TECHNOLOGY / PHYSICAL AI
AI that understands shovel operation.
MEASURE turns sensor data into an understanding of the shovel, the operator and their interaction with the material.
MEASURE / THE OPERATING FOUNDATION
Bucket motion. Digging effort. Operating context.
MEASURE provides the field-validated operating context behind DIAGNOSE and COACH.
01
Position & motion
Bucket position, trajectory and kinematics through digging, swing, loading and return.
02
Digging & conditions
Motion and vibration interpreted together to understand digging effort and material interaction.
03
Cycle & behaviour
Operating-state recognition and analysis of how the shovel and operator execute the cycle.
HARDWARE AND MEASURE EXPERIENCE
10+ shovels.
6+ years in the field.
Direct installations and hands-on experience on rope and hydraulic shovels.
Hardware and MEASURE deployments span sensing, bucket positioning, operating-state analysis and mine-network integration.
132
Onboard edge systems
Installed across North and South America. That field experience has shaped RIGID’s robust technology, technical support and documentation for long-term operation and maintenance.
