Case Study

Pinnsar continues to leverage APC Technology’s Contract Manufacturing Services to Ruggedise their real-time DPM Monitoring System

Pinssar, a leader in safety solutions for the mining industry, developed a robust solution to tackle the critical issue of diesel particulate matter (DPM) exposure in underground mining operations. Partnering with APC Technology, Pinssar’s DPM monitoring system was ruggedised to thrive in the demanding underground environment. This collaboration not only addresses an urgent safety concern but also aligns with APC Technology’s commitment to Innovative, Agile, and Reliable solutions.

Diesel particulate matter (DPM) exposure in underground mining is a serious health risk. Existing static solutions weren’t sufficient to continuously monitor DPM levels, leaving workers vulnerable in confined spaces. Pinssar sought a solution that would work in real-time, integrate seamlessly with existing systems, and support the verification of ventilation controls in mining operations.

The Pinssar Solution

Pinssar’s solution includes two primary components:

  • Pinssar DPR (Diesel Particulate Monitor): A ruggedised, fixed monitor that operates continuously, collecting DPM samples and transmitting real-time data to ensure 24/7 monitoring. This solution demonstrates Innovation—constantly evolving to meet the needs of a dynamic industry.
  • Pinssar Dashboard: An intuitive, configurable interface displaying DPM sample data and diagnostics. This flexible solution integrates smoothly with control systems and ventilation software, providing the Agility to adapt to various mining environments while ensuring Reliability in data accuracy.

The system allows real-time monitoring and supports compliance with Occupational Exposure Limits (OEL) and OH&S regulations. It contributes to the continuous improvement of safety measures, effectively addressing DPM exposure.

Key Benefits

  • Enhanced Safety: The solution significantly reduces DPM exposure, protecting workers and enhancing health and safety in confined mining spaces.
  • Confidence in Compliance: Real-time data supports OEL compliance, improving decision-making while ensuring safety standards are met without delay.
  • Operational Efficiency: By integrating with ventilation systems, the solution verifies the effectiveness of safety controls, reducing operational costs and contributing to efficiency.
  • Employer of Choice: By ensuring a healthier workplace, the system strengthens the company’s reputation as an employer committed to worker health and safety.
  • Regulatory Compliance: Supports adherence to BS:6164, maintaining a safe and compliant workplace.
  • Long-Term Impact: The solution drives continuous improvement by analising long-term data trends, ensuring safer, more sustainable mining operations.

APC Technology’s expertise in ruggedising the DPM system enabled Pinssar’s solution to perform reliably in the harsh conditions of underground mining.   Our Innovative approach transformed Pinssar’s design into a durable, dependable product, while our Agility ensured the solution adapted to the specific needs of the mining environment. By integrating proven technology with new solutions, we ensured Reliability in every aspect of the system’s performance.
