Mining & Heavy
Equipment Tracking + Cameras.
Built for the Mine Floor.
GPS tracking and in-cab cameras working together — no-go zone geofencing, ADAS + DMS operator fatigue alerts, equipment usage monitoring, vibration alerts, and hardware built for the harshest conditions in South Africa.
The Challenge
Mining Operations Are Complex and High-Risk
High-value equipment, restricted zones, shift-based operations, and extreme environments demand more than standard fleet tracking.
Restricted Zone Violations
Unauthorised equipment in blasting zones, hazardous areas, or adjacent mining sections creates life-threatening risk and major regulatory exposure under the MHSA.
Equipment Theft & Misuse
Multi-million-rand assets operating across vast mine properties are vulnerable to after-hours theft, unauthorised use between shifts, and fuel siphoning.
Utilisation Blind Spots
Without engine hours and utilisation data, mine managers can't tell which equipment is overworked, which sits idle, or when preventive maintenance is actually due.
Our Solution
Purpose-Built for Mining Operations
Rugged devices, mine-specific geofencing, and operational analytics built around shift-based workflows.
Advanced Mine Geofencing
- Unlimited polygon zones (blasting, hazmat, restricted)
- Instant alert on unauthorised zone entry/exit
- Time-based rules per shift schedule
- Vehicle-class access control per zone
Vibration & Impact Monitoring
- Harsh terrain impact logging
- Rollover and tipping event detection
- Overload / overrevving alerts
- Equipment abuse reports for maintenance planning
Engine Hours & Usage Tracking
- Engine hours vs calendar-based servicing
- Idle time reduction — significant fuel savings
- Shift utilisation reports per operator
- Cost-per-hour analytics per machine
After-Hours Security
- Movement alerts outside shift hours
- Immobilisation support on selected hardware
- SAPS-ready incident reports with GPS tracks
- Multi-site coverage from single dashboard
Hardware
Built to Work Together
Hardwired trackers, plug-and-play fuel readers, in-cab AI cameras, 360° surround MDVR coverage, wireless sensors, and ten-year asset tags — specified, fitted, and supported by one ACM team so every machine, vehicle, sensor, and bowser is accounted for on the same fleet view.
Telematics · Vehicles
Hardwired or plug-and-play — we match the device to the vehicle
Heavy Machinery
ACM Heavy Tracker
Haul trucks · Excavators · Dozers · Drill rigs
Engine hours, fuel rate, and J1939 telemetry pulled straight off the CAN bus — even from a 60-tonne dumper in a deep open-cast pit. Dual-band GNSS holds a fix where single-band trackers drift.
Light Vehicles
ACM Light Tracker
Supervisor bakkies · LDVs · Contractor pickups
Compact, hidden install for the supervisor and contractor fleet — same dashboard, same alert rules, same evidence trail as the haul-truck stack. Owner-operated contractors stay visible without a separate platform.
Fuel & ECU Reading
ACM Fuel Tracker
OBDII plug-and-play · No hardwiring
Plugs into the OBDII port — fuel level, RPM, fault codes, and CAN data straight from the vehicle ECU. Ready in a minute. Compatibility depends on the vehicle's CAN implementation, so we test on your fleet before fitment.
Cameras · Two Tiers
Pick by mine type — start with one, scale to the full surround stack
AI Dashcam
ACM AI Dashcam
Forward road · In-cab driver-facing
AI watches the road and the operator at the same time — flagging fatigue, phone use, and forward-collision risk while there's still time to react. When something does happen, you have the footage 30 seconds either side of the event.
360° Surround MDVR
ACM 360° Surround MDVR
Front · Rear · Left · Right · Bird's-eye stitched
Four wide-angle cameras stitched into a live bird's-eye view — the operator sees pedestrians, light vehicles, and obstacles in every blind spot of a haul truck or excavator. Pairs with a multi-channel MDVR so every manoeuvre is recorded for incident review.
Sensors & Asset Tags
Wireless Sensor
ACM Wireless Sensor
Door · Temperature · Humidity · Tamper
Pairs over Bluetooth with any of our trackers — no wiring, no power. Mount one inside a fuel cap, on a cab door, in an engine bay, or in a fuel tank. The tracker pulls the readings into the same dashboard as GPS and camera data.
Non-Powered Assets
ACM Asset Tag
Skip bins · Fuel bowsers · Generators · Trailers
Magnetic-mount, ten-year battery, no wiring, no SIM swap. Already in service with BHP and Rio Tinto on Western Australia mine sites — the same hardware now tracking your skip bins, water tankers, and fuel bowsers across multiple pits.
Two specialised systems. One coordinated fleet view.
Telematics, sensors, and asset tags live in ACM Destiny— live map, geofences, trip history, engine data, and alerts. Cameras live on a dedicated video platform — DMS/ADAS events, on-demand footage, and 360° surround review. Both fitted by the same install team, both supported by the same 24/7 bureau, and joined up where it matters: a fatigue alert from the cabin camera and the vehicle's tracker position land on the same incident timeline.

Case Study
RepresentativeWithin 60 days of installation, equipment idle time dropped 31% and restricted-zone violations went to zero.
A 43-unit fleet operating across two open-cast sites faced the typical mining headaches: equipment used between shifts without authorisation, no automated enforcement of restricted zones, and calendar-based maintenance rather than engine-hours-based. The combined ACM stack — trackers, geofences, engine-hours reporting, and bureau alerts — addressed all three within the first two months.
Idle-time alerts reduced average daily idle from 2.1h to 1.4h per machine
Zero restricted-zone violations in first 90 days post-deployment
Engine-hours-based servicing extended average component life by 12%
* Representative scenario based on typical SA mining deployments and industry-benchmark outcomes. Actual results vary by operation, fleet size, terrain, and configuration. Named customer references available on request.
