XTRAN Telemetry Measurement System (XTMS)
XTRAN Telemetry Measurement System (XTMS) is a flexible, scalable and robust wireless measurement system that enables the connection of up to 100 sensors of any type to report back to a single tablet for viewing and logging. Based on a proprietary 2.4GHz wireless protocol and using optimised hardware, remote measurements can be transmitted point-to-point up to 800m line-of-sight (and further with a repeater), directly from the sensors to the basestation receiver, ensuring you can view sensor readings from a safe distance.
XTMS was designed to remove maintenance personnel from dangerous live work around mining vehicles and heavy equipment while facilitating accurate wireless measurement from a safe location and improving operational efficiency. The mining industry refers to this safety initiative as “Elimination of Live Work” (ELW). The XTMS ELW solution came about when Applied Measurement Australia (AMA) was approached by one of Australia’s largest mining companies to help them reduce the risk of incidents involving personnel taking measurements during maintenance. AMA’s sensor knowledge and systems integration expertise along with the experience of mining maintenance personnel resulted in a deep understanding of the application and requirements, and ultimately XTMS was developed. Customers have reported reducing their site risk by more than 40% with XTMS.
Designed for rugged environments, the XTMS wireless platform is well suited to extreme Australian conditions and is ideal for remote monitoring of equipment, heavy equipment maintenance, and inspection of dangerous and difficult-to-access locations.

2.4GHz Wireless
2.4GHz Wireless Communication
XTRAN Telemetry Measurement System (XTMS) utilises an advanced 2.4GHz wireless protocol to enable robust communications with a range of up to 800 meters line-of-site. XTMS also performs exceptionally well around metal objects such as heavy equipment in maintenance sheds or out in the field, and is proven to operate effectively in underground tunnels.
Sensors are integrated with a wireless transmitter. Sensor output signals are transmitted from each wireless transmitter to the wireless basestation receiver using a direct point-to-point wireless topology (i.e. there are no wifi routers or 3rd party hardware that may cause signal dropouts and critical data loss).
The flexible communications platform allows up to 100 sensors to be simultaneously connected on the same system, offering operational efficiency and productivity gains. Multiple different XTMS systems can be used in the same area without conflict.

Custom Sensors
Custom Sensor
The flexibility of XTMS allows us to easily and quickly integrate alternative sensors into the system. Whether you need improved accuracy, different size or shape, alternative connectors, or a different sensor for an entirely new application, even custom-designed sensors, we can develop a custom sensor solution for you.
Custom Visualisation
Custom Visualisation
- Can’t find a suitable visualisation, or have just taken delivery of a new type of heavy vehicle or asset?
- Want to view the measurement data as a graph rather than a number?
- Need to view a different set of measurement data or calculations, or generate a specific report?
We can quickly develop custom visualisations that show you the measurement information you need to see, laid out the way you want to view them.
Custom Reports
Custom Reports
Custom reports can be generated which enable measurement data and other collected information to be collated in a single view. Examples might include:
- Timestamp
- Vehicle ID
- Operator ID
- Sensor ID
- Measurement location
- Average / Mean / Medium / Max / Min
- Graph
Reports can be used to increase productivity, increase accuracy, reduce manual documentation, reduce the risk of human data entry errors, and track measurement trends across time of day, shift, operator, equipment, and mine site.
Custom Integration
Custom Integration
Sensor measurement data feeds can be integrated directly into operational management systems to provide real-time maintenance health status of equipment. Building up a history of measurement data for each wear component on each mining asset can give much more granular visibility of wear profiles over time, enabling better decision-making about when to perform overhauls and when the risk of failure is high.
Direct data feeds can be used to increase productivity, increase accuracy, reduce manual documentation, reduce the risk of human data entry errors, and track measurement trends across time of day, shift, operator, equipment, and mine site.

XTRAN Telemetry Measurement System (XTMS)
XTMS was designed to Remove Maintenance Personnel from dangerous live work while facilitating accurate Wireless Measurement from a safe location and improving operational efficiency when performing live work. The Industry refers to this as “Elimination of live Work” and has come about with a collaboration of AMA’s integration knowledge and personnel in the industry performing the live work. Our system is quickly becoming the industry standard. It's designed for various measurement locations and aims to reduce the need for personnel in potentially dangerous areas, especially during maintenance measurements on heavy machinery, vehicles, or any situation where the elimination of live work is needed. The system can be configured with various sensor solutions such as Pressure, Linear Position, RPM, Temperature, Tilt, Vibration, Force, and more. It involves the use of wireless sensors that send information via WiFi to an integrated or USB wireless base station, and custom reports can be generated for predictive machine maintenance.
