Dwyka Mining Services is launching GeoMoby to South African mining clients at the Mine Ventilation Society of South Africa Expo 2026, with the required regulatory processes already underway. This is the piece of the VOD puzzle the industry has been missing: personnel and machine tracking that is fast to deploy and built for underground reality.
The problem we are solving
Personnel and machine tracking has a deployment problem. The systems on the market come with steep learning curves, long lead times, complex copper extensions and installation timelines that put operations off the idea before they have even seen the value. Mines need traceability underground and instead what they have been offered is a multi-year infrastructure project.
GeoMoby is different – it is deployable, flexible and built to be live on a level in days, not years.
Closing the loop on VOD
Ventilation on demand only works if you know where people and machines are on the level. Without that, automated and remote ventilation control is guessing. Human and machine tracking has been the missing piece of the VOD puzzle, the part that turns a control system into a genuinely automated, safe and remote operation.
With Dwyka Mining Services solving for underground connectivity and now integrating GeoMoby’s tracking and traceability, the final pieces of the VOD puzzle are here. They are ready to be put to work on your operation, today, to action real savings.
We have spent years hearing that VOD is a control problem. It was never just a control problem. You cannot automate ventilation safely if you do not know where your people and your machines are on the level. GeoMoby closes that gap effortlessly and more important quickly! Underground connectivity plus tracking plus control is the full picture and we now have all three critical inputs to action this next tier of VOD.

Mining operations have wanted fast, flexible tracking for a long time without the deployment burden that usually comes with it. Launching with Dwyka in South Africa puts GeoMoby directly in front of operations that are ready to move, with a deployment model that matches the pace they need.
