Mining
Fleet telematics for mining sites and operations.
Ruggedised hardware, one-second haul-cycle telemetry, satellite connectivity for sites past the cellular grid, and custom firmware when site-specific compliance requires it. Built for the realities of Australian and New Zealand mining operations.
30 minutes, configured to your site fleet. No sales script. We respond within one business day.
- True Path 1-second telemetry
- Direct-to-Cell satellite ready
- Custom firmware in-house
- RCM + Australian-Made certified
Built where the grid ends
Mining operations routinely sit beyond cellular coverage. TRACKbox 4 is built to fail over to Direct-to-Cell satellite where the service is available, designed to keep telemetry running beyond cellular. Direct-to-Cell is live in New Zealand and rolling out in Australia where supported by network availability and plan configuration, with Iridium satellite available for remote Australian coverage today. Australian-Made certified hardware, designed for the conditions of Australian and New Zealand sites.
Mining fleet realities
Three structural decisions that matter for your site.
1-second telemetry
Haul cycles, accurately.
Most fleet telematics polls vehicle position every two minutes. For mining haul-cycle analysis - where productivity depends on accurate cycle-time measurement at sub-minute granularity - that resolution is insufficient. True Path one-second telemetry captures the cycle as it actually unfolds, not as it appears at two-minute samples.

1s
True Path one-second telemetry. Most competing providers poll every two minutes.
Custom capability examples
- Geofence-enforced site speed limits
- Mine-area entry / exit logging
- Two-way radio integration triggers
- Hazard zone proximity alerts
- Custom telemetry rates for haul cycles
Custom firmware
Site-specific compliance, built in-house.
Your site has its own compliance requirements - geofence-enforced speed limits, mine-area entry/exit logging, two-way radio integration, hazard zone alerts. Where reseller telematics requires going back to the overseas OEM and waiting quarters, Sensium writes the firmware itself. The 115 km/h speed buzzer that arrived in four days for one customer extends to mining-specific compliance the same way.
Satellite past the grid
Built to keep telemetry running past cellular.
Mining operations routinely sit beyond cellular coverage. TRACKbox 4 combines 4G LTE and Direct-to-Cell satellite connectivity in one device, ready to fail over automatically where the service is available. Direct-to-Cell is live in New Zealand and rolling out in Australia where supported by network availability and plan configuration, with Iridium satellite available for remote Australian coverage today. Built for fly-in fly-out, remote-site, and after-hours operations where the cellular network does not extend.

Frequently asked
Mining fleet questions.
Question 01
What does Sensium do for mining fleets?
Question 01
What does Sensium do for mining fleets?
Real-time vehicle tracking with one-second telemetry for accurate haul-cycle reporting, ruggedised hardware designed for site conditions, satellite connectivity for sites past the cellular grid, and custom firmware where site-specific compliance (speed buzzers, geofence enforcement, two-way radio integration) is required.
Question 02
Does Sensium handle heavy mining vehicles?
Question 02
Does Sensium handle heavy mining vehicles?
For tracking, telemetry, video, and remote access - yes. Sensium is not currently TCA-certified for NHVR Electronic Work Diary; for on-road heavy vehicle EWD compliance specifically, other providers may be more directly suited. Most on-site mining operations do not require TCA EWD - the use case is primarily on-site safety, productivity, and visibility.
Question 03
Can Sensium support site-specific compliance requirements?
Question 03
Can Sensium support site-specific compliance requirements?
Yes. The 115 km/h speed buzzer shipped in four days was a council request, but the underlying capability - custom firmware written in-house - extends to mining-specific compliance: geofence-enforced speed limits, mine-area entry/exit logging, two-way radio integration, hazard zone alerts.
Question 04
How does Sensium handle remote mining sites without cellular?
Question 04
How does Sensium handle remote mining sites without cellular?
TRACKbox 4 is Direct-to-Cell satellite ready, built to fail over to satellite automatically where the service is available when the cellular network drops out. Direct-to-Cell is live in New Zealand and rolling out in Australia where supported by network availability and plan configuration, with Iridium satellite available for remote Australian coverage today. Critical for fly-in fly-out and remote-site mining operations where the cellular grid does not reach.
Question 05
How does True Path one-second telemetry improve haul-cycle reporting?
Question 05
How does True Path one-second telemetry improve haul-cycle reporting?
Haul-cycle productivity depends on accurate cycle-time measurement at sub-minute granularity. Most fleet telematics polls position every two minutes, which is too coarse to capture a cycle as it unfolds. True Path samples every second, so load, haul, dump, and return events are resolved as they actually happen rather than reconstructed from two-minute snapshots.
Question 06
Can Sensium track light vehicles and heavy plant on the same site dashboard?
Question 06
Can Sensium track light vehicles and heavy plant on the same site dashboard?
Yes. The hard-wired in-vehicle unit covers light vehicles, utes, and powered plant, while the sealed battery-powered TB3 covers non-powered assets such as trailers, generators, and towed plant. Both report into the same Sensium Connect+ dashboard, giving a single view across the whole site fleet.
Question 07
Does Sensium offer lone-worker safety for remote-site crews?
Question 07
Does Sensium offer lone-worker safety for remote-site crews?
Yes. Every in-vehicle TRACKbox has a panic / duress button that triggers a back-to-base alert with vehicle location. A LoRa-tethered duress pendant extends protection to a worker up to around five kilometres from the vehicle - relevant for crew working away from the cab on remote sites.
Question 08
How long does the hardware last in harsh mining conditions?
Question 08
How long does the hardware last in harsh mining conditions?
TRACKbox is designed for ten-plus year deployment in Australian conditions, with some units still in service after seventeen years, a three-year warranty, and RCM certification. For mining fleets, hardware that outlasts multiple vehicle lifecycles materially improves the total cost of ownership picture.
Question 09
Can the data feed into existing mine reporting systems like Power BI or a GIS?
Question 09
Can the data feed into existing mine reporting systems like Power BI or a GIS?
Yes. Sensium Connect+ has a documented API for real-time and historical data, plus enterprise integration with tools such as Power BI, GIS, and ERP systems. Data can also be exported to CSV or PDF for reporting that has to sit alongside other site systems.
Question 10
Is the hardware certified for use in Australia and New Zealand?
Question 10
Is the hardware certified for use in Australia and New Zealand?
Yes. Sensium TRACKbox devices carry RCM (Regulatory Compliance Mark) certification, the mandatory approval for electronic equipment sold and operated in Australia and New Zealand. The hardware is also Australian-Made certified and designed and manufactured in Australia.
