Kathrin Geisler of i.safe Mobile explains how the company’s explosion- proof 5G tablet helps connect miners in hazardous environments


I


n today’s rapidly evolving mining landscape, digital transformation is no longer optional, but essential, for operational excellence. As


mining operations increasingly rely on edge computing, predictive maintenance, and real-time data analytics, the need for resilient, explosion-proof mobile technology is becoming ever more important. i.safe Mobile addresses this demand with its IS940.M1, the industry’s first 5G 10.1- inch tablet specifically engineered for hazardous mining environments.


BRIDGING THE DIGITAL DIVIDE The digital revolution in mining faces a unique challenge: how to deploy advanced technology in potentially explosive mining environments. The IS940.M1 tablet offers a comprehensive solution for knowledge workers involved in data-driven predictive maintenance management within digitalised mining operations. This tablet integrates with existing 4G/5G campus networks and Wi-Fi 6 infrastructures, enabling mining professionals to access critical data in real-time from anywhere on site. The device transforms into a versatile operator station for process control and Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES), creating application possibilities in explosion-hazardous areas.


ROOTED IN TECHNOLOGY Despite its robust explosion-proof design, the IS940.M1 remains lightweight and user-friendly, according to the company. The device features a 10.1-inch full HD display protected by Corning Gorilla Glass, making it suitable for visualising complex operational data even in challenging underground conditions. The tablet is powered by an energy-


efficient chipset optimised for IIoT/edge computing applications. With 8GB RAM and 128GB internal memory (expandable via microSD), it delivers the processing

ADDITIONAL FEATURES INCLUDE:


Android 14 operating system with long-term support Replaceable battery for extended operations


Front and rear cameras for documentation and remote collaboration


Comprehensive wireless capabilities including Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.2, NFC, GPS


Programmable red key for lone worker protection/SOS


IP68 waterproof/dustproof rating and MIL-STD-810H compliance Operating temperature range of -20°C to +55°C


The IS940.M1 can visualise complex operational data even in challenging underground conditions


capability required for demanding mining applications. The 16-pin ISM interface ensures secure connection to approved accessories, enhancing functionality for field operators.


THE 5G CATALYST The implementation of 5G technology in mining environments offers transformative benefits. The IS940.M1 leverages this potential with reliable, low-latency communication for remote maintenance, augmented reality applications, and mobile machine data visualisation. Mining operations can now deploy advanced IoT sensor networks with the IS940.M1 serving


as the central hub for monitoring critical infrastructure. The IS940.M1 complements i.safe


Mobile’s existing 5G portfolio, which includes the IS540.1 smartphone and IS440.M1 radio, providing a complete communication ecosystem for the digitalised mining industry. For mine operators navigating the transition to Industry 4.0, the tablet offers the balance of rugged durability and advanced technology.
