Sandvik’s Centrevo™ unifies enhanced rock tools digital solutions suite

Sandvik is introducing an umbrella concept for its comprehensive suite of digital rock tools solutions at MINExpo INTERNATIONAL® 2024. Centrevo™ combines Sandvik’s Track, Report, Drill and Analyze solutions to empower customers.

Sandvik is committed to transforming the industry through safer, more productive and more sustainable drilling solutions. Its Centrevo™ digital suite empowers customers through a vast array of rock tools performance data, business insights and expert support. By enabling connected collaborations, with easy-access data and less time-consuming paperwork, customers can make fact-based and optimized decisions.

A core component of Centrevo™ is Track, a digital application for capturing real-time tool performance data in a user-friendly and flexible way. Benefits include more accurate decision-making, gathered insights and analytics and both on-site and remote problem solving.

Historically, key customer data such as cost per meter, number of tools used and tool performance has been collected manually. Track supports the digital transformation by capturing important rock tools parameters and creating full visibility across drilling operations. Track also enables Sandvik customer representatives to spend more time on business support such as continuous improvements, benchmarking and training, helping customers increase productivity and efficiency.

"We are proud to offer our customers such a powerful digital solution,” said Rickard Andreasson, Acting Vice President Rock Tools Services at Sandvik Mining and Rock Solutions. “Track enhances our global service offering, improving productivity, logistics and contract support. Track optimizes the number of data-collecting visits to a site, which leads to improvements in terms of both safety and our environmental impact.”

Drill is another key component of the Centrevo™ digital suite. Using a mobile interface, this interactive simulator supports a deeper understanding of how correct drilling parameters impact both rock tool life and performance. It is available for top hammer, down-the-hole and rotary applications and educationally demonstrates how to maximize productivity in different ground conditions.

"Drill effectively showcases how rock tool performance can be enhanced through classroom or remote training,” said Andreas Rahm Yhr, Transformation and Contract Manager Rock Tools Services at Sandvik Mining and Rock Solutions. “Customers coached with this solution gain a deeper understanding of how different practices and drilling conditions impact productivity and drilling costs."
