Precise control of deep mines: Feiyuanguangdian’s personnel positioning has become an essential standard feature for smart mines.

Deep underground, tunnels crisscross in every direction, machinery runs ceaselessly, and the faint glow of miners’ lamps weaves through the darkness. This is both the core hub of energy production and a top priority for safety management. As the nation accelerates its drive to build smart mines, the “Guiding Opinions on Deeply Advancing Smart Mine Construction to Promote Safe Mine Development” explicitly calls for the widespread adoption of high-precision underground personnel positioning, the establishment of an all‑time, end‑to‑end data collection and transmission system, and the strengthening of mine safety safeguards. How can we address the industry’s longstanding pain points—difficulties in locating personnel, slow dispatching, and weak emergency response? How can underground operations shift from “blind control” to “precise and efficient”? With years of dedicated expertise in smart mining, Feiyuanguangdian has made technological innovation its cornerstone. Its Feiyuanguangdian Personnel Positioning System, with its comprehensive functional advantages and proven performance in real-world applications, is rapidly replacing traditional management approaches and becoming an essential standard configuration for numerous mining enterprises undergoing transformation and upgrading.

I. Addressing Pain Points in Deep-Mine Management: From “Reactive Response” to “Proactive Prevention and Control”

For a long time, the underground working environment has been characterized by complexity, confined spaces, and severe signal interference, posing persistent challenges to traditional personnel management approaches: entry and exit from the mine rely on manual registration, making it prone to violations such as job substitution and unauthorized impersonation, with data accuracy difficult to ensure; the distribution and movement patterns of underground personnel cannot be monitored in real time, leading to delays in dispatching instructions and resulting in inefficient use of manpower; critical areas lack effective control, increasing the risk of unauthorized access, and during emergencies, it is challenging to quickly pinpoint the location of trapped workers, significantly undermining rescue efficiency. These pain points not only hinder improvements in mining productivity but also pose serious risks to the safety and lives of workers.

The practical application of Feiyuanguangdian’s Personnel Positioning System has completely broken this impasse. Unlike traditional positioning devices with single functions, this system leverages multi-source fusion positioning technology to establish an “all‑round, high‑precision, all‑weather” intelligent sensing network for underground spaces, effectively equipping mines with a “smart central hub.” On the dispatch center’s visualized large screen, real-time locations, movement trajectories, dwell times in specific areas, and identity information of underground personnel are readily visible; it even supports three‑dimensional intuitive displays. From the macroscopic workface down to the granular management of individual workers, operations are made fully transparent, thoroughly resolving the longstanding challenges of traditional management—“unable to see, unable to hear, unable to find.” This provides robust data support for mine safety management and production scheduling, marking a fundamental shift from “reactive response” to “proactive prevention and control.”

II. Technological Innovation: Beyond Precise Positioning, It Enables Intelligent End-to-End Control

Feiyuanguangdian firmly believes that the core value of a mine personnel Positioning System extends far beyond “positioning” itself. Through sustained R&D investment, Feiyuanguangdian has overcome the bottleneck in chip technology, integrated the advantages of UWB, Bluetooth, RTK, and other technologies, and deeply fused positioning, communication, sensing, data analytics, and biometric identification to create a multi-dimensional, end-to-end intelligent management platform. This transforms positioning data into tangible management efficiency, driving the intelligent upgrade of mining operations.

The core features of Feiyuanguangdian’s Personnel Positioning System stand out, aligning closely with the actual operational needs of mines:

• High‑precision multi‑mode positioning: Flexibly switches between area‑based and real‑time continuous positioning modes to meet the diverse needs of mining environments, delivering dynamic positioning accuracy down to the centimeter level and static accuracy better than 0.3 meters. Coverage extends to critical areas such as main and auxiliary shaft entrances, haulage roadways, working faces, and refuge chambers, effectively addressing industry‑wide challenges like positioning drift and signal blockage in complex settings.

• End-to-end intelligent attendance management: Integrating biometric authentication technologies such as facial recognition and iris recognition, this system achieves deep integration of “facial‑recognition‑based automatic badge issuance, unique access control, and precise positioning of personnel underground,” effectively preventing unauthorized substitutions and impersonation. It automatically records workers’ entry and exit times, underground work durations, and location‑specific stay patterns, generating accurate attendance reports that significantly enhance management efficiency and reduce manual calculation costs.

• Intelligent Early Warning and Risk Prevention: The system can establish electronic fences around restricted underground zones and hazardous work areas. If personnel enter without authorization or remain stationary for an extended period (potentially indicating an accident), the system immediately triggers a dual alarm—audible, visual, and vibratory—and simultaneously sends an alert to the dispatch center, enabling early detection and proactive risk mitigation. It also supports low‑battery alerts for positioning tags and over‑capacity alarms, providing all‑round protection to strengthen safety safeguards.

• One-Click Emergency Response: When personnel underground encounter an emergency, they can initiate an alarm by pressing the emergency call button on the integrated “lamp‑card” positioning terminal. The system instantly pinpoints their exact location, automatically calculates the optimal rescue route, and simultaneously verifies the number and distribution of personnel underground, thereby gaining critical time for rescue operations and maximizing the safety of lives.

III. Empowering Mines Through Real-World Applications: A Two-Way Pursuit of Efficiency and Safety

Truly excellent products ultimately stand the test of real-world application. Since its launch, Feiyuanguangdian’s Personnel Positioning System has been widely deployed across various sectors, including coal mines, non-coal mines, and municipal tunnels, demonstrating its value in practical use and serving as a “dual guardian” for efficient production and safety management in mining operations.

At the production scheduling level, managers can use real-time data from Feiyuanguangdian’s Positioning System to accurately track the distribution and operational status of underground personnel, scientifically optimize task assignment and vehicle/material routing, reduce time spent searching for and waiting for personnel, avoid wasting manpower and materials, and effectively improve overall mine productivity. One partner mine reported that after implementing this system, underground scheduling efficiency increased by more than 30%, labor costs decreased by 15%, and production performance improved significantly.

At the level of safety management, this system is truly irreplaceable. In day-to-day operations, it standardizes the work behaviors of underground personnel, prevents unauthorized entry into hazardous areas, and thereby reduces the incidence of safety incidents at the source. During emergency drills or actual accidents, it serves as the command center’s “decision‑making brain,” rapidly verifying the number of personnel underground, pinpointing trapped locations, guiding orderly evacuations, and directing rescue teams to carry out targeted interventions, significantly enhancing the mine’s intrinsic safety performance. Meanwhile, the deployment of this system has further strengthened the enterprise’s safety culture, bolstered employees’ sense of safety and belonging, and injected powerful momentum into the safe and stable development of the mine.
