Sandvik has partnered with Newtrax, a provider of wireless IoT for the underground metal mining industry, to deliver mining safety, efficiency, and productivity to underground metal mines through digitalization.
Sandvik’s OEM-independent OptiMine digital platform will integrate with Newtrax’s system of wireless IoT to provide all relevant data in one source, delivering both real-time and predictive insights to improve operations.
“We are eager to see our partnership with Sandvik’s OptiMine help our customers more rapidly and effectively realize their crucial mine digitization objectives,” said Alexandre Cervinka, CEO of Newtrax.
The integrated system will be deployed at select mines and showcased in the Sandvik test mine in Tampere, Finland in early 2019. Hindustan Zinc’s Sindesar Khurd (SK) is the first mine to implement integrated Newtrax and OptiMine solutions to drive their digital transformation.
