Design Services
Crucial to the application of machine guidance to any system is the evaluation of the site and the potential benefit of available and future services. Through consultation with mine managers and planners APS mining engineers aim to tailor the most productive and effective strategies for individual operations. 
Life of the mine
APS can look at the proposed operation and plan a system which accommodates the expansion or long term evolution of the operation. With the aid of 3D modelling APS can demonstrate satellite availability from any point in the excavation and accurately access application performance at any time during the life of the mine.
Infrastructure
When planning GPS based machine guidance in any mine it is essential to establish and maintain a strong signal network. Geology and existing infrastructure must be considered when designing the network. APS has the experience to assess these constraints and identify optimal solutions for any site.
