METS Receives MSHA Approval
Matrix Design Group has received MSHA IS Approval for its Miner and Equipment Tracking System (METS)
Newburgh, IN, August 10, 2008 --(PR.com)-- Matrix Design Group, LLC announced today that it’s Miner and Equipment Tracking System (METS), Version 2.1 has received Intrinsic Safety (IS) and Part 23 approvals for use in underground coal mines by the U.S. Department of Labor’s Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA).
“MSHA approval of METS 2.1 gives us the green light to proceed with scheduled installations,” said Matrix President Aric Pryor. “We are extremely proud of this achievement and all of the hard work and effort by the Matrix staff and MSHA to complete this approval.”
METS 2.1 is a cost-effective and reliable solution for current West Virginia and anticipated federal MINER Act tracking requirements. Matrix Design Group (MDG) designed the system to be fully IS and redundant, but without the multitude of maintenance-intensive underground power connections and batteries required by other systems. METS 2.1 was also designed specifically for survivability and post-accident use in underground coal mines, even after power to the mine has been shut off.
Since 2006, METS systems have been tracking workers and machines underground across the United States. METS is the leading underground tracking system in the USA with over 5000 tracking tags in production use every day and representing the largest production tracking installations in the US.
Purchase orders for METS 2.1 systems have been received throughout West Virginia and other states from many leading mining companies such as Newtown Energy, Foundation Coal, Patriot Coal, and Alliance Coal. METS is distributed and supported by Delta Electric of Logan, WV, Carroll Engineering Company of Harlan, KY, and Pillar Innovations of Morgantown, WV.
