It records a history of the specific anchor's tension and thus can give indications of what is happening in the rock in real time. Monitoring is from a PC, tablet or smartphone
About
The E M C A specifically to accurately measure pressures and tensions in rock anchors. It does not rely on people as a primary warning system - rather it becomes the primary warning system by actively monitoring tension in every anchor it is fitted to.
Key Benefits
1. Realtime monitoring of roch stability. 2. Once installed, it creates a mesh WiFi network which can be harnested for multiple benefits undrground. 3. Through its mesh network, can be utilised to track the movement/actual locations of machinery and personnel underground. 4. Can be utilesed for conveyor belt monitoring. 5. Can be used to monitor to monitor stability of benches and highwalls in opencast mines. 6. Posibility for voice communication in future.
Applications
1. Monitoring of rock stabilty. 2. Fire detection 3. Personnel and machinery locations. 4. Moitring dam levels . 5. Monitoring conveyore belts
