Loadsensing Wireless Monitoring for Mining

Worldsensing is a Spanish SME that makes wireless monitoring networks and data loggers for civil infrastructure, mining and construction. Its Loadsensing family has been on the market since 2008, with more than 100,000 devices deployed worldwide, according to the company's January 2025 announcement.

The mining solution combines battery-powered LoRa edge devices (vibrating wire, digital and analog data loggers, tiltmeters, vibration meters, GNSS sensors), gateways and repeaters, and CMT Cloud or CMT Edge software. It covers open-pit and underground mines and tailings dams, with the page citing support at more than 130 mines.

• Multi-sensor loggers: vibrating wire, digital, analog and Piconode data loggers for geotechnical instruments.
• Tilt and vibration meters: tiltmeters and vibration meters aligned with ISO 2631-2, DIN 4150-3 and BS 7385-2.
• GNSS monitoring: wireless GNSS sensors for absolute surface movement.
• Network options: single-net or multi-net LoRa networks, 4G rugged gateway and edge repeater.
• CMT software: cloud or edge software to manage devices and visualize data.
• Early Warning System: bundled configuration for tailings and slope alerts.

Tailings dam and pit-slope monitoring at Vietnamese bauxite, titanium and coal mines. Blast vibration monitoring near nearby structures at quarries and cement-plant limestone mines. Tunnel and underground convergence monitoring for hydropower and metro works.

Reduces the need for cabling at remote mine sites through battery-powered wireless devices. Radio range reaches up to 15 km, and up to 10 km underground. IP68 housings operate from -40 to 80 degrees Celsius. Early-warning bundles for surface movement report with under 2 seconds of latency in event detection mode.

Mine operators face stricter tailings risk-management standards (GPMI) and need continuous geotechnical data from remote sites. Wireless, low-power networks cut installation cost and allow real-time alerts. Southeast Asian operations, including gold mines in Indonesia, are adopting such systems for slope and tailings safety.
