WHAT IT DOES

MSHA approved Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) Tags transmit an identifying signal to IS Smart Antenna 'Readers' located at strategic points throughout a mine. Readers transmit the location information via redundant to systems with monitors for displaying the information in map and table formats.

Approved for use in
West Virginia.
