Improve Underground Visibility. Support Safer Mining Operations.
Underground non-coal mines present challenges for personnel tracking, vehicle management, and daily safety operations. In long tunnels where GPS signals are unavailable, knowing where workers and vehicles are located can be difficult.
WOXU's UWB (Ultra-Wideband) positioning solution for non-coal mine tunnels helps improve underground visibility by providing real-time location information for tagged personnel and vehicles. With location monitoring, historical track playback, and intelligent security alarms, the system supports more efficient and informed mine management.
1. How the UWB Positioning Solution Works
WOXU's solution combines UWB anchors, personnel tags, vehicle tags, a location calculation engine, and positioning software to build an underground positioning system.
UWB anchors are deployed along the tunnel, while workers and vehicles carry corresponding positioning tags. Location data is transmitted through the network to the calculation engine and made available on the application platform.
This architecture enables managers to monitor location information and access positioning-related functions through a centralized system.
2. Key Features for Underground Mine Management
WOXU's UWB positioning solution supports several functions designed to improve operational visibility and personnel management.
The platform also supports intelligent attendance and video linkage, providing additional options for integrated mine management according to project requirements.
3. Flexible Deployment for Mine Tunnels
Different mine tunnels require positioning infrastructure suited to their layout and installation conditions. WOXU's solution supports typical and long-tunnel networking architectures, with anchors installed using wall mounting or pole installation.
According to WOXU's deployment guidance, the reference installation parameters are:
Maximum anchor spacing: 400 m
Installation height: 3–8 m
Positioning mode: One-dimensional positioning
Anchor quantity reference: (Tunnel length ÷ 400 m) + 1
The solution specifies Ethernet for anchor data backhaul and PoE modules for power supply. Final anchor placement and quantity should be evaluated according to the actual tunnel environment and project requirements.
4. A Practical Solution for Underground Operations
By combining UWB positioning infrastructure with personnel and vehicle tags, location calculation, and visualization software, WOXU helps mining operators gain clearer visibility into underground activities.
From real-time location monitoring to historical track review and safety alarm functions, the solution provides a foundation for more connected and efficient mine management.
Whether your project focuses on personnel positioning, vehicle tracking, or integrated underground monitoring, WOXU can discuss the appropriate system configuration based on your site layout and operational needs.
