In today’s fast-moving industrial, logistics, and supply chain environments, rugged Vehicle-Mounted Terminals (VMTs) do far more than display information—they are the digital bridge between operators and the systems that keep facilities running. As operations adopt more automation and data-driven workflows, the choice of VMT manufacturer must account for one critical factor: the wireless infrastructure that carries every instruction, scan, and data point.
Mining Computers for Rugged Mining Operations
Purpose-built mining computers for haul trucks, draglines, dozers, drilling rigs, and other heavy equipment. JLT rugged computers are engineered to withstand vibration, dust, and extreme conditions across the entire mine site.
Mining Computers for Heavy Mining Equipment
Mining operations depend on reliable technology to keep people, equipment, and data connected. Standard computing devices can struggle with the vibration, dust, moisture, shock, and temperature extremes found across mine sites.
JLT vehicle-mounted computers and rugged tablets are built for demanding mining environments, with IP65/IP66 protection and designs engineered to withstand harsh operating conditions. Installed on draglines, dozers, graders, haul trucks, loaders, and drilling equipment, JLT mining computers provide access to real-time operational data, helping teams monitor equipment performance, improve productivity, and make faster decisions in the field.
Construction & Mining Use Cases
Haul Truck Fleet Productivity Monitoring
Large haul trucks are essential to mining operations, and productivity depends on reliable access to real-time fleet data. JLT VERSO rugged vehicle-mounted computers installed in haul trucks provide operators and dispatch teams with continuous connectivity to fleet management systems, helping improve equipment utilization, monitor performance, and support efficient material movement.
Drill and Blast Planning & Field Data Collection
Drilling teams rely on accurate geological information and precise drill plans. JLT rugged fixed-mounted computers enable engineers and field technicians to access maps, drilling plans, geological models, and operational data directly from drilling equipment. Reliable connectivity helps teams improve planning accuracy and coordinate field activities more effectively.
Real-Time Equipment Monitoring and Predictive Maintenance
Mining operations depend on the continuous performance of loaders, dozers, draglines, excavators, and drilling equipment. JLT rugged computers installed on heavy equipment provide access to machine performance data, fuel usage, diagnostics, and maintenance information. This visibility helps teams identify potential issues earlier, reduce downtime, and support more effective maintenance planning.
Underground Connectivity for Field Operations
Connectivity can be challenging across large open-pit mines and underground operations. JLT rugged vehicle-mounted computers help provide reliable access to mine management systems and operational information in demanding environments. Workers can access work orders, safety procedures, inspection records, and other critical data where the job takes them.
Safety Inspections and Regulatory Compliance
Mining environments require thorough safety inspections and accurate regulatory documentation. JLT rugged vehicle-mounted computers and tablets enable supervisors and safety teams to complete digital inspections, record hazards, access procedures, and document compliance directly in the field. Digital workflows help improve data accuracy while reducing reliance on paper-based processes.
Ore Quality Tracking and Material Movement Visibility
Tracking ore quality and material movement is critical to efficient mining operations. JLT rugged vehicle-mounted computers installed on loaders, conveyors, and haul vehicles enable operators to record material type, grade, and destination in real time. This helps improve visibility across the mine site and supports more informed decisions about material handling and production.
