American Mine Research's Active Mine Net Tag received MSHA approval number 23-A070007-0
American Mine Research's Mine Net Tracking System receives approval from the State of West Virginia. Please review the following official statement.
The MC-4210-CO/NO Diesel Nullifying Gas Monitor has been designed to significantly reduce the nuisance alarms associated with using diesel equipment in coal mines. In addition to emitting carbon monoxide (CO), the diesel engine also emits nitric oxide (NO) in a CO/NO ratio. However, the ratio will vary based on machine and installation location.
AMR has developed an intrinsically safe two-way communication text messaging device based on its Smart Readers, the same readers that control AMR's Tagging and Tracking products through its mine monitoring system. One mine monitoring system (over fiber or copper) for gas/belt/circuit breaker monitoring, tagging/tracking, and mine-wide two-way communications! Compose, send, receive, and save messages with this universal intelligent handheld RF device.
The 2007 Coal Show at the Brushfork Armory in Bluefield, WV had over 6,400 attendants this year. AMR's booth with the introduction of the Tagging and Tracking System attracted many attendees.
With the recent tragedies occurring in the mining industry over the past few years and the passage of new safety legislation, improving mine safety has never been more important. For over 30 years, AMR has set the standard in enhancing mine safety and productivity through our exclusive line of products. Now, AMR has developed a unique tagging, tracking and messaging system. As with the entire AMR product line,
it is flexible, reliable and attractively-priced.
As technology changes in the mining industry, we at AMR strive to satisfy the needs of the growing industry. Our new Ethernet-based Mine Wide Monitoring System applies the latest in technology available today. Utilizing a fiber optic backbone and our Modbus Gateway Remote Stations, gas/belt monitoring has never been easier.
The Data Acquisition Display, or “DAD” greatly expands maintenance personnel's ability to monitor and troubleshoot the entire MC-4000 system while inside the mine. The “DAD” virtually eliminates time spent communicating with personnel outside the mine at the Master Station.
