Brisbane, QLD – 04 May, 2017- SmartCap Technologies have announced their new collaboration with Newtrax Technologies. These two industry-leading safety solution providers will be working together over the coming months to adapt Life by SmartCap, a world-first solution that will suit underground mining conditions.

The new initiative will bring many benefits to both operators and supervisors alike. Life provides real-time alerts to prevent microsleeps before they happen, empowering users to be their own fatigue manager. Supervisors will have real-time data access so they can make fact-based decisions that keep their workforce safe.
