Proven connectivity solutions for extraction, processing, and refining operations—from mine sites to metal production facilities.
The metals and mining industry faces unique connectivity challenges that can impact safety, productivity, and profitability.
Extreme temperatures, dust, moisture, and vibration in mining and processing facilities demand robust, reliable connectivity solutions.
Underground mines, remote open-pit operations, and distributed processing facilities require secure, long-distance data transmission.
Stringent mining safety regulations and environmental monitoring requirements demand continuous, reliable data collection and reporting.
Decades-old PLCs, DCS systems, and SCADA infrastructure must integrate with modern analytics, MES, and ERP platforms.
Continuous mining and metal production operations cannot tolerate connectivity failures—every minute of downtime costs revenue.
Mining operations use equipment from dozens of manufacturers, each with proprietary protocols requiring specialized connectivity solutions.
The industry relies on equipment from leading automation and control system manufacturers. Our solutions connect them all.
