High Precision Machine Guidance
mineAPS™ Dozer
mineAPS™ Dozer is an advanced machine guidance system utilising GPS+GLONASS positioning technology. This provides the operator with easy to follow graphical information needed to work accurately to design, simply and with no survey pegs – and achieve final results accurate to just centimetres.
mineAPS™ Dozer also includes important safety features, including supporting proximity warnings, fixed and mobile hazard warnings, messaging and generally improves operator situational awareness by putting the design on the machine. mineAPS™ Dozer improves productivity on a mine site with many applications including push dozing, selective mining, clean up, benching, stockpile dozing, maintenance and remediation projects.
Applications
- Selective mining
- Stockpile Operations
- Pushing to feed point
- Construction of accurate benches, ramps and pads
- Bulk Earthworks
- Rehabilitation Projects
- Clean up
Benefits
- Improve ore grades through accurate selective mining
- Improve safety through Fixed Hazard and Proximity Warnings
- Improve efficiency and reduce errors by putting the digital design directly on the machine
- Achieve results faster, with fewer passes
- Reduce rework caused by over or under cutting of filling
- Significantly reduce dependence on survey and grade checking
- Machine based production reporting removes errors and improves timeliness and accuracy of management information

mineAPS™ Drill
mineAPS™ Drill is a GPS+GLONASS machine guidance solution, suitable for both Hydraulic Crawler and Rotary Blasthole drills, enabling faster, safer and more productive operation. mineAPS™ Drill has been specifically designed to provide precise and clear information to the Drill operator indicating drill hole locations and angles.
mineAPS™ Drill reduces the need for checks by survey team as the information on as the location and position of drills holes can be remotely sent back to the office for review prior to blasting.
mineAPS™ Drill Guidance systems use the advanced GPS+GLONASS sensors to accurately determine the mast position in three dimensions. APS Dynatilt® dual axis tilt sensors determine the angle of the mast itself and in the case of rotary drills, the chassis roll and pitch. The software running on the APS touch screen computer calculates and displays the drill position, guiding the operator to correctly position the collar for the next hole.
Applications
- Blast hole drilling
- Rock drilling
- Blasting for overburden removal
Benefits
- Improve efficiency and reduce errors by putting the digital design directly on the machine
- Significantly reduce dependence on survey support
- Remove reliance on drill pattern markers
- Provide fast and simple setup for angled and vertical holes
- Ensure reliable, accurate drill positioning to within 10cm, resulting in better bench grading
- Provide real time site information allowing the operator to travel to drill points rapidly and safely
- Show rig position relative to pre-defined hazard areas
- Extend working hours in poor lighting or weather condition
- Captures actual drilling location, times, delays for post-drilling reports
- Machine based production reporting removes errors and improves timeliness and accuracy of management information
- Additional functionality, such as automatic Depth Monitoring, can be added at any time
- Shares data between rigs working on the same drill pattern for improved team productivity
mineAPS™ Excavator
mineAPS™ Excavator is a precision guidance system which uses advanced GPS + GLONASS positioning technology to position the bucket and teeth of an excavator bucket accurately and rapidly without the need for survey pegs and grade checkers, to within a few centimetres. This technology greatly assists the operator in digging to a design, allowing fast, repeatable and accurate positioning of the bucket. Designed for hydraulic excavators and shovels, mineAPS™ Excavator guidance offers significant operational benefits for precision ore and grade control and operator safety, through fixed hazard and proximity warnings.
Applications for mineAPS™ Excavator include Loading, Benching, Overburden removal, Bulk earthworks, creating ramps, slopes and pads and remediation projects.
