Excavator and blast drill
High Precision Machine Guidance
A complete guidance system for open-pit excavators and blast drills in live 3D, built on 2–3 cm RTK GPS, Andorean rugged hardware, and LoRa/RTK that keeps working when the site network does not.
Andorean Machine Guidance System is a complete solution for directing open-pit excavators and blast-hole drilling in a high-precision, real-time 3D environment. It is built on RTK GPS at 2–3 cm, Andorean’s own rugged hardware, and LoRa/RTK that does not depend on site network infrastructure — so it stays stable in Mongolian mine conditions.
Excavator
Operators see the geological block model, bench elevations, and slope standards in live 3D, so digging follows the plan. Bucket trajectory, material movement, and operator performance sit on one platform.

- Geological block model visualization
- Operator performance and skill evaluation
Benefits and performance
Lower cost — high-precision digging
Overcut, undercut, material loss, and fuel waste go down.
Higher productivity — cycle time improves
Cycle time stabilizes and work completed per shift increases.
Safer operations
Slope angles that can fail, grade errors, and hazard zones are flagged in real time.
Operator-data driven management
Skill gaps shrink. Every operator works at a more consistent level.
Network-independent operation
Andorean hardware + RTK GPS stays reliable when the network is weak.
Use cases
Mining
Selective digging against the geological block model.
Road and infrastructure
Grade control on haul roads and pads.
Construction
Earthworks where design surfaces must be held.
