Connectivity is at the heart of modern mining. MST’s solutions enable real-time access to data from a wide range of field sensors and IoT devices—supporting automation, environmental monitoring, and smarter decision-making across mine and tunnelling environments.
Vehicle Telemetry
MST’s vehicle telemetry units provide access to vehicle data, location, and engine operating parameters and loads. Data is then sent to our HELIX Telemetry software, or your third party system, allowing the control room to analyse, report and manage the information accordingly. MST’s two main solutions are as follows:
IMPACT Vehicle Intelligence Platform (VIP) sends data from any area of the mine cored by the wireless network. If a vehicle travels beyond network coverage the VIP unit will log data until the vehicle is back within range.
SENSA Hub feeds both location and machine interface data into HELIX Telemetry, providing real time tracking and analysis. This system allows continuous monitoring of machinery without the need for direct physical inspection. Operations teams can monitor engine health and engine status, track live vehicle locations underground, receive alerts on operational thresholds and automatically log data when out of network range.
- Informed decision making and optimised performance
- Vehicle diagnostics
- Off-line data buffering
- Integrated location tracking
- Integrated proximity awareness

Automation
MST’s automation platform allows sites to streamline operations, reduce manual tasks, and improve safety across remote and underground areas. By integrating IoT sensors and field equipment, critical processes can be controlled and monitored centrally—either manually or automatically. Common applications include automating remote pump and ventilation fan control, power and energy usage monitoring, event triggered alerts and alarm conditions, traffic and intersection light control and emergency stench gas release.
At the core of these systems is AXON Control—a plug-and-play industrial automation module designed for easy deployment, scalability, and connectivity. It supports MODBUS and other protocols, making it simple to connect third-party hardware directly to HELIX.
- Automate various processes
- Versatile solution
- Plug and play AXON module
- Cost effective
- Seamless integration with HELIX for alarming and historical trends.
Strata Movement
Monitor strata movement with MST’s Wireless Sensor Network (WSN), which uses self-forming mesh networks to connect geotechnical sensors in hard-to-reach underground areas. Built for harsh mining environments, the WSN delivers real-time data to the mine’s central network without the need for cabling, enabling safer and more efficient monitoring of ground conditions.
When a blast is shot on the surface, strata movements should be measured underground to understand the impact that has been placed in this already difficult environment. Capturing this data is imperative when keeping people safe and understanding long term strata behaviour.
- Monitor strata movement
- Designed to fit rock bolts
- Personnel and asset safety
- Low power consumption
