Mine Slope Safety Monitoring Solution

Background Introduction

Mines provide robust support for national economic development; however, the mining process is inherently hazardous. Influenced by geographic and geological conditions, hazards such as debris flows, landslides, mine collapses, and earthquakes pose significant threats to the working environment and the personal safety of miners.

Online monitoring of mine slopes enables real-time surveillance and early warning for key geological hazard risk points; however, mining areas are typically located far from populated regions, resulting in highly unstable network coverage that hinders the system’s ability to deliver timely monitoring and predictive alerts. Moreover, the underground environment in mines is extremely complex, making cable-laying and wiring operations exceedingly challenging—time-consuming, labor-intensive, and fraught with difficulties in ensuring the safety, stability, and long-term continuous operation of the monitoring system.

Solution Overview

To meet the need for automated safety monitoring of mine slopes, Spepc Technology has launched a one-stop online safety monitoring and early-warning solution for mine slopes. Leveraging emerging technologies such as InSAR, edge computing, LoRa communication, low-power technology, IoT, and cloud computing, the company has built a Beidou-plus-multi-sensor fusion mine safety monitoring system that enables real-time monitoring of a wide range of parameters, including surface displacement, internal displacement, groundwater level, rainfall, video, blasting vibration, tilt angle, and cracks. By employing diversified communication methods such as 4G, Beidou, LoRa, and fiber optics, the system ensures secure data transmission. The cloud-based early-warning system facilitates real-time collection, transmission, computation, and analysis of monitoring data, allowing for continuous tracking of the overall safety status and development trends of the slope. This provides mining enterprises with convenient and efficient project safety management tools, thereby enhancing the safe operation and protection of open-pit mines.
