Mining PNT Solutions

Mining GNSS, RTK, LPS and PNT Solutions

Norvex delivers positioning, navigation and timing solutions for safer, smarter and more efficient mining operations — from open-pit RTK vehicle guidance to GNSS-denied underground positioning.

Positioning Solutions for Modern Mining Operations

Mining operations require reliable positioning in harsh conditions including dust, vibration, low visibility, remote sites and underground environments. Norvex combines GNSS, RTK, LPS, INS and PNT technologies to support safety, automation and operational efficiency.

RTK GNSS vehicle guidance for mining dump trucks

RTK Vehicle Guidance & Safety

High-precision RTK GNSS positioning enables lane-level vehicle guidance for haul trucks and mining vehicles, especially in fog, dust, night operations and low-visibility conditions.

  • Route deviation alerts
  • Geofencing and hazard zones
  • Collision risk awareness
  • Centimeter-level vehicle positioning
GNSS fleet tracking for mining logistics and dispatch

GNSS Fleet Tracking & Logistics

Real-time GNSS tracking improves visibility across mining fleets, mobile assets and logistics workflows, helping operators monitor movement, utilization and productivity.

  • Fleet monitoring and dispatch
  • Asset and vehicle tracking
  • Material transport monitoring
  • Productivity and utilization analytics
Underground LPS and UWB positioning system for mining tunnels

Underground Positioning with LPS

In underground tunnels where GNSS signals are unavailable, local positioning systems based on UWB and LPS technologies can support tracking, safety alerts and situational awareness.

  • Personnel and vehicle tracking
  • Vehicle-to-person proximity warning
  • Emergency evacuation monitoring
  • GNSS-denied positioning
