The launch marks a milestone in Epiroc’s strategy to consolidate its digital technology acquisitions into one connected offering, bringing together years of integration, development, and deep mining domain expertise.
A new chapter built on consolidation
Over the past years, Epiroc has pursued a deliberate strategy of acquiring and integrating specialist digital mining capabilities. The expertise and software heritage of MineRP – acquired in 2021 – is one of the foundations, contributing deep domain knowledge in integrated mine planning, execution, and optimisation. In addition, Epiroc has drawn on capabilities and expertise from across its broader portfolio of digital acquisitions to build a unified, scalable offering of planning solutions.
The integration work is now complete. The individual technologies have been consolidated, further developed, and brought together under Epiroc’s Groundbreaking Intelligence portfolio. The result is five purpose-built planning solutions – including one entirely new product, OreInventory – now available to mining customers worldwide, backed by Epiroc’s global presence and deployment expertise.
The five planning solutions are: Work Manager, SimulatOre, Drill Quality Manager, InterOp, and the new OreInventory.
“Looking ahead, we will continue to develop and strengthen planning solutions to bring mine planning and operational execution even closer together in one connected workflow. By strengthening interoperability through InterOp, we will help customers build a single, trusted source of information across planning, geology, survey, and operations – reducing manual handovers and enabling faster, better decisions shift by shift,” says André Steenkamp, General Manager Plan Product Line.
