Grupo México is also a long-time user of
Hexagon Mining’s MineSight Planning Suite.
Toquepala’s engineers use MineSight Economic
Planner to determine economic pit limits,
incremental pit shells, and plan preliminary
pushback creation
integrated mining solutions allow us to greatly
improve our efficiency by shortening the gap
between planning and execution.”
Sanchez said the company is now pursuing
Hexagon’s safety technologies for further
integration. “We are in a constant search for

optimisation and key technologies,” said
Sanchez. “Upon installation of the Jigsaw system
for our communications, we have also worked
with Hexagon to add mobility and to be able to
transmit HD-quality video with 100% guarantee.
We currently offer seven applications on the
same platform such as radar control, pump
systems, video systems, etc. All of this is
integrated in a single platform, thanks to modern
technology by Hexagon Mining. We are very
happy with these systems.”
Sanchez added that the company is also

impressed by the IDS Interferometric Mine Slope
Radar, a revolutionary remote sensing monitoring
system offered by Hexagon Mining. “With one
radar, we could achieve 360° coverage for
monitoring the profile of the mine within one
plan,” said Sanchez. “Aside from the 360° view,
the system is portable so we do not need to
install electricity or additional construction for
the equipment.”
Hexagon concludes: “Industry-wide,
operational staff and managers are increasingly
being overwhelmed with huge volumes of data
from multiple sources, much of it in real time. As
data is collected, and distributed to various
systems at the mine, it is replicated and
massaged before countless hours are then spent
reconciling and rationalising this information.
Hexagon Mining’s partnership with Grupo México
addresses this issue and embodies a smarter
way to mine. By integrating design, planning, and
operations technologies, Toquepala can connect
people and processes, make sense of big data,
and rely on one version of the truth.”

Managing Big Data with cloud-based

Recent strides in information technology have
resulted in increasingly complex hardware and
software for the mining industry. In addition, the
