Instrument the task
Tags, wearables, environmental instruments and machine interfaces. Record device identity, calibration status and measurement method.
TECHNOLOGY & INTEGRATION
From a field signal
to verified action.
Define the information contract before connecting the systems: identifiers, units, quality flags, timestamps, update rates and ownership.
Process at the edge
Time-stamp observations, flag invalid readings and buffer records where supported. Preserve approved local functions during a backhaul interruption.
Transport securely
Use surveyed coverage, controlled backhaul and suitable power resilience. Agree latency, availability and authorised data routes.
Build operational context
Join an observation to its person, asset, zone and shift. Show freshness, uncertainty and missing information.
Assign and verify response
Route exceptions to a named role. Retain acknowledgement, escalation, action and closure evidence.
DESIGN FOR NETWORK REALITY
Three states.
Three clear behaviours.
Current information
Updates arrive within verified coverage and the agreed delivery latency.
Local resilience
Approved local functions continue and supported records buffer for later reconciliation.
Visible uncertainty
No new remote reading or alert can arrive. Show last-known data and invoke agreed local procedures.
INTERFACES & ASSURANCE
Integrate what
the system supports.
Evaluate authorised APIs, OPC UA or MQTT against the actual equipment and security architecture. Agree access boundaries and change control with the mine’s IT and OT teams.
- Unique person and asset identities
- Time synchronisation and observation quality
- Restricted operational and health data access
- Network segmentation and authorised interfaces
- Recovery, backup and retention requirements
- Field-tested acceptance and operational handover
