Civil Mining System

Mining Survey Highly Accurate Data

For high-precision mining survey applications, measurement performance and repeatability are essential. FOG delivers superior performance in GNSS denied environments, achieving heading accuracy up to 0.05 arcsec. It operates independently without GNSS signals, facilitating accurate data collection for mining site mapping and evaluation.

⁰¹ Accurate underground navigation

Based on FOG technology, ZIDOTECH’s AHRS and INS are able to operate in GNSS denied underground mining settings, offering undisturbed navigation at all times. Real-time and accurate tracking of equipment and vehicle positions enables:

optimal route planning

equipment and personal safety by avoiding potential hazards (underground cavities, unstable terrain)

High-precision drilling

ZIDOTECH AHRS provide accurate data on drilling machines’ attitude and heading, enabling precise drilling operations. Thanks to these data, operators that drill machines reach the desired location accurately and drill the holes with the required precision while maintaining the machine stability. This is crucial for efficient and effective mining operations.

Continuous operations and high productivity levels

For some mining machines, alignment time can result in significant costs due to operational interruptions. In the cases when electrical devices must be grounded, ZIDOTECH AHRS or INS need to re-initiate their alignment process. Our INS offers rapid startup alignment, as quick as 5 minutes, which results in time and cost savings on the field, enhancing overall efficiency. In addition, INS capability to operate autonomously, without reliance on external signals, guarantees continuous functionality and maintains high productivity levels, even in GNSS denied areas。

⁰³ High resistance to shocks and vibrations

ZIDOTECH systems are engineered to endure the challenging conditions found in mining settings, including vibrations, dust, and extreme temperatures. Robust and highly resistant to rugged environments, it features temperature tolerance ranging from -40°C to +55°C, enabling reliable performance under the harshest operational circumstances.
