What Mintec does

Hexagon AB's Mining division delivers integrated, data-driven technology solutions for large-scale mining enterprises across the full mine lifecycle, spanning evaluation and planning, drill and blast, load and haul, mine surveying and monitoring, processing, reclamation, operational safety, and autonomous operations. The portfolio centers on the MinePlan software family (including MinePlan OP Engineering Short Term for tactical scheduling), the OP Collision Avoidance System providing 360-degree awareness, the AI-driven Operator Alertness System for fatigue management, and AI high-precision blasthole drilling technology. The division operates as a platform-plus-modules architecture drawing on the broader Hexagon ecosystem, including Leica-branded surveying hardware, anti-jam positioning and GNSS/INS systems, centimetre-level correction services, the Hexagon Connected Worker digital portfolio, and the Nexus digital industrial platform. AI and computer-vision capabilities are embedded across safety, drilling automation, and predictive analytics.

The division sells exclusively to enterprise mining customers via direct field sales, with personalized demos, expert consultations, and a global presence at major industry events including Exposibram (Brazil), Expomina (Peru), Mining Indonesia, Mines Metals Central Asia (Kazakhstan), and IMARC (Australia). Named enterprise customers include Rio Tinto (Oyu Tolgoi), Alcoa (Juruti), MMG (Rosebery), Gold Fields Ghana (Tarkwa), and Capstone (Pinto Valley), indicating operations spanning copper, gold, bauxite, and polymetallic mining across the Americas, Africa, Asia-Pacific, and Central Asia. Revenue mechanics are described as subscription/recurring on integrated technology solutions, with pricing not publicly disclosed. Hexagon AB is publicly listed on Nasdaq Stockholm (HEXA B) and domiciled in Sweden; in May 2026 it completed the separation of its Asset Lifecycle Intelligence, Safety, Geospatial and Infrastructure, ETQ, and Bricsys businesses as the independent public company Octave, refocusing the parent portfolio.
