the components of a connected mine

With volatile commodity prices pushing the utilization rate of mining equipment to the limit, connected products optimise operations, increase control and reduce wastage. Revolutionary underground communication enables a multitude of smart applications.

Machine to machine automation and control bring digital life to mine machines. Production data collection and analytics enable effective decision-making. And critical safety solutions are made possible thanks to collision avoidance and transparent communication.

The Enabler

Wireless communication for underground applications, future-proofs your mine and enables a multitude of smart new solutions.

Accurate Decisions

Production data collection and analytics for informed and accurate decision-making.

Reduce Maintenance Costs

Maintenance need indication based on machine condition reports. Including edge-computing machine side instant diagnostics.

Profitable Productivity

Automation of any mining equipment supports consistent processes and raises productivity.

Smart Safety Solutions

Smart safety solutions from collision avoidance to instant alerts.

Data Driven

Operational improvements from machine and mine data that is securely recorded and transmitted, tailored to your mines specific requirements.

Mine Communication
Infrastructure

Due to tough working conditions and hazardous environments, efficient underground mining operations and effective mine safety relies heavily on stable and secure communication to the surface. Communication with the surface can be challenging, even in modern mines and working with a partner with decades of combined experience is vital for success.

neroPOYNT

Designed to enable underground communication by supplying a multi-band wireless infrastructure access point and underground mine antenna, all in a single product solution.

neroAMP

Designed to recompense the longitudinal loss down the length of the radiating cable. It offers the lowest noise contribution possible to a weak RF carrier when collocated with a strong carrier.

neroJOULE

A robust and reliable power supply designed to power the neroPLEXUS range of active underground amplifiers within the leaky feeder system. The neroJOULE is part of the neroPLEXUS Range.

neroMULTI

A multipurpose device specifically designed for quick repairs. It can be used as a power coupler or as a splice box (neroSPLICE) or end of line (neroEOL) or
cell isolator.

nero3WAY

The nero3WAY Splitter is used to split / branch RF and DC signals off the main arterial into two (2) separate directions allowing for custom changes to adapt to your existing mining or tunnel layout.

nero4WAY

The nero4WAY Splitter is used to split / branch RF and DC signals off the main arterial into three (3) separate directions allowing forcustom changes to adapt to your existing mining or tunnel layout.

neroSPLICE

The neroSPLICE box is used to connect or repair two (2) sections of radiating cable to each other. The unit couples both the RF and DC signals seamlessly between the joined sections with minimal losses to the system.

neroSTOPE

The neroSTOPE antennas were designed to offer rapid deployment in mining environments as an alternative to the neroEOL (End of Line) termination as it provides maximum coverage from the radiating cable.

neroEOL

The neroEOL (End Of Line) is used to prevent spurious radio frequency reflections within the cable. These reflections weaken the signals and affect the radiation shape emanating from the cable.

Machine Diagnostics and
Automation

An extensive product range underpinned by cutting edge capabilities providing the ability to monitor, control, and optimize performance and operations across mine equipment and systems. Our cutting-edge technology solutions are agnostic and fully compatible with any OEM partner.

neroHUB

The neroHUB provides a universal interface for Trackless Mining Machines (TMM) and Collision Warning Systems (CWS). It increases productivity and improves mine safety

nanoHUB

The nanoHUB is designed to be a ruggedized multipurpose personnel transport, data communications hub and black box data recorder

neroKEY.Status

The neroKEY is designed to control access to vehicles based on the permissions defined by the mine. Directly control the trackless mobile machine ignition system.

neroKEY.Ignition

Allows devices within a Vehicle Area Network (VAN) to communicate directly with companion sensors and actuators without physical wiring to the on machine neroHUB controller.

neroRELAY

The neroRELAY is a short circuit and over current protected automotive relay used to isolate neroHUB from OEM wiring.

neroVIEW.EX

The neroVIEW.EX is a flameproof 7.5″ fit for purpose man-machine (operator) interface to view the parameters, information and associated data.

neroVIEW.10

The neroVIEW.10 is a 10″rugged fit for purpose man-machine (operator) interface to view the parameters, information and measured data;

neroVIEW.7

The neroVIEW.7 is a 7.5″ rugged fit for purpose man-machine (operator) interface to view the parameters, information and measured data;

neroQUAD

The dual quadrature speed sensor was developed out of necessity to detect rollback conditions by monitoring wheel speed and transmission output.

neroSERVO

The neroSERVO facilitates a reliable, fail-to-safe method of controlling the accelerator of Mine Machines supported by self-monitoring and diagnosis.

neroSTICK

The neroSTICK provides a rugged joystick with an upright push-button interface to control the operation associated with the button presses.

neroSURGE

The neroSURGE is designed to provide specialized surge protection on the RS232, RS485 and CAN communication lines.

neroRADAR

The neroRADAR is a doppler shift 24Ghz radar sensor ideal for hydrostatic machines.

neroTROC

The neroTROC is an electronic throttle deacceleration device, designed to slow down mining machinery with ECU’s, by intercepting the foot pedal signals before they reach the ECU.

neroLINEAR

The neroLINEAR is designed to provide a digitally encoded signal for measuring linearmovements of actuators.

neroAUPS

An automotive uninterruptible power supply that will provide three (3) channels of regulated output DC supply from a wide input unregulated DC voltage
range as well as an additional 5 VDC output channels for standby devices.

neroPOD

A power output driver that allows low power control interfaces to drive high power output rails.

neroDAQ

The neroDAQ is a vehicular data acquisition IO expansion module to extend the neroHUB’s capabilities.

neroSCA

The neroSCA is a precision signal conditioning amplifier and analog input expander designed to condition signals before amplification to eliminate noise and or interference.

ORION UPS

The ORION Power Supply is an integrated solution to provide an uninterruptible power supply to underground communication infrastructure equipment.

neroGEAR

The neroGEAR is a dedicated electronic automatic gear controller.

neroWEAR

The neroWEAR is an industry first monitoring brake wear solution, which records live and historical break wear with micrometer accuracy.

Asset Management and
Tracking

With mining asset management and a range of IoT smart sensors including environmental sensor solutions, mines can operate more efficiently, with increased cost-effectiveness and environmentally friendly practises. Knowing the exact location of personnel and machinery also ensures safer working conditions.
