Omnicore Dispatch: Mining Blast Alarms (Video)

Omnicore Background Dispatch Setup

Tait Technology Partners are no strangers to innovation and helping critical industry workers stay safe and sound. The latest development from Omnitronics’ omnicore dispatch software is the implementation of a blast alarm workflow that ensures assets and personnel are evacuated when a controlled explosion occurs throughout a mine site.

The global mining sector has undergone rapid growth in the past two decades, and this is set to continue. Global production of minerals, fuels and metal ores has grown from 11.3 billion tonnes in 2000 to 17.3 billion in 2020 – a 52% increase- and demand for minerals and metals will increase six times by 2040. Investment in new technologies and processes to help keep workers safe needs to match pace with the industry’s massive growth.

  • All current 9000 series DMR and P25 mobiles and portables support Blast Alarms
  • Any 9000 series radio can be used to trigger an alarm, so alarms do not have to be generated by a dispatch console
  • Consoles such as Omnitronics can be connected to Tait P25 and DMR networks, and can be used to trigger blast alarms.
  • TAIT AXIOM Mobiles with AppBuilder can also be used to set more sophisticated or customized workflows and triggers for alarms.

Tait DMR is a digital communications platform that supports both voice and data, with highly flexible solutions designed for maximum reliability.
