Industrial: on the ground

  1. Industrial

    Sites, ground and air, on one record.

    Mining, oil and gas, ports, utilities, rail, construction and manufacturing: private networks and compliance-grade sensing.

  2. Open-pit mine

    Open-pit mine

    A pit cut into the ground, with benches stepping down to the floor.

  3. Open-pit mine

    Open-pit mine

    One private cell carries the fleet and the monitoring. A private cell for the haul fleet, the monitors and remote operations.

  4. Open-pit mine

    Open-pit mine

    The red ring is the seismograph: every blast is measured at the boundary. Measures ground vibration from each blast at the boundary against the permit limit.

  5. Open-pit mine

    Open-pit mine

    GNSS monitors on the benches resolve movement to millimetres. Millimetre-level positions on the bench reveal slope movement long before it is visible.

  6. Proof

    What buyers ask to see.

    • Latency and jitter test reports
    • Redundancy design
    • Equipment-maker interoperability
    • Spectrum licence
    • Industrial cybersecurity (ISA/IEC 62443)
    • Hazardous-area equipment ratings
    • Uptime service levels
    • Reference sites

01How it works

A station joins, then the work is shared.

One station runs the protocol from first contact to publishing; the graph beside it shows how this sector’s use cases share kit and products.

02Deployment scenarios

How the grid is deployed here.

From the sector research, each with the observatory template that serves it where one exists.

Sensors & instruments, Connectivity

Mine-wide private LTE or 5G with environmental sensing

Autonomy communications plus dust, blast vibration, slope and tailings monitoring.Protocol & Grid, Sensors & instruments

Utility private LTE for the grid edge

Distribution automation, distributed-energy control and wildfire-risk weather on a dedicated band.Sensors & instruments

Continuous methane monitoring

Fenceline sensors and optical gas imaging under regulatory leak-detection cadences.

03Proof

What buyers ask to see.

The evidence a procurement in this sector asks for, from the sector research. Each item is produced by the grid as a record, not written up afterwards.

  • Latency and jitter test reports

  • Spectrum licence
  • Industrial cybersecurity (ISA/IEC 62443)

06Search terms and open work

How the sector names the problem.

The terms buyers and programmes use, and open projects in the space, named as factual references only. Naming a project is not an endorsement or a relationship.

01How it works

From the instrument to the product.

The data path of each use case, tier by tier with the interface on every link, the equipment the use cases share, and one station joining the grid.
