As coal mines are now required by MSHA to deploy electronic tracking under the Miner Act of 2006, the widely deployed Tunnel Radio MineAx® RFID technology is used to provide very precise methane and hydrocarbon group gas measurement 24/7. For hard rock mines, where there is more of a concern about diesel exhaust becoming an problem, we have developed a 4-Gas board which senses Oxygen (O2), Carbon Monoxide (CO), Nitrogen Dioxide (NO), and Sulphur Dioxide (SO2).
This critical gas level information is transmitted wirelessly to the surface from the primary sources deep in the mine. These sensors, installed in our wireless readers, will operate on battery power and provide underground personnel location and gas levels simultaneously to surface computer displays.

The unit also transmits temperature, humidity and barometric pressure readings, providing atmospheric data helpful in evaluating overall mine ventilation system effectiveness, a critical factor in recent mine disasters.
Incorporating the most advanced digital technology available, we provide you with a modern laboratory within a mine. Information may now be viewed from the comfort of the office, home, or Head Quarters. Simply gain access to the local mine computer via the internet, or through the use of most smart devices.
Tunnel Radio feels this is a win for miner safety and the industry. Our design team is committed to producing safety related products that improve your lives and working environments.
