficiently controlled and monitored with RFID technology.
One of the most important applications of RFID systems in the mining sector is asset management. The RFID tags attached to the equipment enable real-time tracking and data collection, ensuring that each peace of equipment is used efficiently. RFID systems are also critical to improving inventory control. By tagging raw materials, finished products, and even spare parts, mining companies can maintain accurate records of stock levels.
