Ventilate Before Anyone Has to Ask

Continuous gas and environmental monitoring that boosts ventilation automatically when a reading crosses the limit, paired with haul-fleet tracking and worker-safety alerting across the site.

The Business Challenge

Harsh, Remote, and Hard to See Into

Mining is unforgiving of blind spots. A gas pocket, a haul truck in the wrong place, or a worker out of contact can each turn into a safety incident — and on a remote site, ordinary connectivity often dies exactly where visibility matters most. Connected sensing turns those blind spots into a live signal you can watch and act on.

Gas & Ventilation Risk

Gas can build up faster than manual checks catch — a constant hazard in enclosed and underground areas.

Harsh, Remote, No Signal

Dust, distance and terrain defeat ordinary connectivity, leaving large parts of the site effectively blind.

Haul Fleet Blind Spots

Without live location, dispatch can't confirm where a haul vehicle is or whether it's near a restricted zone.

People in Harm's Way

Workers near heavy machinery or in remote zones are hard to locate and protect when seconds matter.

A Site That Ventilates and Watches Itself

Gas and temperature sensors across the site, a live map of haul routes and safety zones, and ventilation that auto-boosts the moment a reading crosses its limit — this is the same engine and scenario running at demos.barquecontech.com, embedded live below.

Architecture

How the Data Actually Flows

From a gas sensor on site to a ventilation fan ramping up and a crew alert — the same path the live demo above runs on.

Gas & Env Sensors

Gas concentration, temperature, environment telemetry

Rugged Mesh Gateway

Built for dust, distance and site terrain

Threshold Rules

Gas limit checks, geofence and proximity logic

Automatic Response

Ventilation ramps up, alarm sounds on breach

Site Dashboard

Live map, gas readings and fleet position

What's In the Kit

What a Deployment Includes

The building blocks we combine to fit open-cut or underground operations.

Gas & Ventilation Monitoring

Continuous gas and environment sensing that ramps ventilation and alarms automatically at threshold.

Haul Fleet Tracking

GPS and fuel tracking with geofenced pit zones for haul vehicles and high-value equipment.

Worker Safety & Location

Location and proximity alerts so no one is unaccounted for near heavy machinery or restricted zones.

Site Operations Dashboard

Live map, alert feed and gas-reading history for the team managing the site day to day.

Automated Ventilation Control

Fans and vents that respond directly to gas thresholds, without waiting on a manual call.

Compliance Records

Logged gas, ventilation and location history you can hand to an auditor on request.

Integrations

Connects Into What You Already Run

Site data is only useful where your operations team already works — we integrate rather than replace.

Mine Operations Systems

Feed live gas readings and fleet position into the operations system your control room uses.

Regulatory Reporting

Tie logged gas and ventilation history back to the compliance reports you already file.

Alerting Channels

Push gas-threshold and proximity alerts to SMS, radio or a channel your site team already watches.

ROI

What Continuous Monitoring Changes

Concrete outcomes from putting a live gas and location signal across the site.

Faster

ventilation response to a gas threshold breach — automatic, instead of waiting on a manual check.

Clearer

visibility of haul-fleet position and restricted-zone proximity across the whole site.

Fewer

unaccounted-for-worker incidents once location and proximity alerts are live across the site.

Directional outcomes based on what continuous gas and location monitoring make visible — we'll size the specific case against your site during a pilot.
