Main benefits
Improved safety
Drastically reduces the risk of injury and accidents, by removing operators from hazardous environments.
Increased productivity
Enhances overall productivity, as the need for operator breaks or shift changes is reduced.
Brand-agnostic & interoperable
Seamlessly integrates with any machine, make, model or year, ensuring flexibility and ease of integration into existing operations.
Be safe and productive while keeping your distance
Hexagon TeleOp is remote-control technology designed for heavy machinery and equipment. Operate heavy machinery from a control station on the surface or a safe area underground, regardless of distance.
TeleOp allows you to put a safe distance between miners and hazardous working conditions while getting more done in less time and at a lower cost using the heavy machinery you already own.
Flexible options include bring-your-own digital network integration or our plug-and-play backbone
network. Our solution design team ensures backward compatibility with updates and changes for easy integration and continued performance across existing systems and technologies.
Underground Wi-Fi and digital network are part of the bundle, which can be leveraged for other
operational use. You have full control of installed networks. 3D SLAM (simultaneous localisation and mapping) technology helps you navigate complex and dynamic environments without human intervention, providing precise location and mapping information for autonomous equipment underground.
Advanced processing capabilities
Equipped with cutting-edge onboard processing power, including NVIDIA GPUs, TeleOp can handle complex algorithms and large datasets, essential for future autonomous applications.
High-resolution GMSL cameras
Integrates Gigabit Multimedia Serial Link (GMSL) cameras to support high-speed data transmission with minimal bandwidth consumption, allowing for scalable and efficient video processing, crucial for autonomous systems.
Robust sensor suite
Incorporates a comprehensive range of sensors, including global navigation satellite system (GNSS) and other critical components, to ensure precise navigation and situational awareness.
