Mining audits: RFID Tracers and Simulants

We provide an integrated solution for improving ore extraction efficiencies and minimise losses with real-time, data driven process metrics.

WHAT we OFFER

We integrate into existing mining operations to improve ore sorting processes. Using our own in-house developed solution, we are able to provide real-time feedback of ore sorting efficiency.

Diamond

Coal

Iron

and more…

How it works

Our solution relies on tracer cubes that simulate the relevant ore and are sorted accordingly.

1

Tracer Insertion

Ore + RFID tracers inserted at ingress of sorting process. All tracers are detected here by an Audex antenna

2

Sorting process

Inserted material is sorted according to the mineral property using sorting methods such as DMS, XRT, and XRL)

3

Sorting analysis

We extract efficiency metrics by analysing the sorting process’s accuracy.

4

Process optimisation

Losses can be pinpointed and corrected.

Sorting methodologies

Our tracers mimic mineral ore in a variety of ways, from density to luminosity, and more. This allows the tracers to be used in any of the following ore sorting methods:

Dense Medium Seperation (DMS)

X-Ray Transmission (XRT)

X-Ray Luminescence (XRL)

RFID tracers, various sizes and colors available
