History

Nerospec SK originates from the underground mining sector, where the team developed deep expertise in creating technologies that perform reliably in some of the most demanding and hazardous environments. This foundation has shaped a strong focus on safety, operational efficiency, and ruggedness—qualities embedded in every solution they offer.

Founded in South Africa, Nerospec SK operates its manufacturing and supply chain locally, enabling cost-efficient scalability while maintaining world-class engineering standards. The company has now achieved more than 7,000 installations of Vehicle Intervention Control and Monitoring Systems globally.

The Connected Mine: Nerospec SK Making Mining Easier

 


Why Nerospec?

Nerospec SK’s standout differentiator is its unique approach to control, termed responsible intervention. It was the first company to go beyond passive alerts and actively take command of machines to bring them to a safe stop—a capability refined over years of development. This approach now works even on the largest surface machines in operation.

True dual agnosticism further sets Nerospec apart: its vehicle intervention hardware has been installed on more than 550 different machine types and is compatible with any make, model, or age of machine. It also integrates seamlessly with any third-party Proximity Detection System (PDS) or Collision Avoidance System (CAS), enabling mines to roll out fleetwide, standardized safety without needing to replace or overhaul existing systems.

Another key advantage is end-to-end ownership of the solution. Unlike many providers who rely on third-party components, Nerospec designs and manufactures both the hardware and software entirely in-house, ensuring a seamless, deeply integrated system with faster support, shorter development cycles, and full accountability.

Nerospec SK also leads in innovation, with solutions continuously updated to incorporate the latest sensing, automation, and data analytics.

Recent innovations include Nerospec’s breakthrough in fully autonomous underground mucking. The world’s first fully autonomous LHD solution, capable of executing the entire mucking cycle without human supervision, was developed in collaboration with Komatsu (GHH) and remains OEM-agnostic.

This LHD system uses Nerospec’s ruggedized ultrawideband underground positioning system (UPS2.0), combined with LiDAR-based perception and advanced muckpile analysis algorithms. The Autonomous Operator System (AOS) is a modular, retrofittable automation package that brings robotic-level intelligence to existing fleets and is designed to perform in real-world underground and surface mining conditions.


Certifications

Nerospec SK’s vehicle intervention systems meet EMESRT Level 9 safety standards, ensuring advanced collision prevention capabilities. The company is ISO 9001:2015 certified for its quality management systems and operates under stringent engineering and manufacturing standards to support the high-stakes requirements of mining environments.
