Hexagon AB is a global technology group that is focused on precision measuring technologies and is divided into three business areas: geospatial measuring, industrial metrology, and technologies. As a global leader in sensor, software, and autonomous solutions, the company’s mining division helps its customers take a holistic and data-driven approach to integrating, automating, and optimizing workflows in the mining industry.
Through the use of cutting-edge technologies and products, the division enables customers to use data to “its greatest potential” in order to foster innovation and to ensure a sustainable planet for the next generation.
The company’s autonomous mining solutions—which create an ecosystem addressing people and vehicular safety, productivity, and decarbonization challenges in mining—have been a standout example.
World Perception
Hexagon’s World Perception solution is a situational awareness technology that enables object detection, operator vehicle-to-vehicle, and vehicle-to-person awareness. The solution leverages the latest 4D radar technology, smart antenna, and personal devices to provide a robust, accurate, and detailed detection and avoidance of objects, voids, and other obstacles.
Autonomous Mining Vehicle Intervention System
This lifesaving system detects and prevents collisions by automatically slowing down or stopping a haul truck if an imminent collision is detected.
Autonomous Mining Mission Manager
This solution empowers pit controllers and dispatchers to optimize the movement of autonomous and nonautonomous vehicles and mine production activities in one interface. In addition to driving cost savings in fleet maintenance and reducing equipment downtime, the mission manager can be seamlessly integrated with collision avoidance and reverse assistance technologies.
Autonomous Mining Platooning Solutions
Hexagon believes more vehicle autonomy can lead to greater sustainability and fuel efficiency, which can be advantageous for both the planet and the bottom line. Its Autonomous Mining Platooning gives customers a chance to inch closer to those goals. The semiautonomous long-distance fleets leverage an advanced perception and drive-by-wire system.
A Commitment to People
Just as Hexagon has demonstrated a commitment to its customers and their goals, the company has shown a dedication to its employees. Its retention efforts have resulted in an impressively low turnover rate and its culture has drawn in decorated leaders like Humberto Astorga, chief controlling officer and head of manufacturing and supply chain.
