A connected digital mine, above and below ground

Private 5G, IoT sensing, and worker safety systems across pit and underground operations — real-time visibility where none existed.

Client & Context

A large mining operation

The client’s mining operation spanned open-pit and underground workings where conventional connectivity failed — leaving vehicles untracked, personnel safety dependent on manual procedures, and operational data trapped at the edge.

The Challenge

  • No reliable connectivity in underground galleries and across the pit — radio dead zones and unusable Wi-Fi.
  • Worker safety compliance relied on manual check-ins with no real-time location or environmental monitoring.
  • Fleet utilization and equipment health invisible to planning teams until end-of-shift reports.

The Solution

  • Engineered a Private 5G network with ruggedized radios covering pit, plant, and underground zones — a single secure network for people, vehicles, and sensors.
  • Deployed personnel tracking, gas and environmental sensing, and SOS systems integrated into a mine operations dashboard.
  • Connected fleet telematics and equipment sensors into live utilization and health views, feeding an operational Digital Twin of the mine.
