AUTOMATED TOTAL

STATION SYSTEMS

Our automated total station systems deliver continuous, unsupervised 24/7/365 slope monitoring using the Trimble S9 instrument — one of the most accurate and reliable monitoring total stations available. Purpose-built for Australian mine environments including cyclone-affected regions.

The Settop M1 Monitoring Controller simplifies deployment with fewer hardware components than traditional systems. It measures, stores, and transmits data automatically — so you never lose a round measurement even during communications outages.

  • Settop M1 Controller — fewer components, local storage, automatic data backfill after comms dropout.
  • Automated workflows — measures prisms, processes data, executes analysis and raises alarms within seconds.
  • Cyclone-proof shelters — fully engineered, Region D certified instrument shelters for WA cyclone zones.
  • Bespoke solar power — custom-designed solar systems for remote sites; no grid power required.
  • Manual option also available — Trimble Access Monitoring for semi-automated field workflows, same downstream analysis.

— GNSS MONITORING – WORLDSENSING GNSS METER

LOW-COST GNSS

SURFACE MONITORING

The GNSS Meter by Worldsensing is a wireless, survey-grade 3D monitoring solution designed for large-scale remote deployment. No external power. No comms infrastructure. Just rapid deployment and precise RTK positioning — ideal for TSF walls, ramps, crushers, and open cut slopes.

With an integrated tiltmeter, temperature sensor, and seamless integration into Trimble 4D Control, it delivers a multi-disciplinary data picture from a single compact device.

  • Survey-grade RTK precision — edge processing delivers precise automated 3D surface monitoring.
  • Wireless & battery-powered — no external power or communications infrastructure needed.
  • Rapid deployment — minimal training required; install and be monitoring in hours, not days.
  • Integrated tiltmeter + temperature — complementary data from a single device.
  • Trimble 4D Control integration — full analysis, reporting and alarming in a unified ecosystem.
  • Scalable IoT network — shares hardware with our geotechnical sensor range for multi-disciplinary projects.

— TRIMBLE 4D CONTROL SOFTWARE

ONE SOFTWARE

EVERY SENSOR

Trimble 4D Control is the monitoring software platform that brings all your field data — total station measurements, GNSS, geotechnical sensors, weather stations — into a single, unified workspace. Used by the world’s biggest mining companies.

Automated Total Stations GNSS Monitoring Geotechnical Sensors Manual TS Projects Weather Stations Automated Alarming Engineering Sensors.

On concerns about Trimble 4D Control: Our team hears this occasionally. In most cases, issues stem from configuration or integration challenges — not the software itself. UPG’s deep implementation expertise and lifetime support means any issues get resolved fast. We’ve deployed it across dozens of Australian mine sites successfully.

Automated Processing

— QUESTIONS WE HEAR EVERY DAY

YOUR QUESTIONS

ANSWERED

Straight answers to what our customers actually ask — no marketing fluff.

The Trimble S9 total station delivers sub-millimetre angular precision and is regarded as one of the most accurate monitoring instruments on the market. For GNSS monitoring, the GNSS Meter uses RTK technology with edge processing for survey-grade 3D positioning. We’re happy to walk you through accuracy specifications for your specific application.

Reliability is a core design principle. The Settop M1 controller stores all round measurements locally — so even during a complete communications outage, no data is lost. When comms restore, all stored data is automatically backfilled and processed by the software. Your measurement cycle never stops.

This comes up occasionally and almost always relates to implementation or configuration issues rather than the software itself. Trimble 4D Control is used by some of the world’s largest mining companies and is widely considered one of the most complete monitoring software platforms available. UPG’s experience deploying it across dozens of Australian sites, combined with our lifetime support commitment, means problems get resolved fast.

Yes — this is one of our most common requests. UPG can integrate modern automation technology into almost any existing manual workflow. This ranges from simply automating data transfer and reading, through to fully aggregating multiple sensor types into Trimble 4D Control. We’ll assess your existing setup and recommend the most cost-effective path to automation.

Yes. While our mining monitoring work is predominantly in WA, we actively service construction, tunnelling and rail projects on the East Coast, with customers across Queensland, NSW and Victoria. Contact us to discuss your project location.

It means exactly what it says. There are no expensive support contracts. When you invest in a UPG monitoring system, you get ongoing free technical support for the life of that system — from our in-house team, plus access to Trimble’s global network of product specialists. We don’t leave you stranded after the sale.
