Sandvik announced in late December it had inked a deal to take over Australian mine planning software maker Deswik, and that the newly acquired company would be a major component to the establishment of new division Sandvik Mining and Rock Solutions\u2019 Digital Mining Technologies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The OEM said Deswik fills a value chain gap in its offerings, giving it upstream coverage and allow for end-to-end optimization solution opportunities, including the incorporation of electrification at the mine planning stage. Deswik\u2019s core suite includes computer-aided 3D mine design, scheduling, operations planning, mining data management and geological mapping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Deswik, which had been a privately owned company, forms one of three cornerstones in Sandvik\u2019s newly created Digital Mining Technologies division, which has been established to accelerate execution of Sandvik Mining and Rock Solutions\u2019 strategic priority for underground sustainability and productivity solutions. The new division will also include Sandvik Mining and Rock Solutions\u2019 automation solutions and the Newtrax telemetry and collision avoidance solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMine planning and operations management is a key growth opportunity, and this complementary acquisition and our new Digital Mining Technologies division will strengthen our digital offering and enable us to provide customers a more comprehensive suite of technologies,\u201d said Stefan Widing, president and CEO of Sandvik.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDeswik\u2019s second to none software suite combined with Sandvik\u2019s digital and automation offering creates a clear world leader in digital solutions for the mining industry. Combining Deswik\u2019s skills in mine planning and scheduling with our equipment and automation expertise will open new opportunities for optimizing our customers\u2019 mining value chain\u201d says Henrik Ager, president of Sandvik Mining and Rock Solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
