  • November, 2006: "RFID tracks-and-traces miners and equipment"

In Australia, the BHP Billiton Mitsubishi Alliance has rolled out RFID technology in mines, giving it the ability to track and trace over 17,000 individual items of equipment and mine personnel in a real-time environment.

"We now have 300 mine personnel with RFID chips embedded into their mine helmets; we have coded over 90% of the 17,000 items and designed the firmware to link to SAP. RFID portals have been installed at all entrances and exits to the warehouse and every personnel will be logged and tracked as they enter or exit the facility" says Cathy Pascoe from CSC who was responsible for managing the project for BMA
