Our vehicle-mounted optical gyroscope inertial navigation system (INS) provides reliable positioning, orientation, and navigation in GNSS-denied and extreme underground mining environments. Designed for autonomous and semi-autonomous mining operations, it enables continuous, high-precision navigation where traditional systems fail.
โ๏ธ Why Underground Mining Requires INS
- Satellite signals are unavailable underground
- High vibration, dust, moisture, and temperature challenges exist
- Traditional navigation solutions often fail, causing downtime and safety risks
Our INS offers a fully autonomous navigation solution, ensuring real-time position, velocity, and attitude data for mining trucks, drilling rigs, roadheaders, and underground loaders.
