General Questions
What is MICE?
MICE is an industrial monitoring and control platform designed to provide real-time visibility and control across mining, port and industrial operations. It connects critical assets, collects operational data and provides insights that help organisations reduce downtime, improve safety and optimise performance.
What industries does MICE support?
MICE is designed for industries operating in demanding environments, including mining, ports and industrial plants. It is particularly suited to remote operations where monitoring critical assets and infrastructure can be challenging.
What problems does MICE solve?
MICE helps organisations overcome challenges such as limited visibility across remote sites, unplanned equipment failures, inefficient resource use and reliance on manual inspections. By providing real-time monitoring and control, MICE helps teams make faster, better-informed decisions.
What assets can MICE monitor?
MICE can be used to monitor and control a wide range of industrial assets, including conveyors, vibrating screens, crushers, pumps, generators, dust suppression systems, water infrastructure and energy systems.
Solutions & Applications
What solutions does MICE provide?
MICE provides end-to-end solutions for industrial monitoring, control and early warnings, including asset condition monitoring, industrial automation, environmental monitoring and infrastructure monitoring.
Can MICE control equipment as well as monitor it?
Yes. MICE supports both monitoring and control capabilities, allowing operators to remotely manage certain assets and automate processes based on operational requirements.
Can MICE be customised for different applications?
Yes. MICE solutions can be tailored to suit different operational requirements, assets and site conditions. The platform is designed to be flexible and expandable as business needs change.
Is MICE only designed for mining?
No. While MICE was developed with mining environments in mind, the platform can support a range of industrial applications including ports, industrial plants and other remote operations requiring reliable monitoring and control.
Technology & Connectivity
What technology does MICE use?
MICE uses LoRaWAN communication technology and is built on the IoT Ventures LXC Platform. This provides reliable long-range connectivity and flexible monitoring capabilities for industrial environments.
Why does MICE use LoRaWAN?
LoRaWAN provides long-range, low-power connectivity that is well suited to large industrial sites where traditional connectivity options may be limited or costly.
Does MICE require mobile phone coverage?
No. MICE can operate using LoRaWAN connectivity, making it suitable for remote locations where cellular coverage may be unavailable. Satellite options are also available for ultra-remote environments.
Can MICE integrate with existing systems?
Yes. MICE can integrate with existing enterprise systems and operational workflows, allowing organisations to enhance their current processes without replacing existing infrastructure.
Deployment & Support
Is MICE suitable for harsh environments?
Yes. MICE technology has been developed and proven in Australia and New Zealand's demanding industrial environments. The equipment is designed to operate in challenging conditions including heat, dust and vibration.
How quickly can MICE be deployed?
Deployment timelines depend on the application, site requirements and solution complexity. The MICE team can work with organisations to determine the best approach for implementation.
Can MICE be expanded over time?
Yes. MICE is designed as a scalable platform that can grow with your operational requirements, allowing additional monitoring and control capabilities to be added as needed.
Who provides support for MICE solutions?
MICE is supported by IoT Ventures and a network of distribution and service partners who assist with implementation, deployment and ongoing support.
