Overview
Regardless of what your business produces or where you’re located, your mining operation has several unique requirements to ensure the highest productivity. Your security system needs to ensure that assigned workers can access their assigned shafts and get to work on time. That is, delays add up, costing your business money as well as time. And, due to COVID-19, ensuring that no employee is exhibiting symptoms of infection is even more pressing in mines because of how narrow your miners’ work areas are.Industry Needs
- Fast and easy employee access to the mines
- Durability to withstand harsh weather and high-impact mining environments
- Automated and touchless health monitoring
- Simple workflows for all personnel
- Integration with existing access control systems
- Built-in time and attendance tracking

High Throughput Access
IXM TITAN’s touchless face recognition authenticates 15 to 18 users per minute, and the Enhancement Kit screens 12 to 15 temperatures in the same timeframe. By using face recognition, employees do not have to wash their hands or remember a PIN or ID card. -
Rugged Construction
IXM TITAN is IP67 and IK10 rated for outdoor use. Its LCD is made with Corning® Gorilla® glass so the most extreme impact (like blasts from the mines) will not disrupt entry workflows. IXM TITAN also includes a gyroscopic tamper sensor that monitors for physical tampering and triggers an alarm when someone attempts to remove the device. -
Integration-Ready
IXM WEB is Invixium’s enterprise-grade software solution that integrates with leading access control software. The solution can communicate time tracking and temperature data to whichever platform a mining business currently uses via Wiegand, OSDP or Web API. -
Easy to Use
Enrollment for IXM TITAN’s face recognition takes just a few seconds and is mostly automated. During authentication, a user must only stand in view of TITAN’s camera to trigger face recognition and temperature screening workflows. Instructions during enrollment and authentication are read, printed on-screen, or both. -
Intelligent Temperature Screening
IXM TITAN Enhancement Kit adds temperature screening to TITAN’s face recognition functionality. When TITAN’s face recognition camera detects a face in view, the E-Kit’s thermal camera is triggered to take a temperature reading at the same time as face authentication. With an accuracy of +/- 0.5 ⁰C (0.9 ⁰F), IXM TITAN is as accurate as thermal guns but adds the benefits of full automation and high throughput to limit mine access to only authorized users who also do not have elevated body temperature. -
Time & Attendance Software
IXM WEB also features IXM Time, a licensed time and attendance tracking module that mining operations can use to improve payroll and time tracking efficiency. Built into the software are attendance reports, leave and shift management, an employee portal, audit trails, and more. Using APIs to integrate with your HRMS, IXM Time’s powerful data and reports are accessible for organizations of any size.
