Why Choose Align Engineering

Innovative MEMS Technology

Our gyrocompassing platform utilizes MEMS components for superior sensor performance, designed specifically for challenging mining and drilling environments.

Enhanced Accuracy

Our proprietary technology operates independent of GPS and magnetometers to work in all domains, delivering precision that exceeds industry standards.

Cost-Effective

Achieve superior results at a fraction of the cost of traditional gyrocompassing systems.

Why Gyrocompassing?

When GPS signals are blocked and magnetic compasses fail, gyrocompassing technology continues to provide reliable navigation.

Gyrocompassing works by detecting Earth's rotation, providing accurate heading information in challenging environments such as underground mines, tunnels, and deep caves where traditional navigation methods are unreliable.

At Align Engineering, our gyrocompassing solutions deliver precision navigation in the most demanding conditions, ensuring your operations continue uninterrupted even where other technologies fail.
