Mining
  • Mine & Extraction
  • Mineral Processing & Metal Refining
  • Material Handling
  • Utilities & Supporting Areas
  • Mine-to-Market Integration

Market pressures drive mining operators to use existing and emerging technologies. These technologies improve operational efficiencies, maximize yield recoveries, meet regulatory requirements, and maintain safe or zero-harm environments. They harness the power of connectivity to leverage the vast amount of data that exists in mining automation systems. We can help you accomplish full digitization of your mine.


Introducing the Connected Mine

Integrated systems and scalable analytics enable mine-to-market visibility and allow for better decision-making

Even with projections of higher demand, the mining industry is still facing many challenges. Market volatility and uncertainties directly impact business - which adds complexity to long-term planning for new projects or upgrades to existing sites.

Ever-evolving legal and governance regulations are keeping mining companies on their toes. Not to mention the constant need to satisfy shareholders while working in partnership with stakeholders to earn their social license to operate.

Optimizing operations and assets is critical and bridging the skills gaps and addressing the changing workforce demographics is key for companies to stay afloat.
