Mining Operations

Workplace Safety 4.0 for Mining

From open-pit to underground, SmartX HUB protects people around heavy equipment, keeps critical machines running, and brings real-time visibility to yards and workshops — all on one connected platform.

The Challenge

Where People and Massive Machines Share Ground

Mining runs in some of the harshest environments on earth — limited visibility, constrained escape routes, and haul trucks and loaders sharing space with people around the clock. A single missed proximity event, an unplanned equipment failure, or a lost tool in a remote workshop can stop production or put lives at risk.

SmartX HUB focuses on what matters most in a mine: protecting people, keeping equipment available, streamlining maintenance, and bringing order to yards and workshops — all sharing one operational record, so nothing falls through the cracks.

People
Connected-worker safety, proximity detection, mustering and hazardous-zone control.
Equipment
Mobile fleet, fixed plant, and serial-level tire tracking with full asset lifecycle.
Maintenance
Corrective, preventive and predictive maintenance with workshop and calibration control.
Yards
Fleet dispatch, gates, queues, dwell time and stockpile visibility across the site.
Four Focus Areas

Built Around What Keeps a Mine Running

Every mine is different, but the priorities are the same: protect people, keep equipment available, run maintenance tight, and control the yard. SmartX HUB does all four on one platform.

People & Safety
  • Connected-worker location, SOS, man-down and lone-worker protection
  • Person-to-vehicle proximity detection around haul trucks and loaders
  • Geofences around blasting zones, highwalls, crushers and tailings areas
  • Emergency mustering with automatic headcount and missing-person lists
Equipment & Assets
  • Mobile equipment lifecycle — haul trucks, excavators, drills, loaders
  • Fixed plant asset registry — crushers, conveyors, mills, pumps, motors
  • Serial-level tire management — position, mileage, pressure and failures
  • Location, criticality, documents and cost history in one asset record
Maintenance & Reliability
  • Corrective maintenance from operators, inspections or sensor triggers
  • Preventive plans by calendar, engine hours, mileage or production
  • Predictive monitoring — vibration, temperature, current, oil condition
  • Workshop, tools, smart cabinets and calibration validity control
Yards & Fleet
  • Live fleet location, route history, geofences and cycle tracking
  • Gate-in/out, truck queues, dwell time and dispatch sequencing
  • Stockpile zones, weighbridge linkage and parking management
  • MRO warehouse, critical spares and returnable-asset control
Where to Start

High-Impact Starter Bundles

Proven entry points that deliver fast, measurable results — then expand across the operation.

Bundle 01
Person-to-Vehicle Proximity
Wearables, vehicle tags, alerts and heatmaps to prevent the most dangerous interactions between people and haul trucks.
Measure: near misses and hotspots
Bundle 02
Critical Equipment
Asset 360, condition sensors, CMMS and vibration monitoring to keep the machines that drive production available.
Measure: downtime, MTTR and availability
Bundle 03
Fleet, Yard & Dispatch
GPS, gates, queues, dwell and integration to bring cycle-time and dispatch visibility to the whole yard.
Measure: cycle, detention and productivity

Measurable Value

The Levers That Move the Numbers

SmartX HUB deployments are built around your KPIs — value is measured against your baseline, not generic promises.

Faster Safety Response
Cut alarm-to-acknowledgement and assistance time — measured across event frequency and risk exposure.
Higher Equipment Availability
Reduce unplanned downtime through predictive and preventive maintenance — hours avoided × cost per hour.
Labor Efficiency
Save hours on search, audit, inspection and reconciliation — hours saved × labor cost × frequency.
Loss Prevention
Reduce lost tools, assets, tires, fuel and materials — avoided losses × replacement cost.
Better Fleet Cycles
Cut idle, queue and dwell time with fleet and dispatch visibility — cycle time × production value.
Compliance & Evidence
Reduce audit prep, expired permits/PPE and open actions — with immutable, retrievable evidence.
Built for high-hazard, regulated mining
Permit-to-Work & LOTO Proximity Detection ISO 55001 NR-22 / NR-36 Controlled-Materials Custody Calibration & Certification

Protect your people. Keep production moving.
