Johannesburg, South Africa – June 23, 2025 – Dwyka Mining Services, a leader in advanced technology solutions for the mining and industrial sectors, is excited to announce a new partnership with Emlid, a European company specializing in high-precision Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) solutions. This collaboration marks a transformative shift in the African GNSS market, bringing customer-centric positioning and surveying technologies to industries across the continent.
As part of the agreement, Dwyka Mining Services will become an official distributor and reseller of Emlid’s suite of GNSS solutions, enabling African businesses to access world-class, affordable, and highly accurate positioning systems. This partnership is set to significantly enhance the capabilities of surveyors, engineers, and other professionals who rely on precise navigation and location-based data in remote and challenging environments.
Revolutionizing Positioning Solutions in Africa
Emlid’s Reach GNSS receivers offer advanced real-time kinematic (RTK) technology, delivering centimeter-level accuracy and exceptional reliability—even in areas with limited infrastructure. By integrating Emlid’s innovative solutions, Dwyka Mining Services is positioned to disrupt the African market, helping businesses in mining, construction, agriculture, and energy sectors achieve precise, efficient, and cost-effective data collection.
“We are excited to partner with Emlid to bring high-precision GNSS solutions to the African mining market,” said Jamie van Schoor, CEO of Dwyka Mining Services. “This collaboration will equip industry professionals with affordable, accurate, and reliable positioning systems—even in the most remote areas. With many of our technology partners like Emesent and Wingtra already integrating Emlid, we believe our facilitation will drive streamlined operational efficiency, reduce costs, and improve data accuracy for our clients—setting a new benchmark for the GNSS market in Africa.”
“The days of industry giants being disconnected from their end-users are over. It’s time for a shift,” added van Schoor. “Too often, large-scale companies operate in their comfort zones, far removed from the daily needs of their customers. This partnership with Emlid signals a move toward a customer-focused future. We’re putting precise, accessible, and affordable technology directly into the hands of the professionals who need it most.”
A Game-Changer for Mine Surveying and Mapping
Emlid GNSS technology provides a comprehensive suite of tools for surveying and mapping, helping professionals optimize workflows from construction planning to agricultural field mapping and beyond. Their offerings include Reach GNSS receivers that function as base and rover units, survey kits integrated with other industry products like Wingtra drones and Pix4D software, and Emlid’s proprietary field software for data collection, management, and post-processing.
“We’re thrilled to partner with Dwyka Mining Services to expand our innovative GNSS technology into the African market, with a particular focus on the resource sector,” said Andrew Yushkevich, Head of Sales at Emlid. “Our solutions are designed for industries operating in remote and infrastructure-limited areas. With Dwyka’s deep market insight, we’re confident this partnership will revolutionize how African mining businesses approach high-precision positioning.”
Empowering Industries with Accessible, Reliable GIS Technology
This partnership aims to provide a cost-effective alternative to traditional GNSS systems.
“The latest update of the Emlid Flow app will transform fieldwork across Africa with features like surface staking, advanced linework and polygon tools, auto-collection, and real-time calculations,” said Mateus Sione, Regional Manager at Emlid. “Seamless cloud sync with Emlid Flow 360 ensures surveyors and construction teams working in complex terrain benefit from a complete, efficient solution.”
By removing the barriers of high hardware costs and inaccessible software, the collaboration between Dwyka and Emlid is set to empower industries across the continent to adopt cutting-edge technology and significantly improve their operational workflows.
