PlasmaTech, Inc. Products Specified for Mine Safety and Emergency Response
March 11 2010 - 6:00AM
Business Wire
PlasmaTech (Pink Sheets:PMAH) announced that its products have
been specified to be deployed in a total of 30 gold mines
throughout South America for worker safety and emergency
response.
PlasmaTech anticipates that each mine will install a minimum of
six PlasmaTech wireless hand-held HMU900 data collection devices
and a minimum of three 900 Prime fixed control devices. PlasmaTech
has already delivered its first system, and it is fully
functional.
The PlasmaTech solution enhances worker safety and emergency
response in the event of an industrial accident necessitating
evacuation of the mine. Each miner entering the mine wears an RFID
(radio frequency identification) tag, enabling PlasmaTech’s 900
Prime device to gather data and wirelessly transmit the data to a
computerized personnel tracking system.
In any evacuation emergency, emergency response teams must know
who has safely evacuated a mine and what personnel remains in the
mine. This can be easily accomplished using PlasmaTech’s wireless
hand-held MHU device. With all miners instructed to muster in a
specific safe location as far as 3,000 feet from any of multiple
900 Prime readers, PlasmaTech’s hand-held data collection device
enables emergency personnel to quickly determine the whereabouts of
all workers.
In the event of an emergency, first responders can often
determine within minutes—instead of hours or even days—who is
safely out of the mine and who is not. Shortened response time
typically translates to increased survival rate in any such
event.
“This is a world-class example of how PlasmaTech’s products can
help solve real issues and possibly save lives,” stated Marvin
Williams, CEO of PlasmaTech. “The installation also demonstrates
our ability to add value to both passive and active RFID solutions.
We expect these South American installations will serve to showcase
how PlasmaTech’s technology can be put to work to provide
additional safety to mines throughout the world.”
Management expressed its appreciation to 1st Choice Security
Solutions Inc., with whom it worked closely in integrating
PlasmaTech’s products within existing RFID solutions. “By working
with companies like 1st Choice Security Solutions, PlasmaTech
expects to accelerate achievement of its global sales initiatives,”
added Williams.
