1. Introduction
This document is aimed for customers and sales and represents the basic functionalities for the HxGN
MineProtect Personal Alert. It describes the technology used, the recommended applications and
limitations of the system.
The Personal Alert System (PA) is a pedestrian tagged personnel tracking system that utilizes the
latest Time of Flight technology in the Ultra-Wideband (UWB) to determinate with high precision
personnel position relative to heavy machinery and provides reliable protection even under conditions
of poor or no GPS reception.
2. Product Description
HxGN Mine Personal Alert is the first accident-avoidance device worn by field personnel that ensures
visibility around heavy equipment. Using the reliability and precision of Time of Flight technology in the
Ultra-Wide Band frequency, Personal Alert is integrated with Hexagon Mining’s Collision Avoidance
System (CAS) for a comprehensive warning solution.
It enhances the visibility of personnel and vehicles in dangerous situations, reducing accidents by
alerting about the presence of anyone working around heavy machinery in the CAS display.
Position, heading, and path are calculated using the CAS in the vehicle, which together with PA
accurately determine one or multiple surrounding pedestrian tags distances against the heavy
machinery. This distance is then compared against the configured detection zones to alert vehicle
operators and pedestrians in case of imminent risk.
The Personal Alert System (PA) provides the following main functions:
 Personnel Position Awareness: which shows the heavy machinery operators where personnel
within the detection range are located.
 Personnel Protection Alarms: based on the movement of the personnel and the heavy
machinery, it measures continuously the distance between machinery and pedestrian predict
potential close interactions generating visual within protection distances and in case of critical
danger audible and vibratory alarms to both heavy machinery operators and pedestrians to
avoid possible accidents.
