Haulage tracking indoor/outdoor

Mining operations require the tracking of machinery and assets both indoor and outdoor. SubWAVE offers the extension of GPS technology already deployed outdoor, with a seamless tracking transition between environments.

This universal compatibility enables an easy link with supervision softwares already in place, in real-time, with no delay. Every blind spot into the galleries gets back on the map.

Mining Automation

As the backbone of positioning and navigation operations, GPS technology is already used in automation softwares outdoors. By extending the natural GPS coverage in underground galleries, SubWAVE enables the extension of teleremote operations with existing equipment.

Available with very accurate precision, SubWAVE is compatible with existing communication cables and receivers, and fits right in automation systems.
