TORONTO, Dec. 1 /CNW/ - Active Control Technology Inc. (TSX-V:ACT)
announced today that Stacey Lynn Coal Co., a West Virginia coal producer, has
signed a purchase order to integrate gas monitoring into their ActiveMine(TM)
system.
The purchase order is in addition to Stacey Lynn's previously announced
order for ActiveMine, the premier wireless voice communications and locating
system for mines, in May 2008.
The carbon monoxide gas monitoring system, provided by Rel-Tek
Corporation, a Monroeville, PA manufacturer of gas, pump, and belt monitoring
and control systems, will be installed by ACT in December 2008. Network
integration of the system was engineered collaboratively by both companies.
The ActiveMine installation will begin with deployment of the
above-ground network and gas monitoring system. This will be followed by
installation of the underground ActiveMine wireless nodes and voice
components.
Stacey Lynn initially purchased ActiveMine's basic digital voice system,
which provides unsurpassed quality. Once the mine extends beyond 5,000 feet,
tracking functionality will be added without the need for additional network
hardware. In addition, data communications enabling the transmission of
safety, maintenance and production information can be supported by the same
network.
"Stacey Lynn's decision validates ActiveMine's unique 'layered approach'
value proposition," said Steve Barrett, President and CEO, Active Control.
"This capability over a single wireless network is unique to ActiveMine,
making it the system of choice for forward-thinking mine operators "
ACT's business partner in the U.S., Fairmont Supply Company, played a key
role in linking ACT with Stacey Lynn.
The company also announced that Dr. Annie Wang has left Active Control to
pursue other career opportunities. Mr. Barrett thanked Dr. Wang for her
service to the company and looks forward to working with her as ACT continues
its China expansion.
