GroundHog FMS Underground

GroundHog's underground FMS extends the platform into sub-surface operations with real-time location services (RTLS), 3D mine mapping, and automated activity sequencing. A proprietary peer-to-peer mesh network extends data connectivity to remote underground areas where Wi-Fi infrastructure is unavailable, enabling near-real-time data capture without expensive network build-out across the entire mine.

The system tracks miners, equipment, and assets simultaneously with 3D maps that support both operational situational awareness and emergency response mustering. Automated shift plan generation sequences development and production activities across headings, accounting for equipment availability, personnel qualifications, and material targets. By running on commercially available tablets and leveraging existing communications infrastructure rather than requiring proprietary in-cab hardware, GroundHog Underground significantly reduces the total cost of deployment compared to traditional underground FMS installations from established mining technology vendors.
