The popular rugged handheld mobile computer by Motorola, the Motorola MC9090, has become the first product to enter the new partner certification program for ActiveMine, the premier wireless voice communications and locating system for mines.

The industry-leading MC9090 handheld mobile computer, combined with an innovative new software application from ACT vendor partner, Snively Inc., will enhance the operational and safety benefits available with ActiveMine. The MC9090 enables the reading and transmission of data from mining equipment via a bar code and future RFID integration. In addition, the MC9090 provides real-time access to voice and text communications for improved productivity and streamlined operations. Built to withstand extreme environments and loaded with Snively software, it will be distributed exclusively through a partnership with Snively.

The software application, called Safety Tracker, was designed by Snively to meet the Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) compliancy and reporting requirements. By putting more information in the hands of mine managers, the MC9090 aids in trouble-shooting, decision-making and preventing unsafe equipment from entering mines. Safety Tracker runs on Active Mine’s wireless mesh Wi-Fi network to provide real-time data about equipment via the network. In addition, the MC9090 can be used to control other devices that operate on the ActiveMine network optimizing their performance.
