Case Study: Newtrax improves mining safety and real-time monitoring with TimescaleDB

NEWTRAX processes 100M+ data points per machine with Timescale

NEWTRAX, a leading provider of safety solutions for underground mines, faced significant challenges in managing the high volume of data generated by their extensive sensor network. Their traditional databases struggled with real-time demands, leading to slow performance that hindered their ability to provide timely safety alerts. To solve this, they turned to Timescale and implemented TimescaleDB with hypertables.

By integrating TimescaleDB, NEWTRAX drastically improved data management. The use of hypertables enabled efficient handling of time-series data, reducing query times and enhancing data ingestion rates. This allowed NEWTRAX to deliver real-time safety alerts and comprehensive analytics. The improvements increased system reliability and played a crucial role in enhancing overall mine safety and productivity, ultimately helping to save lives.
