Bringing Human-Like Intelligence to Underground Equipment Tracking
For years, mining operators have struggled to track mobile equipment underground, where GPS simply doesn’t work. Traditional solutions completely rely on beacon-based systems like BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) or UWB (Ultra-Wideband) anchors, but they come with major challenges:
⚠ High Infrastructure Costs – Requires extensive beacon deployment and maintenance.
⚠ Signal Interference – Underground environments disrupt wireless signals.
⚠ Limited Accuracy – Positioning errors due to reflections and obstructions.
But how do humans know where they are? We navigate by combining memory (past experiences) and vision (real-time perception).
LoopX has taken the same human-inspired approach to underground equipment tracking. Their advanced LiDAR-based SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping), combined with Vision AI, allows mobile equipment to map and localize itself underground—without full reliance on external infrastructure.
✅ Higher Accuracy – Real-time precision with LiDAR and AI fusion.
✅ Minimal Infrastructure – Reduces dependence on fixed beacons.
✅ Comprehensive Situational Awareness – Geolocation fused with Vision AI for a complete operational view.
As a key feature of LoopX AI-Powered Situational Awareness System, it ensures that the right vehicle is in the right place at the right time—safely.
