Revolutionizing Heavy Equipment Management with High Speed GPS Tracking (HSGT)
Managing massive assets in outdoor environments—whether on a remote mining site or a busy airport tarmac—requires more than just knowing roughly where a vehicle is. It requires knowing exactly where it is, how fast it is moving, and how it is oriented in real-time.
IndoTraq is addressing these challenges with High Speed GPS Tracking (HSGT), a technology designed specifically to track heavy equipment outdoors with unprecedented precision.
The Power of Sensor Fusion
Standard GPS often falls short in industrial applications due to slow update rates and lack of precision. IndoTraq’s HSGT solves this by fusing RTK GPS (Real-Time Kinematic) with an Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU).
This combination delivers two critical advantages:
1. Centimeter-Level Accuracy: The system provides precise location data essential for maneuvering large machinery.
2. High Speed Updates: The system operates at update rates up to 100 hertz, ensuring that fast-moving assets are tracked continuously without data gaps.
Use Case: Mining Operations
The mining industry has been an early adopter of this technology. HSGT can be used to track heavy mining equipment, ensuring that haul trucks and excavators are monitored efficiently.
According to Gary Miles of the Central Mining Group, IndoTraq’s technology has had a profound impact on their operations:
“IndoTraq’s high-speed wireless 3D position tracking technology has revolutionized how we manage our heavy mining equipment. Their team worked closely with us to tailor a solution that perfectly fits our needs, ensuring efficiency and safety on site.”
Use Case: Aviation Maintenance
Precision is equally vital in aviation. HSGT is capable of tracking airplanes during maintenance operations. By providing real-time data on the location of aircraft outdoors, ground crews can manage logistics and towing operations with centimeter-level confidence, reducing the risk of accidental collisions or placement errors.
Rugged and Tailored for the Field
Outdoor environments are unpredictable. To ensure reliability, IndoTraq offers waterproof tracking tags, allowing the technology to be embedded in applications where water may be present. This durability is essential for outdoor surveying and heavy industry.
Furthermore, IndoTraq understands that every site is unique. As a company, they specialize in “working directly with customers to develop tailored solutions for their specific applications”. Whether for mining, aviation, or surveying, HSGT provides the customized, high-speed data needed to modernize outdoor asset management.
