Specialized fields
Mining, field by field.

Mining is many industries under one name. An open pit, a deep hard-rock mine, a gassy coal seam, a river placer, a wellfield that dissolves ore in place, a quarry beside a town, a tailings facility that must stand for generations and a seabed claim each ask different questions of the ground, the air and the water, under different rules. Each field below has its own measurements, radio, power and crew work, from the first order to the running operation.

01Specialized fields

Choose the field you work in.

Each field page sets out the operating context and hazards, what must be measured and under which rules, the stack from base unit to network, the work from order to operation, the data products and the cited sources.

Specialized field

Open-pit mining

Slope radar, prisms and GNSS on the pit walls, private LTE or 5G for dispatch and autonomy, blast vibration and dust at the fence, on one site network.The full field →
Specialized field

Underground hard-rock mining

Microseismic arrays, ventilation on demand, gas and refuge monitoring, people and vehicle tracking, and a private LTE or leaky-feeder backbone that follows the headings.The full field →
Specialized field

Underground coal mining

Methane, airflow and carbon monoxide under explosion-protection rules, dust exposure, communication and tracking that survive an emergency, and methane drainage measured for safety and emissions.The full field →
Specialized field

Placer and alluvial mining

Turbidity and sediment downstream, mercury where amalgamation is used, settling pond stability and rehabilitation, with LoRaWAN and satellite links where nothing else reaches.The full field →
Specialized field

In-situ recovery

Wellfields that dissolve ore underground, watched through monitoring-well rings, wellhead flow and pressure, groundwater chemistry and leak detection, with every excursion caught and reported.The full field →
Specialized field

Quarrying and aggregates

Blast vibration and air overpressure at the neighbours, boundary dust, noise, discharge water and face stability, on simple, low-cost links for a site that sits next to a town.The full field →
Specialized field

Tailings storage facilities

Piezometers, inclinometers, GNSS, satellite radar and water balance for tailings dams, with trigger levels from the engineer of record and evidence aligned to the global tailings standard.The full field →
Specialized field

Seabed and marine minerals

Environmental baselines and plume monitoring for nearshore dredging and seabed mineral exploration: moored and seabed instruments, ocean-ready links and data that regulators and scientists can verify.The full field →

02Solution bundles

Start with one unit. Grow to a network.

The same systems at every scale, on the open protocol, so nothing you buy is replaced as you grow.

  1. 01

    Base unit

    One station or node, specified for this industry: instruments, power, enclosure and backhaul.

    Build a station →
  2. 02

    Site

    A surveyed, commissioned site with its timing, its links and the evidence file a buyer can audit.

    Plan a site →
  3. 03

    Fleet

    Many sites run as one service: one plan, one update path, one evidence trail, one service level.

    Managed offers →
  4. 04

    Network

    Fleets that federate with partner grids through the open protocol, owner by owner.
