Schauenburg Systems

Schauenburg Systems is a South African-based technology and solutions provider serving the mining and industrial sectors across Africa and beyond. We specialise in the design, integration, and support of intelligent safety, communication, and digital infrastructure systems that enhance operational performance, regulatory compliance, and workforce protection.

With decades of industry experience, Schauenburg Systems delivers robust, mine-ready technologies engineered for demanding underground and surface environments. Our solutions are developed not only to meet regulatory requirements but to enable safer, more efficient, and digitally connected operations.

Our core solutions

Real-Time Workforce Locator

Our Real-Time Workforce Locator system provides continuous visibility of personnel underground and on surface, supporting regulatory compliance, emergency response coordination, and operational optimisation. The system enhances workforce accountability, strengthens safety oversight, and enables faster decision-making in high-risk environments.

ProXYmus – Collision prevention & proximity detection

ProXYmus is our next-generation collision prevention and proximity detection solution, engineered for connected, future-ready mines. Designed for seamless integration into digital mining ecosystems, ProXYmus enhances vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-person awareness, reduces collision risk, and supports zero-harm safety strategies.

Lamproom management solutions

Our Lamproom Management Solutions have evolved beyond traditional lamp issue centres into intelligent control and verification environments. These systems provide equipment tracking, personnel validation, compliance reporting, and integration into broader safety and workforce management platforms.

Environmental & gas monitoring systems

Schauenburg delivers advanced environmental monitoring technologies that provide accurate, real-time measurement of critical atmospheric conditions. Through integrated data platforms, operators gain actionable insights that support exposure management, predictive risk mitigation, and improved health and safety governance.

SmartMine IoT – Digital mining architecture

SmartMine is Schauenburg Systems’ digital mining framework, developed to support the structured digitalisation of modern mining operations. It integrates advanced technologies, including IoT, AI, and machine learning, within an open-architecture environment designed for interoperability and scalable system expansion.

Rather than functioning as a standalone application, SmartMine IoT provides the integration backbone that connects workforce visibility, collision avoidance, occupational safety, environmental monitoring, and asset management systems into a unified digital ecosystem.

Through real-time data acquisition, analytics, and intelligent system integration, SmartMine enables operators to improve asset utilisation, strengthen regulatory compliance, enhance risk mitigation strategies, and support data-driven operational decision-making.

Its open architecture design ensures compatibility with existing infrastructure and third-party systems, allowing mining operations to transition from isolated technologies to a fully connected, scalable digital environment.

Integrated systems approach

What differentiates Schauenburg Systems is our systems integration capability. We do not supply standalone technologies; we engineer interconnected solutions designed to operate within a unified safety and operational architecture.

By combining workforce visibility, collision prevention, environmental intelligence, and resilient communication infrastructure, we enable mining operators to transform real-time data into actionable insight. This integrated approach strengthens governance, enhances compliance reporting, reduces operational risk, and supports measurable improvements in safety and productivity.

Compliance, governance & ESG alignment

The global mining industry faces increasing regulatory scrutiny and stakeholder expectations regarding safety performance, transparency, and environmental accountability. Schauenburg Systems develops solutions aligned with international safety standards, governance frameworks, and ESG principles.

Our technologies support operators in meeting evolving regulatory requirements, improving incident prevention strategies, and strengthening reporting capabilities through accurate, reliable, real-time data.

Innovation that saves

Driven by our purpose of Innovation that Saves, Schauenburg Systems continues to invest in research, product development, and digital advancement to support the mining industry’s transition toward intelligent, data-driven operations.

We focus on practical innovation — engineering solutions that perform reliably in complex operational environments while delivering measurable improvements in safety, compliance, and operational performance.

Schauenburg Systems remains committed to advancing connected mining ecosystems that protect people, optimise performance, and create sustainable long-term value.
