GroundHog FMS Underground
About 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.

AutoMine
by Sandvik
AutoMine is Sandvik's comprehensive equipment automation product family covering underground and surface mining. The underground portfolio includes Tele-Remote (single-machine remote control), Lite (single-machine autonomous), Multi-Lite (multi-machine autonomous), and Fleet (full-fleet automation with automated mission assignment and traffic control). AutoMine enables trucks and loaders to autonomously navigate mines during full production cycles, including shift changes and blast clearance.
DISPATCH Fleet Management System
by Modular Mining
DISPATCH uses linear programming, best-path, and dynamic programming algorithms to automatically assign haul trucks to loading and dumping points, minimizing queue times and maximizing production. It provides centralized management of all mine operations — equipment allocation, shift changes, refueling, and downtime events — via real-time mine graphics and in-cab operator guidance. The system supports all major truck and equipment brands with over 175 OEM interfaces.
FleetControl
by Haultrax
FleetControl adds active dispatch and operational control capabilities on top of FleetOps. It provides drag-and-drop fleet assignment, material tracking, time and activity management, and mine plan execution through a simple, supervisor-friendly interface designed for frontline use rather than dedicated dispatch controllers.
FleetOps
by Haultrax
FleetOps automatically captures production data, cycle times, and equipment utilization through GPS tracking and algorithmic interpretation — no in-cab operator screens or input required. This eliminates data-entry burden on operators while providing accurate production reporting, KPI tracking, and asset utilization metrics. The store-and-forward architecture eliminates the need for expensive site-wide wireless connectivity. FleetOps partners with Australian hardware firm Motium for rugged, OEM-agnostic edge computing devices.
