The mining industry is entering a new era as 4Sight Holdings and Armada join forces to deliver AI-powered edge computing solutions. By combining Armada’s modular data centers with 4Sight’s AI-driven analytics, mining operators can now process data on-site in real time, improving efficiency, safety, and sustainability.
Bringing AI to the Edge
Mining operations often struggle with slow data processing and unreliable connectivity in remote locations. Armada’s Galleon modular data centers, powered by Starlink satellite internet, deploy Microsoft Azure directly at mine sites, eliminating the need for costly and time-consuming data transfers to central servers.
“We are transforming mining by delivering real-time AI insights at the source,” said Tertius Zitzke, CEO of 4Sight Holdings. “This allows operators to make faster, smarter decisions that enhance productivity and safety.”
Efficiency, Cost Savings, and Real-Time Insights
By shifting data processing to the edge, mining companies benefit from:
- Faster decision-making with AI-powered automation optimizing mine operations in real time
- Reduced costs by eliminating reliance on fixed-line connectivity and cloud transfers
- Increased safety and sustainability through advanced AI monitoring, predictive maintenance, and environmental compliance
“Armada’s edge computing and AI capabilities are unlocking unprecedented efficiencies in mining,” said Nordine Aamchoune, SVP International Sales at Armada. “Even in the most remote locations, operators can now access real-time analytics to improve performance.”
Showcasing Innovation at Mining Indaba 2025
4Sight and Armada will unveil their next-generation mining technology at Mining Indaba 2025, taking place in Cape Town from February 3-6.
“AI-powered edge computing is revolutionizing mining,” said Wilhelm Swart, Chief Operations Technology Officer at 4Sight Holdings. “Operators can now process and analyze data instantly, shifting from reactive to predictive decision-making.”
Industry leaders are taking note. Fred Noce, VP of Sales & Business Development for Mining Indaba, remarked:
