Abstract
The present invention provides device system and a method for monitoring movements of mining conveyances in a mine shaft. One or more sensors that form part of the system may be installed directly on the mining conveyances. The sensors may be accelerometers and are for detecting movements on mining conveyances. The system may analyze the descent and ascent paths of the mining conveyances on guides by recording vertical, horizontal and transverse accelerations. The analysis may comprise associating the movements with position of the mining conveyances on the guides for identification of an anomaly at a specific position.
