1 Field Analysis & Reporting Application (FARA): Mobile FARA Mobile: Fleet Management Forms Gamified Performance Feedback Underground (BLE Beacons) & Surface (GPS) positioning Field Region Builder MISOM Transforms Data into Action through Applied Business Intelligence and Process Change

2 Reliable Data Collection Leveraging Modern Mobile Technology to Transform Frontline Mine Tracking, Reporting, & Analysis FARA ADVANTAGES Affordable flexible mobile equipment and field personnel management system. Simple enough to set-up and use, perfect for quarries, industrial minerals, aggregates, contractors, and small to medium-sized mines. Automatically tracks production cycles, locations, and traces paths Easily tracks statuses and customs events Replaces paper forms and data entry clerks Data available immediately for reporting and performance analysis Synchronizing drop-downs lists to ensure form data consistency. Uses device sensors: geotags, GPS, camera, audio, accelerometer, Bluetooth beacons. Data available in open database & MS Excel. Gamification to support personal performance Underground & surface Mobile smart phones and tables are revolutionary, allowing us to track people and machines as well, or better, than what we use today. Their mobility and accessibility can even replace the last data bottleneck in mines: paper and pen. With a case, they can be as robust as hardened computers a ten times their costs. Supervisors, maintenance personnel, and machine operators report safety, production, status, and machine health issues through printed spreadsheet forms or customprinted log books, or expensive fixed-custom in-cab computers. The paper bound data is then input by clerks, often only partially, into a database or spreadsheet. That paper form is later bagged or put into binders and stored so inspectors can investigate the forms in more detail, if needed. This presents many disadvantages, such as: Inability to track quality, consistency & timeliness of performance or data entry Paper piles up in front of clerk, often at month end Missing data within the form or production time-card Data re-entry often contains many errors FARA is MISOM Technology s data entry suite of semi-automated data collection applications and is focused on solving these problems through modern IT tools. FARA Mobile App: Smart Mine Tracking NATIVE APPLICATION EITHER IN THE CLOUD OR IN YOUR CORPORATE NETWORK FARA is a stand-alone product available for off-the-shelf tablets or smart phones. It is a Native App, meaning it can operate even when disconnected from the web and easily uses all the embedded sensors in these powerful computers. We offer a Cloud version meaning that no server infrastructure is necessary. We can also install and configure it to be hosted within your network on a standard Windows or Linux server.

3 IDEAL FOR... Small & medium-sized mines, quarries, industrial minerals, contractors, construction to replace paper, time cards, and to motivate workers. WEB APP Use the web application for configuration, remote monitoring, and reporting, thus avoiding the consistency and reliability of excel as a data capture tool. Free automatic updates. MAINTENANCE WORKFLOW Complete the pre-operational checklist and other maintenance and safety forms on the tablet, with photos, geotags, etc... HOW IT WORKS THE SETUP 1) Use a web browser to create users, regions, configuration, and forms, dropdown lists, etc You can even fill-out forms from the desktop browser as though you are on the device. 2) Get the App from the AppStore, login, complete or edit your forms, track paths, create regions, check dashboards, cycles, statues, etc...synchronize, and you will find your data in your database, ready to be reported or analyzed.. RETHINK DATA COLLECTION With these devices one can track people and machines, enter data manually, or allow the device to track cycles, position, even log photographs. With cloud storage, one may fulfill the MSHA Title 30 CFR g for safety data collection to be secure and not susceptible to alteration. Here are just a few examples of FARA uses: App Hub: free updates & features Workplace audits Pre-operational Checklist Viewable to PM planners & supervisors Fleet & personnel management Production cycle and status tracking Underground & indoor tracking through Bluetooth beacons Gamified operator performance feedback Supervisor shift auto-summarizer, checklists, and pass-along shift transition log Safety & environmental audits, incident reporting, condition inspections Media-rich incident investigation: geotags, video interviews, photos,... Pre-shift equipment inspection, shift production, shift-end conditions Visitor sign-in including photo-capture Create regions for cycle calculation and alerts when virtual barriers breached Audio dictation Motivational tracking: dashboards, timelines, histograms etc... Media-rich repair work order supplement: photos, audio notes,... Region builder for tracking & alerts Personnel & machine tracker: status & production cycles Facilitating Data Collection to focus on using the information
