Hexagon unveils life-of-mine smart platform for mining

Hexagon

Hexagon Mining division’s new Power of One platform is a holistic, life-of-mine smart solution connecting sensors, software, infield apps and cloudware.

Available and ready to implement, this technology connects the mine to the boardroom via a single onboard ecosystem comprising a smart computer, antenna, and display. It will empower customers’ digital transformation, connecting key mining workflows for a safer, more productive, and sustainable future. 

Hexagon unveiled the platform at HxGN LIVE Global, Hexagon’s digital reality solutions conference. Harnessing data from multiple sensors in a simple and consolidated software architecture, the platform helps mines to become situationally aware, self-learning and autonomously connected in the field and in the cloud. 

For the customer, the platform offers an effortless experience with a seamless UI/UX and consistent functionality. Reduced cost of ownership, reduced deployment and training time, reduced supply chain complexity and increased operator adoption are just some of the platform’s many benefits. 

“The Power of One platform is a landmark enabler for next-generation autonomy,” Nick Hare, Hexagon’s mining division president, said. “It offers mines a uniquely intelligent approach based on open architecture to autonomously connect key mining ecosystems, such as exploration, planning, drill and blast, material movement and mine monitoring. It’s the scalable, platform-agnostic answer to challenges previously addressed by point solutions and multiple vendors.

“For the first time, one technology partner connects the mine to the boardroom via a single onboard ecosystem comprising a smart computer, antenna, and display. This marks the fulfilment of a commitment to connect all parts of a mine and for the industry, it points the way to a safer, more productive, and sustainable future.”
