Fleet Data Monitoring – Real-Time Insights That Drive Smarter Mining
Data is everywhere in mining, but unless it’s fast, focused, and actionable, it’s just noise. Nerospec SK’s Fleet Data Monitoring platform turns raw machine data into decisions that drive performance, reduce downtime, and optimise safety across every shift.
Our retrofit-ready solution equips machines of any make or age with real-time monitoring capabilities. From productivity tracking to health diagnostics and predictive alerts, Fleet Data Monitoring empowers mines with the visibility they need to run leaner, safer, and smarter.
• Short Interval Monitoring And Control (SIMAC) – Data Platform
At the heart of the system is SIMAC: a short-interval monitoring and control platform built for demanding underground and surface mining environments. Designed for fleetwide deployment, SIMAC continuously collects and visualises data through intelligent dashboards, allowing operators, dispatch, and management to:
• Track productivity metrics like machine runtime, tonnage moved, and route efficiency
• Monitor health indicators including fluid levels, brake wear, temperatures, and pressures
• Receive automated alerts for preventive maintenance, system faults, and safety violations
• Streamline reporting with role-based dashboards and real-time fleet comparisons
SIMAC is powered by either nanoHUB or PicoHUB, depending on the machine’s hardware requirements. These onboard units ensure reliable, accurate data collection across even the most rugged conditions.
• Store & Forward – Connectivity Without Infrastructure Overload
Not every mine has full network coverage, and that’s where Store & Forward comes in. With this solution, machine data is locally stored and automatically forwarded to a central access point via other vehicles passing through connected zones.
This removes the need for full mine-wide infrastructure rollouts and ensures no data is lost due to temporary connectivity issues. Our neroMARSHAL unit handles the forwarding process, ensuring smooth and secure data transfers between machines and control rooms.
• Asset Tracking – Know Where Everything Is
Visibility doesn’t stop at productivity. Our asset tracking system lets you know exactly where vehicles and equipment are at all times.
Using neroPIN and neroDUST devices, your fleet can be tracked throughout the mine, even in GPS-denied environments. This location data integrates into SIMAC dashboards, giving operations teams the ability to:
• Monitor vehicle and asset movement
• Reduce time spent locating equipment
• Improve coordination across shifts and tasks
Fleet Data Monitoring gives you more than data, it gives you control. From predictive maintenance and safety enforcement to productivity tracking and asset visibility, Nerospec SK provides the tools you need to mine smarter.
