Case Study: BESC achieves precision trailer safety monitoring with Advanced Navigation Certus INS

BESC improves trailer angle monitoring to 0.1° with Advanced Navigation

BESC, a specialist electrical engineering consultancy for mining operations, faced the challenge of protecting multi-million dollar mining equipment from damage caused by inaccurate angle monitoring between prime movers and trailers. Inaccuracies beyond 0.5° risked costly repairs, collisions, and operational delays. To address this, they partnered with Advanced Navigation.

Advanced Navigation implemented its Certus inertial navigation system to deliver high-precision, real-time angle monitoring at 0.1° accuracy. This solution consolidated multiple sensors into a single robust unit, simplified the system architecture, and provided comprehensive early warnings to operators. The results for BESC included a significant reduction in tyre replacement costs, decreased maintenance downtime, and the protection of their high-value equipment investment.
