The World’s Largest Mines Digitize and Automate with GroundHog
Welcome to GroundHog
We’ve crafted a simple, powerful, and comprehensive cloud-based mine digitization platform for mine owners and contractors. Our mission is to help you streamline and optimize every aspect of your mining operations, making your work smoother and more efficient.
Operations
Plan shifts, track in-shift progress, delays, downs, and operational data in real-time for all mining activities — from drilling to hauling.
Maintenance
Monitor fleet health with telematics, automate work orders and backlogs, and manage components and inventory.
Safety
Train and certify operators, create training programs, identify hazards, track near-miss incidents, and ensure compliance.
DITCH EXCEL, BREAK SILOS, SIMPLIFY WORK
Our intuitive platform empowers you to make swift, confident decisions with
real-time data and analytics.
Short Interval Control
Our Short Interval Control tool makes shift planning effortless by tracking pending tasks, equipment downtime, and miner attendance from the previous shift. This lets shift supervisors quickly review and finalize plans, saving valuable time otherwise spent on task allocation.
Real-time Location System
Real-Time Location Systems (RTLS) enable precise tracking of assets, personnel, and equipment, offering real-time location data to boost efficiency and safety. In underground mining, RTLS is crucial for identifying no-go zones and ensuring quick, accurate responses to incidents. It also provides automated trip counting, tracks material movement, and ensures absolute transparency in operations.
Fleet Management System
Our Fleet Management system accurately tracks ore grade. In open-pit mining, high-precision technology maps specific drill and dig blocks. For underground mining, it utilizes drill sample bags, muck sample data, and geology call-outs to monitor ore grade and ensure precise routing to the appropriate destination.
Telematics
Monitoring equipment performance and maximizing uptime are crucial for any mining operation. We install third-party payload and telemetry units that capture tonnage and essential equipment data, including engine hours, fuel consumption, and percussion and compressor hours. This data is integrated into our platform, enabling real-time monitoring.
Safety LMS
Keep your training plans current and distribute them effortlessly with our Safety LMS product. Track miner certifications and expiry dates via mobile scans from the field, simplifying compliance and audits. Integrate with our FMS product to ensure that operators with the right skills are matched to the correct equipment.
Executive Dashboards and Reports
We integrate with Power BI and Tableau to provide powerful reports and dashboards for visualizing captured data. You can view trend analysis, track key metrics, and generate detailed reports, including end-of-shift and utilization reports. Our dedicated team ensures these reports and dashboards are highly customizable to meet your specific needs.
