Leading original-equipment manufacturer Schauenburg Systems excels not only in system integration but also in delivering comprehensive turnkey solutions designed for the demanding conditions of mining operations.

Schauenburg Systems’ roots trace back to the development of MIMACS, an IoT-based solution that marked the company’s initial steps into transforming mining operations with technology. This initiative has evolved into what is now known as SmartMine IoT, a sophisticated platform designed to turn raw data into actionable insights that drive safety and efficiency across all levels of mining operations.

The company’s nationwide presence and extensive experience enable it to offer unique insights through Schauenburg Systems’ Collision Prevention Systems (CPS). These systems are designed to enhance safety in underground, surface and quarry operations, helping companies achieve Level 9 compliance. With more than 3 500 systems deployed since 2005, Schauenburg stands at the forefront of CPS technology, providing real-time visibility that empowers stakeholders with crucial information when it matters most.

Schauenburg Systems also offers a comprehensive range of gas detection products that are vital for safety in mining and industrial settings. The company’s portable gas detection systems, including the notable GDI Sentinel, are designed for harsh environments, featuring robust capabilities such as multiple gas detection, long battery life and inductive charging. For more stationary needs, Schauenburg Systems’ fixed gas detection solutions are custom-designed to monitor industrial environments reliably.

Additionally, the GDI SmartConnex system represents a significant advancement towards integrated smart safety systems, providing a connected worker ecosystem with comprehensive safety features.

In environments as perilous as mines, the importance of reliable and robust safety equipment is paramount. Schauenburg Systems’ offerings are tailored to withstand the harsh conditions of African mines, ensuring the safety of the workforce while enhancing operational efficiency. The company’s equipment is meticulously engineered to detect fire, hazardous gases and poisonous substances, and to prevent heavy vehicle collisions.
