FERREIRA CENTENO, Juan Pablo; NAVARRO TORRES, Vidal Félix  e  SILVEIRA, Leandro. Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology applied in underground mining. REV. MAMYM [online]. 2018, n.5, pp. 59-67. ISSN 2519-5352.

Abstract The developments of applied RFID technology overcome all supposedly insurmountable obstacles and limits because it allows monitoring everything that moves in the mine. These features make it possible to apply such technology for the comprehensive safety plan of the underground mine. For instance, this research paper presents "online" RFID technology applied to a full safety system for underground mines exploited by any mining method. This technology allows the identification of each worker, their functions and localization in the mine. On the other hand, it is applicable to the identification of the underground mine equipment and their movement, thus permitting to control productivity and safety.
