Underground Mining OEM Builds a Multi-Million EUR Digital Business

From connected machines to a scalable, recurring SaaS revenue stream

‍

The Challenge

Operating hundreds of meters underground, this OEM needed reliable, real-time visibility into machine health across maintenance, production, and safety. Existing solutions struggled with connectivity, hardware robustness, and fragmented data. Most importantly, the OEM lacked a commercially viable, end-to-end digital product they could bring to market.

The Solution

TALPA delivered a fully white-labeled, end-to-end digital platform — from ruggedized underground IoT hardware to secure cloud analytics. The solution unified machine data into actionable insights for maintenance, production, and safety, and was launched entirely under the OEM’s own brand as a new digital product line.
