What our Clients
say about Us

“The advantages of using Artic Mining’s Vigilante AQS in regard to health and safety standards for our people working in the mine are, to tell you the truth, quite huge! The air quality stations give us real-time ample panoramic data of the ventilation conditions in the working headings before our people go into the headings or, in the case when they are already inside a mine refuge. In this case, the Vigilante AQS devices give us a certainty that the miners can leave the mine refuge station due to the fact that we have the gas concentrations data from its exterior in real time. The Vigilante enables our workers to return to the headings safety and quickly.”

“Vale has several louvers installed at Creighton Mine that have been in service for many years. Some have been in use for 8-10 years with zero issues. Over the last 3-4 years, the Artic MiningFlex™ automated regulators installed are heavy duty and trouble free. Construction is robust, (a 9’ x 9‘ louver weighs ~ 6000 pounds), actuators are solid, everything is sealed and all steel is galvanized. Once installed, we rarely if ever service a louver. All in all, well-made louvers are good products for underground use from my experience. They are my go to choice for regulators.The service and desire by Artic Mining to succeed in making the customer happy is second to none. The team is top notch. When problems or issues arise, whether it is with a louver or the airflow monitoring systems, solutions are quickly discovered and forwarded to site for implementation. Having bought louvers from a couple of suppliers, the ones currently being purchased from Artic Mining are very cost competitive.”

"Collaboration up and down the supply chain is critical to making innovation happen in the underground mining sector at home and around the globe. We’re delighted to work with another company in Greater Sudbury’s mining ecosystem, Artic Mining Digital Mine, to get their top-of-the-line digital infrastructure, Plexus PowerNet installed at our Research and Demonstration Facility where it will be backbone of our automation product development."

"Thanks to the many years of experience between Artic Mining Digital Mine and Airtec S.A. in ventilation, the robustness of the equipment, the technology of the Vigilante AQS, and the field developers we were able to execute the project in the most safe and efficient way for our people."

"The real benefit to the Vigilante AQS™ is that they are just so reliable for one thing. Secondly, the configuration and digital communications are simple and they always work. Easy to calibrate, install, and maintain. No troubles when it comes to calibrating on surface and rotating the gas sensors. My experience with Artic Mining Digital Mine has been a really good for many years now. Their support and ongoing service is first rate. I highly recommend working with the team at Artic Mining and would recommend any of their products and solutions. They are always thinking of the next innovation and new applications that can be integrated throughout the mine."

“We approached Artic Mining and said, can you guys talk Ethernet? Out of the box Artic Mining already talked Modbus TCP/IP which is Ethernet. Its an Ethernet communication. We are using the Artic Mining’s Vigilante AQS™ moving forward in order to do our ventilation monitoring. The huge advantage with the Artic Mining system is that you see the size of this, all the individual components. The Vigilante is all integrated into one unit. It does the gas monitoring, it does the airflow, it does the relative humidity and the temperature on it, all in one box. There is no engineering associated with it because it’s all in one package! Huge cost savings for the mine! So, any ventilation monitoring station that we put in now is a Artic Mining Vigilante AQS™ air quality stations. This also applies to our other Sudbury Operations: Creighton Mine, Copper Cliff Mines, Coleman Mine, Garson Mine, Thompson and Voisey Bay mines. Artic Mining ventilation solutions have been standardized for Vale mines and we can continue to learn and adopt it as needed.”

"The people at Artic Mining Digital Mine are all about selling solutions - not necessarily their product line or business. I have found they are providers of the highest quality, durable underground communications and ventilation monitoring system - but more importantly invaluable advice and service. They are true partners in delivering viable solutions to today’s digital mine opportunities."

“One of the many advantages of the Plexus PowerNet™ nodes is that they arrive with the durable aluminum plates already pre-drilled and with all the required electrical connection fittings. So, we just bolt it to the wall and go! For example, when you are in a jam at the face, you just go the source of the damage, cut the coaxial cable and put a new section of the rugged coax on with a splice and you are back at it. Back in business! No time delays. For the IT department, the Plexus PowerNet™ delivers a high speed, low latency, low jitter digital communication network.”
