Mining and Natural Resources Solutions that Work for You
We work alongside you to deliver results. Drawing on our engineering heritage, hands-on experience with mining technology, accelerator programs, a global network of innovation labs and a deep understanding of industry challenges and opportunities, we empower you to:
Enhance safety and productivity with intelligent automation
HCLTech’s IoT WoRKS™ Worker Safety solution combines AI-enabled environmental monitoring with edge IoT and cloud analytics to detect, predict and mitigate risks before they become issues.
To strengthen on-ground vigilance, capabilities such as VisionX AI Edge provide real-time video intelligence for PPE compliance, unsafe zone alerts, fall detection and equipment tampering, helping teams react quickly and consistently. Agentic AI adds further value by autonomously coordinating workflows, equipment behavior and hazard notifications to support safer and more efficient operations.
Unlock continuous optimization through AI and analytics
With solutions like DRYiCE iControl, you gain real-time visualization, predictive insights and automated process controls across your mining operations. GenAI enhances this by simulating production scenarios and forecasting disruptions, while Agentic AI translates insights into automated, site-aware actions.
Advance to net zero with intelligent operations
Decarbonization remains a strategic imperative as mining companies target a 30%–80% reduction in onsite emissions through electrification and AI-enabled energy management. HCLTech's Net Zero Intelligent Operations (NIO) solution helps you meet these ESG targets using GenAI for real-time sustainability modeling, while Agentic AI orchestrates energy-intensive processes to minimize waste.
Evolve your technology ecosystem and operating model
We help mining enterprises replace fragmented legacy systems with unified, adaptive architectures that integrate securely across business and plant operations. Agentic AI acts as a self-learning governance layer, monitoring system health and recommending interventions.
To further support operational modernization, Smart Twin frameworks can simulate asset behavior and operating scenarios, improving planning and helping teams prepare for more autonomous and digitally resilient mining environments.
Build smarter, sustainable supply chains for critical minerals
Critical mineral supply chains are increasingly concentrated and vulnerable (65% of the world’s cobalt, for instance, comes from a single geography). HCLTech’s intelligent asset tracking solutions leverage IoT, AI and blockchain to enhance traceability and bolster ethical sourcing. AI-powered orchestration enables more transparent, adaptive mineral value chains. Solutions like SC Insight AI provide additional visibility through real-time track-and-trace and predictive supply-chain intelligence.
Optimize costs and cloud performance with CloudSMART and AI
HCLTech’s CloudSMART solutions deliver adaptive modernization for mining and metals enterprises striving to stay cost-efficient and agile. With AI and GenAI driving predictive cost modeling, and Agentic AI automating workload management, you achieve cloud-driven efficiency gains and a natural competitive advantage through innovation and data.
