What Is the Stonex Drill Rig Guidance System?
The Stonex Drill Rig Guidance System is an advanced GNSS-based solution designed to guide drill operators to the correct location, orientation and alignment with confidence. By integrating digital mine plans with real-time positioning, operators can reduce setup time and improve drilling accuracy.
The system is ideal for:
- Open-cut mining
- Blast hole drilling
- Quarry operations
- Civil infrastructure projects
- Exploration drilling
- Remote resource projects
Why Australian Mining Companies Are Choosing Digital Drill Guidance
Traditional drilling methods often rely on manual set-out and repeated survey checks. A drill guidance system allows operators to work directly from digital plans, reducing delays and increasing confidence in every hole drilled.
Key benefits include:
- Improved collar accuracy
- Faster drill positioning
- Reduced survey dependency
- Less rework and fewer drilling errors
- Increased productivity across the fleet
- Better compliance with mine plans
Built for Harsh Australian Conditions
Mining in Australia means working in demanding environments where equipment must withstand dust, vibration, heat and long operating hours.
The Stonex Drill Rig Guidance System is designed to support these conditions while delivering reliable positioning performance for daily production activities.
Whether you’re operating in the Pilbara, Bowen Basin, Kalgoorlie or regional quarry sites, dependable guidance technology helps reduce downtime and improve efficiency.
Improve Productivity and Reduce Costs
Even small positioning errors can have significant downstream impacts on blasting, excavation and project schedules.
By implementing drill guidance technology, businesses can:
- Reduce unnecessary survey visits
- Improve drilling consistency
- Minimise operator error
- Increase machine utilisation
- Complete projects more efficiently
Over time, these productivity gains can translate into substantial cost savings.
Integrated Digital Workflows
Modern mining increasingly relies on digital data from planning through to production.
The Stonex Drill Rig Guidance System supports this approach by enabling accurate positioning from digital designs, helping ensure drilling aligns with engineering intent while simplifying day-to-day operations.
