Sticking to the plan with machine guidance

Machine guidance helps to improve productivity of not only the machines, but the operators on site as well. High precision machine guidance technology provides a 3D visual of each machine’s location in the mine, as well as an accurate status of the machine’s position in relation to the mine plan. Machine guidance uses positioning data to track the location, volume and material type a machine is moving. The machine operator can easily view this information via onboard displays, and use this knowledge to evaluate how they can better work to the mine design. With real-time as-built information available to operators and supervisors, the technology improves efficiency and productivity on site, helping to reduce or eliminate rehandling and rework.
