Theme 2: SMARTER MINE SITES

Challenge

How can Hitachi Construction Machinery use data and automation to make mine sites safer, more productive and predictable — and connect operations all the way through the “pit-to-port” value chain?

Introduction

Modern mine sites are becoming intelligent, connected ecosystems where machines, data, and services interact in real time. As mining becomes more complex and distributed, we are focused on transforming operations through real-time data, automation, and service-based models. By integrating equipment, platforms, and workflows across the entire value chain, we aim to enable smarter, safer, and more responsive mining operations.

Goals

· Predictive maintenance and equipment health monitoring
· Fleet-as-a-service using smart equipment
· Data integration across pit-to-port
· Digital twins for planning and optimization
· Smarter logistics and ore sorting

Context

Mining operations often suffer from fragmented systems and reactive processes. We aim to break down these silos by connecting data, machines, and services. Through digital twins, predictive analytics, and integrated platforms, we support the shift from machine ownership to outcome-based services — enabling more efficient and sustainable mine site management.
