Leica Geosystems Mining

Leica Geosystems Mining is a division of Leica Geosystems, and part of Hexagon. Leica Geosystems Mining opened a global technical center in 2004 located in Brisbane, Australia. The company's products provide positioning technology that measures, monitors and models every phase of the mine life cycle. Its customers span over 100 mines, in 20 countries around the world.

The company is best known as a provider of fleet management and high precision machine guidance; however, now they have created a reputation for being a one-point-of-call for all measurement technology, incorporating all the capabilities and offerings from Leica Geosystems and Hexagon's companies.

Leica Geosystems Mining and Locata Corporation Pty Ltd formed an exclusive partnership to provide the mining industry with the world’s only high-precision radio positioning system that is not reliant on GPS.

Leica Geosystems Mining and Autonomous Solutions Inc. started a partnership to provide human assist and autonomous technologies, i.e. vehicle automation, for the mining industry.
