Gas monitoring in the past is required an extensive list of equipment for your mining site. Customized gas monitoring often required multiple sensors, extensive calibration and training on the part of many employees. With a simple hand-held readout monitor that operates on a wireless data system, you can get a reliable gas monitoring that you need in some of the most difficult environments on earth.

Becker Mining America’s smartsense unit is a gas monitor that uses an onboard computer to automatically calibrate the sensors. The monitor can be placed in the mining area and left there for an entire shift. It will take readings regularly and send the data wirelessly to a central location. If the any harmful gas level  is detected, an alarm will go off and the miners can be evacuated immediately.

This system is much easier to use than the old systems, and it is more accurate as well. The best part about it is that you can customize it to your specific needs. You can calibrate the system based off of the needs of your mining site as well as generate automatic reports of incidents or ongoing gas levels in areas of the mine site.

Having these tools at your fingertips can help to eliminate inefficiency in your mining site as well as reduce costs. One handheld device can reduce your maintenance costs as well as the process of set up and calibration.
