Track and monitor your mine network mobile assets easily with 3D-P’s Endpoint Locator

3D-­‐P, a leading provider of connected technology products for the mining industry, is pleased to announce the release a new software product called Endpoint Locator to advance inventory tracking of its Intelligent Endpoint™ (IEP) at the CIM 2014 Convention in Vancouver, Canada (Booth #339).  Endpoint Locator provides the ability to quickly ascertain the near real-time location of Intelligent Endpoint™ network assets against the backdrop of the most recent map of your mine.

By understanding where particular equipment is, you can track your mobile assets are they transverse the mine site, and make more informed decisions to improve the reliability and support of your network.  As well, you are able to proactively identify basic issues with network coverage as the mine topology changes.

Endpoint Locator’s tracking works with any 3D-P IEP device with integrated GPS, but non-GPS equipped IEPs can also be identified for a complete view of your network devices. As well, Endpoint Locator software will automatically provide software updates to all Intelligent Endpoint™.

Endpoint Locator communicates with each endpoint periodically to retrieve the device’s GPS information, balancing the need for regular updated information with the desire to minimize the amount of additional traffic placed on the network, and can be safely used on either MotoMesh or 802.11 networks.

Bill Wright, Vice President of Sales and Marketing at 3D-P says “A mines wireless network is a critical resource for mine operations and the Endpoint Locator software is another example of the evolution of required tools to maintain the network assets to ensure connectivity of the advanced technology solutions used in mines today”

Developed specifically for mining and heavy industrial use, the Intelligent Endpoint™ is a robust networking and computing platform that provide seamless connectivity, even with on-machine applications not designed for modern networks. The Intelligent Endpoint™ is based on open standards and is designed to integrate seamlessly with multiple systems including, dispatch, machine health, high-precision GPS, slope monitoring, dewatering and safety and security systems, video cameras etc.  The Intelligent Endpoint™ provides a common platform that can be used to provide connectivity to new systems and old, providing uninterrupted, reliable communications for all of your mine technology assets.

3D-P provides complete end-to-end communications solutions with on board computing capabilities for mining applications. The flexibility and durability of our Intelligent Endpoint™ platform, the centralized configuration capabilities of our Endpoint Manager platform, and our radio-agnostic wireless network engineering expertise enables us to optimize the performance of your network to gain maximum operational effectiveness. And now, with the addition of our Endpoint Locator solution, you can gain valuable insight into and visibility of your assets in near real-time.
