TopVu RFID Innovations

TopVu RFID Innovations designs and manufactures tracking systems for the mining. The core of TopVu’s tracking solutions is their user friendly enterprise software which includes features to reinforce safety procedures and boost emergency preparedness. TopVu’s flagship products include OTS Ore Tracking, eTag Board, Personnel Tracking, and Access Control.

 

In 2010, K4 Integration Inc. was chosen to deploy & commission a full communication system in a new underground hard rock mine. The system would carry 4 components: voice, video, data & tracking. While the system performed as per its intended scope, the capital expenditure was well beyond the million-dollar price tag. K4 Integration believed that small to medium mines would embrace a low-cost system that would focus on tracking needs only. In 2012, the R&D division “TopVu” was created. 

The TopVu division tested several technologies, and, added some patents along the way such as the flagship “eTag Board”.  The team concluded that passive RFID technology deployed with a checkpoint tracking strategy offered mining companies an effective solution at a very appealing price point. The simplicity of passive RFID ensured the systems were very reliable and serviceable by the mine’s own trade departments.
