Trend: Digitalization

Digitalization is transforming our industry, enabling operations that are safer, more efficient, and more sustainable. By connecting equipment, people, and data, we help customers unlock new levels of performance. Our approach is OEM-agnostic, meaning our solutions work seamlessly across all types of machines, regardless of manufacturer. This flexibility gives customers the freedom to optimize their entire fleet without limitations. 

Support customers throughout their production

Mining and construction sites are becoming more complex. They become deeper, wider, and smaller, and involving countless machines and people. To manage this complexity, customers need real-time information to make smarter decisions and optimize processes. Epiroc’s broad portfolio of digital tools and offering spans the entire value chain: from digital infrastructure and data integration platforms to design and planning systems, process optimization, and full fleet automation - including mixed fleets. It also includes advanced digital safety solutions.

Our goal is to support customers throughout their whole production flow. In mining, that means: Fully automated from pit to port. Demand for digital solutions is accelerating as safety, sustainability and productivity remain top priorities. 

Connect: the digital backbone

High-quality connectivity is the foundation for automation, digitalization, and electrification in mining and infrastructure. With our OEM-agnostic approach, Epiroc delivers mission-critical network and infrastructure solutions such as private LTE/4G/5G, digital two-way radio, Wi-Fi, and hybrid power systems for use both on surface and in underground operations.

In 2025, we strengthened our capabilities by acquiring the remaining shares of Radlink, Australia’s leading mine connectivity provider. This milestone expands our capacity to design, deliver, and support large-scale connectivity projects, ensuring our customers have the robust “data highway” needed for autonomous fleets, real-time safety systems, and battery-electric operations, even in the most remote environments.

Connectivity revenues are primarily project-based and can be lumpy, but good connectivity should be seen as a critical enabler. By standardizing solutions, partnering regionally, and bundling with our automation and safety offerings, we are improving profitability and scalability, helping our customers accelerate their digital transformation.

Protect: the highest safety standards in the industry

Epiroc remains committed to transforming safety standards in mining and construction environments worldwide. These sites are complex, making it challenging to track people and assets, yet doing so is critical for both safety and productivity. Through advanced digitalization, customers can achieve safer operations while improving efficiency.

Mining involves thousands of sites and millions of workers globally. According to the European Commission, an estimated 40 million people are engaged in large-scale mining, representing about 1% of the world’s workforce. Most mines still lack systems to indicate where people or machines are located. Epiroc addresses this gap with solutions that provide real-time situational awareness of all mobile machines and personnel. In emergencies, our systems can guide workers to the nearest exit or rescue chamber, reducing evacuation time by up to 50%.

Epiroc’s Titan Collision Avoidance System (CAS) meets the highest standards of collision avoidance system, meeting EMESRT Level 9 standards. When paired with our smart Onboard system, customers gain comprehensive protection across all machines and mining environments. These innovations are already being deployed globally, including a major partnership with Hindustan Zinc, which in 2025 decided to implement CAS across all their underground mines in India, demonstrating Epiroc’s role in driving digital safety transformation worldwide.

Plan, Operate and Sustain: driving efficiency and sustainability through digital intelligence

Effective planning is essential for productivity, yet difficult without accurate real-time data. Epiroc’s Plan, Operate and Sustain solutions integrate data across systems, helping customers optimize operations and track performance with high precision. Digital mine plans and schedules enable dynamic production adjustments, supported by real-time planning, tunneling intelligence, situational awareness, ventilation-on-demand, drill tracking, and shift support. Customers have achieved up to 8% higher productivity, demonstrating the clear value of digitalization.

In 2025, we advanced our digital offering further. Mobilaris Tunneling Intelligence evolved into a powerful decision-support platform combining planning data, progress tracking, and personnel and asset location. With real-time positioning, CO₂e logging, and ventilation-on-demand, we helped customers cut environmental impact while improving safety. The solution supported major projects such as Rogfast in Norway, providing real-time 3D visualization and reporting for complex underground operations.

We also launched Total Tunneling at Bauma 2025 – a comprehensive concept uniting automation, electrification, digital solutions, and optimized ventilation. Strong market uptake followed, including major orders in Chile and Ghana for Fleet+ ShiftGoals and Asset Health Information Service. Overall, the results show that digitalization, with relatively small investments, can unlock significant customer value.
