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.
⛏️ 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.
⚙️ Core Technology
- 🔹 Laser or Fiber Optic Gyroscopes — high-stability angular rate measurement
- 🔹 Quartz Accelerometers — precise acceleration detection
- 🔹 Strapdown INS Architecture — rigidly fixed sensors for accurate real-time calculation
Advanced algorithms deliver centimeter-level positioning accuracy and high update rates, suitable for precision mining and continuous operations.
📡 Flexible Navigation Modes
- ✔️ Pure Inertial Navigation — fully signal-denied tunnels
- ✔️ INS + GNSS Integration — surface or transition areas
- ✔️ INS + Odometer Integration — underground vehicles
- ✔️ Zero-Velocity Update (ZUPT) — drift suppression for long-term accuracy
