Myriota has added terrestrial cellular connectivity to its HyperPulse 5G non-terrestrial (satellite) network and AssetHawk tracker, creating a hybrid IoT system that roams automatically between cell coverage and zero-cell remote areas. The AssetHawk device now uses both 5G NTN links and ground-based networks for continuous tracking of mobile plant, trailers and containers across mine sites and long-haul routes. For operators, this reduces blind spots in fleet and asset visibility without needing separate satellite-only or cellular-only hardware.

Sandvik Rock Processing has completed its upgraded jaw crusher range, creating a unified line aimed at safer maintenance, simpler operation and consistent performance across hard rock and quarry applications. The portfolio now standardises design, controls and wear parts to a Sandvik-wide specification, giving mines and quarries common interfaces and procedures from primary to secondary crushing. For engineers, this means easier fleet integration, streamlined spares management and more predictable crusher behaviour across different sites and ore types.

Aramine and sensmore are deploying an autonomous Aramine L140B loader into underground production at Cemex’s Rüdersdorf limestone quarry in Germany, converting the existing Aramac L140B platform into a fully automated LHD system for real-world operating conditions. The project targets safer, more efficient underground extraction as Europe pushes to secure critical raw materials, using autonomy to remove operators from the face and standardise loading cycles. Engineers should watch for data on cycle times, utilisation and maintenance behaviour versus manually operated LHDs in similar limestone headings.
