The Cost of Frequent Stoppages

We know the biggest obstacle in mining operations today is frequent stoppages, often triggered by unreliable navigation systems. Autonomous haul trucks can grind to a halt due to frustrating GNSS/RTK dropouts and continuous miners struggle to mine accurately according to their plans without frequent stoppages to survey their progress. These issues are often exacerbated by the use of ineffective, low-end systems that simply do not meet the demands of mining today, leading to lost time by operators. You need advanced mining solutions built specifically to eliminate these costly stoppages, and deliver precision in above or below ground operations.

FAQs

How rugged and maintenance-friendly are your navigation systems in harsh mining conditions?

Our inertial navigation systems are engineered for the extreme demands of mining. Featuring no moving parts, they require no ongoing calibration, drastically reducing maintenance. Housed in specialty connectors and robust enclosures built to MIL standards, our systems are proven in the harshest conditions, offering exceptional shock and vibration resistance.

How accurate and reliable are your navigation systems in underground or GNSS/GPS-interrupted mining environments?

Our INS solutions are engineered for sustained accuracy and reliability, even when GNSS/GPS-signals are unavailable. Leveraging advanced sensor fusion and built to military-grade requirements, our products outperform many existing systems with fewer drawbacks and long-term robust performance.

Can your navigation solutions support autonomous or semi-autonomous mining vehicles and equipment?

Our technology can integrate existing onboard sensors such as vehicle speed and positioning data to provide more accurate positioning of your vehicles, unlocking autonomous and semi-autonomous applications that were previously not considered possible.
