EMBRACING PROXIMITY DETECTION

HEXAGON HAS EXPANDED ITS AUTONOMOUS MINING DIVISION THROUGH A KEY ACQUISITION.

- 

Companies like Hexagon are continually challenged to not just innovate, but to also ensure systems work together in harmony.

The company has embraced that challenge since launching its mining business 10 years ago.

Hexagon’s recent acquisition of indurad and its autonomous haulage subsidiary, xtonomy, marked a significant step towards realising the company’s vision of fully connected and integrated mine workflows.

indurad’s unique offering of 1D, 2D, and 3D radars and RTLS (real-time locating systems) solutions expands Hexagon’s solutions in collision avoidance, positioning, digitalisation, process optimisation and automation.

The ability to understand unique problems from pit to port, complemented by its radar expertise, enables indurad to deliver digital twins that are otherwise next to impossible to achieve with other sensors.

Hexagon plans to release the fifth version of indurad’s collision avoidance and proximity detection system, iProximity, in 2025.
