Mining operations generate vast amounts of information, yet many sites struggle to turn that data into clear, actionable decisions. Hexagon CAS Smart Centre is designed to bridge this gap, giving operators, supervisors, and decision-makers the insight needed to make consistent improvements in safety and productivity.
Smart Centre combines advanced analytics with deep mining expertise to interpret complex datasets and highlight where interventions can deliver the greatest impact. Supported by a team of specialists, mines can shift from reacting to issues to proactively preventing them.
Tier 1 mine sites in South America using Hexagon CAS Smart Centre have seen 70% fewer stop-sign infractions, 28% faster reaction time to alarms, and 84% less cabin noise.
Subscribers to Smart Centre and get a dedicated team that proactively identifies risks and suggests solutions before safety is compromised.
Turning operational data into real improvements
Digital investments across mine fleets, infrastructure, and safety systems have expanded rapidly, but interpreting the resulting data streams remains a challenge for many operations. Smart Centre simplifies this complexity.
Smart Centre offers consultative and intelligent support aimed at converting raw data into measurable outcomes. Data analysts and mining experts review trends, incidents, and operator behaviour to identify risk areas and performance opportunities.
This approach gives mining teams information and clarity, the ability to understand what needs attention and why.
Enhancing mining safety with data-driven clarity
Safety performance is shaped by daily decisions and behaviours. Smart Centre provides the visibility to detect patterns early and intervene proactively.
Key advantages include:
- Monitoring critical behaviours, such as following distance, speeding, and stop-sign compliance
- Identifying hazardous road conditions, including narrowing, poor visibility, and slope issues
- Reducing risky behaviours by using trend data to guide targeted training and communication
Establishing structured, data-based safety protocols that make risk mitigation consistent and transparent
Improving operational efficiency day to day
To gauge and assess the interconnected factors that influence a mine’s operational performance, Smart Centre analyses fleet behaviour, operator tendencies, road conditions, and system alerts to pinpoint improvement opportunities.
Subscribers benefit from:
- Daily, weekly, and monthly reports summarising key events and recommending actions
- Custom dashboards for advanced subscribers, offering filters, layouts, and charts tailored to operational roles
- Trend analysis that reveals bottlenecks and inconsistencies affecting cycle times and productivity
- Recommendations grounded in mining workflows, helping teams act confidently and prioritise effectively
- By supporting a continuous improvement rhythm, Smart Centre helps mines stay ahead of issues before they escalate
Maximising the value of Collision Avoidance System data
Smart Centre is especially powerful for mines using Hexagon Collision Avoidance System (CAS). The service interprets CAS alerts, interactions, and behavioural indicators to highlight underlying risks and improvement opportunities.
Advanced subscribers gain near real-time critical risk notifications, providing an additional layer of situational awareness. This ensures operations don’t just adopt safety technology, they make full, strategic use of it.

Mining support tailored to your operation
Every operation has different maturity levels, fleet compositions, and safety goals. Smart Centre offers two subscription tiers, providing flexibility for mines seeking standardised reporting or more intensive analysis, follow-up meetings, and on-site engagements.
This structured support ensures insights are followed by action, driving measurable improvements over time.
Hexagon Smart Centre helps mining companies turn complex datasets into clearer decisions, stronger safety performance, and more efficient operations. It blends technology, analysis, and mining experience to support continuous, data-driven improvement.
