Products
OUR CORE PRODUCTS INCLUDE
Underground Broadband Communications
One of the biggest challenges underground is communication between sites and the surface, especially as underground sites continue to have fewer people and higher automation. The powerful Spitfire® range of power line modems promotes assisted automation and improved mining operations by providing reliable underground communications using pilot or power cores.
Thermal and HD Cameras
Thermal and High Definition Cameras can add an important visual element to facilitate critical decision making in hazardous areas with impaired visibility. Applications include mobile machines with proximity awareness systems, loaders, graders, conveyor belts and transfer points.
IS Lights
Nautitech® lights can provide much needed visibility in complex underground conditions. Applications include longwall, BSL, continuous miners, shuttle cars, diesel, and other mobile machinery. Our IS lights offer flexible uses as reverse tail, headlights, traffic signals, hazard indicators, or general work area lighting. Combine with the Nautitech® HD Camera for real-time remote visibility.
Methane Monitoring Systems
Our methane shutdown and start up systems are designed to monitor and provide indication of the concentration of methane in hazardous environments. Applications include mobile plant such as diesel powered vehicles and other mining machinery. Choose from the SIL2 certified, intrinsically safe Cubex line or the original Methane Master, Australia’s leading shut-down and start-up system.
Hazardous Area Displays
Nautitech’s Ex d certified 3.5” and 7.0” displays are compatible with Nautitech® methane monitoring system as well as HD and thermal cameras. The user friendly and rugged displays offer critical data at a glance and can be used for a variety of applications including Development, Longwall, and diesel machinery.
