By 2010, miners' Cap Lamps finally shifted from traditional corded Cap Lamps to cordless. By 2010, the second cap lamp evolution occurred, with the transformation from illumination only devices to wireless digital devices. This is in correlation with modern mines going digital and implementing IoT solutions to reduce costs, optimise productivity and increase safety.
When deciding how to integrate miners into the digital mine, do you keep adding new devices to the associated infrastructure or do you embed all digital functions you require into the cordless Cap Lamp the miner already wears?
Essentially, an IoT Cap Lamp is a regular Cap Lamp with wireless functionalities. This wireless technology is not for high-speed communications. It is purposely designed for monitor and control using low power. It is best described as IoT cap lamp, as it is more than just a wireless cap lamp.
