Automation and information management underground

Digitalization calls for a new way of working. Our customers need people, processes and technology to synchronize. We call it 6th Sense. 6th Sense is the Epiroc way to optimize our customers' value chain through automation, system integration and information management – enabling a smart, safe, seamless operation.

6th Sense Development unleashes the potential to optimize the drill and blast cycle in mine development and tunneling.

By knowing the status of machines and all active faces, supervisors can make better operational decisions to maximise equipment utilisation and minimise transition times.

With 6th Sense Development, mines and construction projects can realise measurable productivity gains by focusing on improving the process as a whole.

6th Sense Production empowers miners to make better production decisions and increase equipment utilization.

Rich, real-time production actuals track schedule compliance, enabling proactive supervisors to mitigate the effect of delays on activities.

With 6th Sense Production, high quality data can be leveraged for insights in operational excellence, including benchmarking to identify ways of working from global operations.

6th Sense Transport drives safety and productivity by increase how effectively a miner can manage its Load and Haul operations.

Visibility of relevant production facts requires the open information exchange between the equipment of different vendors, as well as the miner’s fleet management, scheduling and maintenance systems.

With 6th Sense Transport, operational efficiencies are further improved with the addition of machine automation and effective traffic management.
