Mining
Mining fleets are not limited to trucks on the road. They often include loaders, service vehicles, trailers, generators, containers, support equipment, and high-value mobile assets spread across demanding worksites. GPS Tracking Canada provides Geotab-based tracking solutions that help mining businesses see where their equipment is, how it is being used, when it needs attention, and whether it is operating efficiently. This gives managers the data they need to improve safety, protect assets, control costs, and support day-to-day operations.

Track Mining Vehicles and Equipment in Near Real Time
Mining teams need to know where vehicles, equipment, and assets are, especially when operations are spread across remote sites or multiple work zones. Geotab-integrated GPS tracking gives managers near real-time visibility into vehicle location, trip history, activity, and site movement. This can help dispatchers find the closest available unit, confirm equipment use, reduce time spent searching for assets, and improve coordination between field teams and office staff.


Use GO9 RUGGED for Harsh Mining Environments
Mining environments can be rough on standard hardware. Dust, vibration, weather exposure, moisture, and external installation needs make durability a serious consideration. Geotab’s GO9 RUGGED is designed for harsh conditions and can support real-time equipment tracking, accident detection, over-the-air firmware updates, and GNSS location support. For mining fleets that need dependable telematics on heavy-duty vehicles or off-road equipment, GPS Tracking Canada can help match the right Geotab hardware, installation approach, and platform setup to the operating environment.
Improve Mine Site Safety with Driver and Equipment Insights
Safety is one of the strongest reasons for mining companies to invest in telematics. Geotab-connected solutions can help monitor driver behaviour, identify risky driving patterns, support coaching, and provide location data when a vehicle or asset needs attention. Fleet managers can review speeding, harsh braking, harsh acceleration, collision-related events, and other safety indicators to better understand risk across the operation.


Reduce Downtime with Maintenance and Engine Data
Unexpected equipment downtime can interrupt production, delay crews, and increase repair costs. Geotab fleet maintenance tools help mining companies monitor engine health, diagnostic issues, engine hours, maintenance reminders, and work order activity from a connected platform. Instead of relying only on manual inspections or delayed reports, managers can identify potential issues earlier and prioritize repairs based on real data.
Manage Powered and Non-Powered Assets with GO Anywhere
Mining operations often depend on assets that do not always have a driver or engine connection, such as trailers, containers, generators, mobile equipment, and other high-value assets. Geotab’s GO Anywhere and GO Anywhere Plus asset tracking solutions help businesses monitor powered and non-powered assets, improve utilization, support theft recovery, and reduce time spent locating equipment.


Bring Mixed Fleet Data into One Platform with AEMP 2.0
Many mining fleets operate equipment from multiple manufacturers, which can make data management difficult. Geotab’s AEMP 2.0 integration can help bring data from equipment brands such as Caterpillar, John Deere, and Komatsu into MyGeotab for a more unified view of on-road and off-road assets. This helps mining companies reduce data silos, compare utilization across equipment types, and manage mixed fleets from one system instead of switching between multiple portals.

Frequently asked questions

What is GO Anywhere Plus used for in mining?
GO Anywhere Plus can be used to track powered equipment, trailers, generators, and other high-value assets. It helps mining companies monitor location, movement, utilization, engine hours, and unauthorized movement depending on configuration.
How does GPS tracking improve mine site safety?
GPS tracking improves mine site safety by helping managers monitor driver behaviour, identify risky patterns, locate vehicles faster, review incident data, and support coaching. Better visibility can also help teams respond more quickly when a vehicle or asset needs attention.
Can Geotab help reduce equipment downtime?
Yes. Geotab fleet maintenance tools can help mining companies monitor engine health, diagnostic issues, engine hours, maintenance schedules, and work orders. This helps teams address problems earlier and reduce unexpected downtime.
How does telematics help with preventive maintenance?
Telematics helps with preventive maintenance by tracking vehicle usage, engine hours, fault codes, and service schedules. Mining companies can use this data to plan maintenance before small issues become larger and more expensive repairs.
Can GPS tracking help reduce idling in mining fleets?
Yes. GPS tracking and telematics can show when vehicles or equipment are idling, how long they idle, and where idling happens most often. This helps managers reduce fuel waste, improve efficiency, and coach operators when needed.
How can mining companies use geofencing?
Mining companies can use geofencing to create virtual zones around worksites, yards, restricted areas, fuel stations, storage zones, or equipment parking areas. Alerts can notify managers when vehicles or assets enter or leave specific locations.
Can Geotab help prevent mining equipment theft?
