By Robotic Systems

One rugged box.
Every interface your mine site needs.

MineTAG is a low-cost, easy-install, all-in-one mining-grade computer — edge processing, LTE, GPS, Wi-Fi, CAN, serial and analog I/O in a single sealed, pole-mountable unit.

01

Low Cost

One integrated unit replaces a whole cabinet of parts — enclosure, computer, modem, GPS, UPS, I/O modules and antennas. Ordered to your spec, tested and potted in the factory.

02

Easy Install

A single 18-pin connector and one clamp mount. Bolt it to a pole, plug in vehicle power, and it boots itself. No cabinet, no cooling, no wiring loom design required.

03

All-in-One

Quad-core Linux computer, 4G LTE, multi-constellation GNSS, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, CAN, RS485/RS422, six protected analog inputs and a built-in UPS — completely sealed with passive cooling.

Why MineTAG

Built for the harshest sites on earth

Ruggedised, factory-potted hardware for mining, automotive and outdoor deployments — engineered and assembled by Robotic Systems in Australia.

MineTAG connectors and ports: triple antenna, 18-pin Amphenol connector, M12 Ethernet, USB and HDMI
⚡

Survives dirty vehicle power

9–36V input with reverse-polarity, overvoltage and transient protection, EMI filtering and under-voltage lockout. Wire it straight into machine power.

🔋

Built-in UPS — no corrupted filesystems

Supercapacitor UPS detects power loss and gives up to 20 seconds to shut down safely. Ideal for machines with switched or unreliable power.

❄️

Sealed and passively cooled

IP66K high-pressure washdown rated, fully potted at the factory, no fans or vents. Operates from −20°C to 60°C ambient.

🧠

Real edge computing power

Raspberry Pi CM5 with a 2.4GHz quad-core ARM Cortex-A76, up to 16GB RAM and 64GB eMMC. Runs standard Linux — your stack, your containers, your models.

Applications

One platform, many jobs

Deploy the same low-cost hardware across your whole fleet and light it up with different software.

Asset Management

Track location, hours, and utilisation of every machine and light vehicle on site in real time over LTE.

AI Analytics

Run vision and machine-learning models at the edge — add M.2 AI accelerator cards for heavier workloads.

Safety Monitoring

Monitor operator behaviour, proximity and machine state to keep people out of harm's way.

Operator Assistance

Interface with machine CAN and sensors to give operators live guidance and alerts.

Fault Detection

Watch analog and CAN signals for early warning signs and phone home before failures become downtime.

R&D Data Capture

High-resolution logging of analog, serial and CAN data with GPS timestamping for field trials.
