IntelliZone® Proximity Detection System

For Underground Mobile Equipment in Coal or Metal/Non-Metal Mining Operations

IntelliZone enhances miner safety without degrading productivity levels.

The Matrix IntelliZone^® proximity detection system allows users to create shaped, customized Caution, Shutdown and Operator Zones around all mobile equipment. IntelliZone technology detects workers in low-visibility or obscured line-of-sight locations. Zones automatically extend or contract based on mobile equipment speed.

Unlike bubble-zone systems, IntelliZone’s patented shaped zone technology minimizes nuisance alerts without impacting production. All components of the Matrix IntelliZone system are extremely durable, simple to operate and easy to maintain.

Shaped, dynamic zones for precise worker location
Requires workers to wear a personal device
Lowest cost of ownership
For all section mobile equipment and light-duty vehicles
Proven in U.S. and South African mines
Robust and compact locators
MSHA approved
SANS 60079-0/1/11/18 approved
IECEx approved

Proximity detection and spatial awareness are key parts of Matrix’s
Path to Automation.

SharpZone^TMTechnology for Precise Programmable Awareness Zones

Matrix’s leading-edge SharpZone technology creates equipment-specific straight line and angled safety areas for the most effective Caution and Shutdown zones. These zones help protect miners from mobile equipment injuries and minimize nuisance warningsor shutdown. For example:

Mobile haulage awareness zones vary based
on speed and direction of travel. Higher speed
means longer forward zones to allow for higher stoppage time.
Mobile haulage awareness zones can “see” through curtains to help avoid worker collisions.
Zones around CM tail automatically shrink in
cutting mode and expand while tramming.
Customized “green” zones can be generated within the awareness zones to allow operators to stand, kneel or, if appropriate, ride in safe locations
without setting off a zone alert.

Forward Zones Extend as Speed Increases

As shuttle car or loader speed increases, the forward zones increase in length to
accommodate the longer required stopping time.The zones can “see”
through barrier curtains which helps protect workers.

For higher-speed operations, Matrix offers a long-range driver. Click here for more information
