On April 9th, Francisco Zapata Nájera was rescued from the El Rosario gold mine in Mexico. After being trapped in a 300-meter deep tunnel by floods for 14 days, he miraculously survived. While we cheered for this life “miracle”, we also thought about mining safety: How can technology make survival an industry guarantee rather than a “miracle”?

Thinkrace’s intelligent wearable mining solution focuses on its core value: pre-event safety guarantee, enhancing protection through daily monitoring, and preventing and reducing the occurrence of mine disasters from the source; post-event efficient rescue, providing comprehensive technical support during mine disasters to maximize rescue efficiency and ensure the lives of miners.


Real-time biometric monitoring of smart wearables
The reinforced smart watch continuously tracks the miner’s heart rate, blood oxygen, skin temperature, and movement status. Through AI algorithms, it analyzes individual physiological baselines and can detect early signs of heat stress, physical exhaustion, or prolonged inactivity, providing early warnings. At the same time, the device can operate stably in harsh underground environments. These key data can provide important references for evacuation timing after a mine disaster.


One-click SOS multi-channel connection
Traditional communication can easily break down in times of network congestion or damaged infrastructure. However, Thinkrace’s smart wearables’ emergency protocol uses 4G, WiFi Mesh, Bluetooth beacons, etc. for multi-channel transmission of distress signals, ensuring that the rescue call information can reach the command center smoothly through available paths, giving time for rapid rescue.


Two-way voice support
The Thinkrace smart wearable device can maintain two-way voice communication between miners and rescue coordinators, promptly transmitting on-site situations and providing rescue guidance, establishing interpersonal connections in isolated environments.

Smart wearables promote industry standards
The global level of mining safety is constantly evolving. The El Rosario incident highlights the urgency of deploying smart wearable technology. Thinkrace’s smart wearables can achieve real-time monitoring of personnel location and status, efficient emergency response coordination, and comply with international safety frameworks such as ILO Convention No. 176, providing comprehensive protection for miners’ safety.
