Why your digital mine needs Proximity Detection When vehicles and personnel are travelling on the same shared roads and pathways, there is an inherent risk of collision. This is why it’s critical that all mining, industrial and construction operations invest in a reliable Proximity Detection system that puts a stop to potential risks before they arise. At MST Global, we have engineered a Proximity…
