Remote Mining Site in Rural Mexico Uses Mobile Access Control Solution to Identify Staff
Headquartered in Greenwood Village, Colo., Newmont is a mining corporation and sustainable gold producer that manages operations all over the world. As of December 2018, the company had 6,673 employees between contractors and staff members. As a global corporation, Newmont needed a way to manage the flow of people in and out of their mining operations in various international locations. It was important for the company to monitor and register when staff arrived and departed from a job site, which was difficult at the remote, rural locations that lacked formal entry points and internet connectivity.
“We were looking for a solution that could connect with our system on mobile devices,” explained Daniel Tejeda, a project manager at Newmont. “We needed something for people who don’t necessarily pass through traditional entrances, and we needed a mobile card reader solution.”
