Mining and quarrying need high precision. But why? Operations must be accurate to save time and reduce costs. Errors can lead to wasted materials and safety risks. Traditional surveying methods often cause problems. They take more time and may not give correct results. Workers face challenges when measuring land or tracking equipment. So, how can this problem be solved? Advanced GPS technology is changing the industry. It provides real-time data and better accuracy. With this, mining becomes more efficient. Companies can work faster and reduce mistakes. But how does this technology really help? Let's explore more.
Understanding RTK GPS: A Game-Changer for Accuracy
What is RTK (Real-Time Kinematic) GPS?
RTK GPS is an advanced positioning system. It improves accuracy by using correction data. It works with satellites and a base station. The base station sends real-time corrections to a GPS receiver. This process reduces errors. Standard GPS can have a few meters of error. RTK GPS reduces this error to a few centimeters. This makes it useful for mining and quarrying. Workers need precise location data to work efficiently. Without RTK GPS, errors can lead to material loss and unsafe conditions. So, how does it compare to standard GPS?
How It Improves Accuracy Compared to Standard GPS Systems
Standard GPS provides basic location data. However, it has a high margin of error. This is because satellite signals pass through the atmosphere. Different conditions cause signal delays. RTK GPS solves this problem. It uses a fixed base station and mobile receivers. The base station corrects errors in real time. This allows machines and workers to get precise locations. RTK GPS can achieve centimeter-level accuracy. This is much better than the meter-level accuracy of standard GPS. But how does this help mining operations?
The Role of RTK GPS in Modern Mining Operations
Mining requires careful planning. Mistakes can lead to wasted resources and high costs. RTK GPS helps in surveying and excavation. It provides accurate data for mapping. Workers can track machinery with real-time updates. This improves safety and efficiency. RTK GPS also helps in automation. Self-driving machines rely on accurate positioning. Without RTK GPS, they cannot work properly. Many mining companies now use RTK GPS to improve productivity. So, what makes SMAJAYU a leader in this technology?

Introducing the SMA20 RTK: Next-Generation Precision
What is the SMA20 RTK, and How Does It Stand Out?
The SMA20 RTK is a lightweight and powerful GNSS receiver. It works well in tough environments. It provides global signal coverage for accurate positioning. The device has an Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU). This allows measurements without leveling the bubble. The tilt survey function makes it easier to measure angles. Workers do not need to worry about holding the device perfectly straight. This makes work faster and more convenient. The SMA20 RTK helps mining teams work with less effort. But what are its key features?
Key Features of the SMA20 RTK
The SMA20 RTK GNSS receiver supports multiple satellite constellations, including GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou, and Galileo, ensuring reliable and precise positioning. It offers RTK, PPK, and PPP correction modes, making it suitable for different applications. The device features static and Rinex logging for accurate data collection. A built-in UHF internal radio (900MHz) enhances connectivity, while Network CORS station connection improves accuracy.
Its RTK accuracy provides ±10mm horizontal and ±18mm vertical precision, with a tilt accuracy of 2.5cm at 30° and a maximum tilt angle of 60°. The static accuracy is ±2.5mm horizontal and ±5mm vertical, while PPK accuracy reaches ±25mm horizontal.
The high-precision IMU includes a gyroscope and accelerometer, improving tilt measurements. With GNSS and IMU integration, surveying at any angle is possible. Even at a 60-degree tilt, accuracy stays within 3 cm, providing greater flexibility in mining and quarrying operations. This makes work more flexible. But how does this help in mining and quarrying?
How the SMA20 RTK Enhances Efficiency and Productivity in Mining and Quarrying
Mining and quarrying need accurate positioning. Errors can lead to wasted materials and delays. The SMA20 RTK helps by providing real-time corrections. Workers get precise measurements quickly. This reduces time spent on manual adjustments. The IMU tilt survey allows measurements in difficult areas. Workers do not need to level the device manually. This makes data collection faster. Machines can also use RTK GPS for automation. With accurate positioning, mining becomes safer and more efficient. The SMA20 RTK is designed for modern operations. It helps companies improve productivity while reducing costs.
Applications of SMA20 RTK in Mining and Quarrying
