  http://www.elexonmining.com/exciting-new-development-in-situ-ore-tracking/Work Experience♣ Meeting & managing clients; Product Presentation to external stakeholders; Provide in-depth product engineering service to support internal & external stakeholders; Liaise with Engineers and Production in the planning & manufacture of products♣ Worked onsite in Rio Tinto's Argyle Diamond Mine & Newcrest's Ridgeway Gold Mine for communication Setup, testing, installation & commissioning - management of Cave Tracker Management System that enables real time monitoring of material flow.♣ Cave Tracker Management System: Cave tracking technology uses unique 3D position systems to enable real-time monitoring of sensors in the block cave, which move in line with the ore. The technique attempts to track the location of beacons placed in the cave. This approach uses a modulated magnetic carrier approach to track the beacon through the caving rock. The cave tracking system has three major components:- Beacons: devices that are placed in the cave and tracked during caving;- Detectors: measure the signal generated by the beacons; and- Central Cave Tracking unit: collects measurements made by each detector to determine the 3D location of the each beacon detected.♣ Implemented Multilateration and Trilateration algorithm in Scilab for ranging accuracy in ore flow tracking and range error minimization, strategic data analysis to detect beacon movement thus material flow, database management, technical documentation for various projects & general engineering support.♣ New product prototype design and assembly, modification & development; safety reporting; hardware troubleshooting & quality assurance in production and manufacturing

• Graduate Project Engineer

  • 2011 - 2013

  ♣ Designed a RFID Multi-Turn Antenna for communications through solid (Rock & Soil) for the Networked Smart Marker System that aided in increased range accuracyAchievement:Elexon electronics, has developed and manufactures a product called the 'Smart Marker System'(SMS). The SMS is used as an active RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) marker to track ore flow in underground mines. Elexon wishes to expand the capability of this system for better radiation efficiency, improved networking between markers and extended battery life for underground radio wave communication. The designed small loop antenna improved the received signal power approximately 30 dB for 15 m range at 13.56 MHz frequency than the existing smart marker antenna. The antenna is an efficient solution for next generation networked smart markers ensuring communication over a better range. The key advantages of the project were:- Better radiation efficiency- Increased Range Coverage- Multi-turn antenna allows more efficient matching to the transmitter - Assists in better networking of RFID markers
