Hexagon Mining | February 9, 2015 | 10:45 pm

Hexagon Mining officially launches its bold vision of smart change today at the world’s largest mining investment conference, Mining Indaba.  The conference, being held Feb. 9-13 in Cape Town, South Africa, offers the perfect platform for Hexagon Mining to unveil an unprecedented portfolio of innovative technologies.

Hexagon Mining is the only company to solve critical surface and underground challenges by integrating design, planning, and operations technologies for safer, more productive mines.

Combining the innovative technologies of industry leaders MineSight, Devex Mining, Leica Geosystems Mining, and SAFEmine, Hexagon Mining seamlessly links mine planning, design, fleet and production management, optimization, fatigue monitoring, and collision avoidance systems for a comprehensive flow of data across all operations. These brands represent more than 100 years of innovation, experience, and results.

As high-grade ores become scarcer and profit margins tighten, the consolidated experience and expertise offered by Hexagon Mining could not be more timely, said Hexagon President and CEO Ola Rollén.

“Hexagon Mining offers a smarter way to mine,” said Rollén. “Productive mines recognize that technology is essential to their success. Companies will need to be smarter, safer, and quicker to respond to change. Their future depends on it.”

Hexagon Mining recognizes that a competitive edge depends on integrating, automating, and optimizing critical workflows in the life of a mine. Efficiency, precision, accuracy, and safety are pivotal to those needs and paramount to improving any mine’s costs, productivity, and safety.

Headquartered in Tucson, Arizona, USA, with more than 30 offices across five continents, the company is a dynamic network of talented mining professionals delivering world class technology, service, and support.
