Improve Mining Site Security with GPS Satellite Tracking

Mining companies and contractors looking for a way to improve site security without sacrificing profitability need only to look at Topcon Tierra’s GPS satellite tracking system - Tierra™.

Specifically, Tierra™ offers the tools for GPS tracking and monitoring of mining and heavy equipment so that you can:

  • Maximize equipment deployment and utilization
  • Minimize losses due to theft or unauthorized equipment use
  • Save on fuel costs and reduce emissions by monitoring and managing excessive idling
  • Respond to maintenance issues only when there is a need
  • Optimize productivity and reduce job costs

GPS for Mining and Heavy Equipment
Through our Tierra™ system, Topcon Tierra provides vehicle visibility through proprietary technology comprising GPS for mining and heavy equipment that delivers data to any web-enabled device through our fleet management software application called Tierra™ Web.

Tierra™ provides situational awareness for fleet managers to monitor mining site security, asset utilization, vehicle and equipment maintenance, as well as productivity.

Maximize Deployment with GPS Monitoring of Mining Equipment?
Through GPS monitoring of machines, you know where and how your equipment is being used. You know immediately if equipment moves outside of a pre-defined area through a “geo-fence”. Location information also helps you deploy equipment and workforce resources more efficiently.

Reduce Risk of Theft and Expedite Equipment Recovery
Tierra™ provides precise location information to help you monitor the location of your vehicles and heavy equipment. From your desktop, you can draw a radius of security to guard against asset theft. A “geofence” around your heavy equipment or vehicles provides a secure perimeter. Once this asset-centric fence is broken, an alert is immediately sent to notify you of the security breach.

Save on Fuel Costs and Reduce Emissions
Through diagnostic interfaces, Tierra™ provides you with the data to more effectively monitor idling time so that you can optimize fuel consumption and efficiency.

Respond to Maintenance Issues Only When There is a Need
Tierra™ replaces labor intensive and mistake prone manual data collection regimens. And with accurate maintenance data provided daily, managers can be certain that machines are being serviced at the appropriate maintenance intervals. And service technicians will no longer have to search for the machines they’ve been sent out to service. They’ll know right where they are.

Tierra Technology is Your “GPS in Mining” Specialist
Timely access to heavy equipment diagnostic reports and machine security monitoring will positively impact all facets of your operations, including sales, vehicle maintenance, customer service and management. Topcon Tierra's GPS mining solutions can help.
