trackPIN™

trackPIN™ is a ruggedized high precision positioning and communication system suitable for haul trucks and light vehicles and offered at an unbeatable price point. A fusion of multi-constellation RTK with two levels of dead reckoning enables centimeter positioning with high availability in even the most challenging environments.

Dual Antenna Heading Sensor Fusion

Temperature Calibrated Sensors Multi-constellation RTK

V2X & Wifi Communication Interoperability

Optional dual antennas allow trackPIN™ to maintain an accurate heading on vehicles regardless of whether they are stationary or moving.

Uses multiple satellites for faster RTK acquisition and availability in challenging environments such as mining pits.

Features an open-API for custom integration into existing systems.Ethernet, CAN, and RS485 enable integration with Fleet Management Systems.

Enabled with integrated 1W wifi router as well as vehicle-to-infrastructure capability.

Proprietary smart sensor fusion algorithms combine the best of RTK positioning with dead reckoning positioning for ultimate accuracy and ultimate availability of output.

Internal sensors are fully calibrated individually across the entire operating temperature range (-40°C to 85°C) to provide reliable data.

surveyPIN™ inherits all of the features and benefits of trackPIN™, and adds multi frequency RTK capability and 7mm accuracy for survey-grade performance. It provides best-in-class performance while maintaining our commitment to providing a low-cost-of-ownership solution to any operation.

Streamlined Hardware & Cabling

Remote Management & Reporting Interoperability

2.5cm accuracy ensures state-of-the-art performance for DriveAssist™ solutions while optional dual antennas maintain an accurate heading regardless of vehicle position.

Unified hardware and cabling ensures easy maintenance, a low cost of ownership, and easy upgrades in the future.

Features an open-API for custom integration into existing systems.Ethernet, CAN, and RS485 enable integration with Fleet Management Systems.

Central software allows mines to visualize, track, manage, and maintain DriveAssist™ remotely with no vehicle downtime. It also enables remote audits for life-critical applications.

Proprietary smart sensor fusion algorithms combine the best of RTK positioning with dead reckoning positioning for ultimate accuracy and availability of output.

A ruggedized 4” interface provides operators with the information they need in a glance, while also minimizing cab clutter. Other options are available.

No False Alarms 2.5cm Accuracy Low Cost


Our Predictive Collision Avoidance solution utilizes DriveAssist™’s low-cost and high-performance platform. This solution is tailored to maximize situational awareness as well as predict and prevent collisions between vehicles of any type.

Collision Avoidance

Uses multi-satellite GNSS for global tracking and/or ARM-77™ radars for local tracking

No loss of vehicle position alongside high walls or in deep pits thanks to Enhanced Dead Reckoning (EDR)

Predicts vehicle position & generates Dynamic Probabilistic Safety Zones based on vehicle type, response time, dynamics and behavior

Handles ALL traffic scenarios: Tailgating, two-way/parallel driving, elevation difference, path cut-off, obstructed intersection, truck spotting, dozer cleaning; other customized scenarios can be added


Proximity Detection

Truck Spotting

Predictive Braking

Adaptive Cruise Control

Locally mounted 24 or 77GHz positioning sensors provide application specific solutions, such as increasing operator awareness and avoiding contact between equipment and fixed infrastructure.

Assisted truck spotting increases the repeatability of truck spotting maneuvers and reduces cycle times by eliminating human error as well as the need for re-spotting.

Predictive braking helps avoid collisions by slowing vehicles down when the presence of a vehicle, object, or personnel is detected in the path of the vehicle.

The mining equivalent of adaptive cruise control from the automotive sector, our Adaptive Cruise Control ensures vehicles slow down and speed up according to the vehicle in front of them, helping to gain fuel economy and optimize cycle times.

Supports single-loading and double-loading operations

Intuitive interface guides operators step by step

Sensor technology tested and proven in the automotive sector

77GHz technology means 3x better object separation and 5x better distance accuracy than 24GHz

Customizable and configurable to specific mine needs

77GHz technology means 3x better object separations and 5x better distance accuracy than 24GHz

Mountable on both vehicles and infrastructure

Track up to 40 concurrent objects of any type with 77GHz technology


RIGID Custom Solutions

The shared underlying technology that powers our line of vehicle intelligence solutions can also be incorporated into custom solutions designed for specific mining operations. RIGID ROBOTICS’ custom solutions can be as simple as modifications to our existing product line, such as the implementation of power over ethernet, or as complex as turn key autonomy solutions. Our team of engineers are always available to provide a free consultation regarding your specific needs and challenges.

Auto Truck Spotting

Adaptive Truck Platooning

Unmanned Vehicle Navigation

Automatic truck spotting removes the potential for human error, further decreasing incidents while also increasing efficiency and decreasing cycle times.

One human operated truck leads a flexible number of supervised or fully autonomous trucks. Each follower truck remains on the exact path set by the leader while maintaining a constant minimum distance.

Supervised or fully autonomous machines reduce the need for highly skilled operators, lowering operating costs while boosting productivity and safety.
