Renting an IVMS unit
We sometimes get asked by our IVMS customers if they can rent units from us. We understand the difference between capex and opex and believe that we should give our customers this choice. The most common enquiry is for portable IVMS from subcontractors that win short-term mining contracts, but we…
Personnel tracking
In today’s day and age, government legislation has caused companies to become highly vigilant towards their responsibilities regarding the safety and wellbeing of their staff. It’s little wonder that OH&S has become such a big focus in so many sectors. This responsibility is particularly evident within the mining and…
IVMS: which is best, the cheaper or more expensive option?
There are many very expensive and advanced IVMS systems and suppliers in the market today. A high-end mining IVMS unit with an Iridium radio could easily set an unsuspecting contractor back more than $2,000. These IVMS systems are great as they will tell their owners where vehicles are all the…
The challenges of IVMS in the Outback
Part of managing a dynamic IVMS implementation is the vendor’s ability to communicate with the IVMS device via 3G/4G. Setting can be changed “over the air” i.e. by communication directly with the device configuration via the SIM card. Top-end IVMS devices for instance run scripts that will enforce driving rules.…

GPS tracking can catch the thief

IVMS – time for an Australian standard
We are called almost on a daily basis with requests to supply IVMS/ GPS Tracking– some sub-contractor typically has won a contract with a mine and was instructed to get IVMS/ GPS Tracking. But what is IVMS? Often enough very little detail is given. Of all IVMS/ GPS Tracking aspects…

Digicore’s revolutionary “No subscription” asset tracking. We have over the years been contacted by our IVMS/ GPS Tracking and other customers for asset trackers: things get lost and stolen and GPS trackers will tell us where they are. Unlike other options, customers that receive an ongoing service, assets…
An orbituary to Cameron Holmes
It is with regret that Digicore advises that Cameron Holmes has passed away after a long illness. Cam had been an integral part of our business since 2011, starting off as an installer, then as operations manager and finally as general manager, until his illness mandated him to take a…
Why still use IVMS when GPS is so commonly available?
Over the past few years the availability of GPS has skyrocketed, surpassed only by the downward trend in pricing. The question arises: why is IVMS still required? The answer lies in the fact that GPS and IVMS is not the same thing. GPS provides a speed and a position reading,…

The product is excellent, pricing is very competitive but more importantly their product knowledge and support is second to none.”
