iLink Data Interface

Now available for xSeries surface rotary drills.

With iLink on board, you can automatically connect your fleet to planning, monitoring, and reporting systems, ensuring data flows exactly where it's needed without manual intervention.

One interface to connect your entire mine ecosystem

A drill speaks one language, but your mine speaks many. Without a way to bridge them, your rigs sit at the center of your operation but outside your data ecosystem. iLink translates it all using open REST/HTTP protocols.

What iLink does for your operation

Modular solutions for high-performance drilling environments.

04 Core Modules

01 - Automated drill plan deployment

Push updated drill plans from your mine planning system directly to the rig, eliminating manual data entry and keeping drilling aligned with changing pit conditions.

02 - Real-time equipment monitoring

Access live rig telemetry—pressures, speeds, feed force, alarms—from your operations or maintenance systems. Catch issues earlier and reduce unplanned downtime.

03 - Quality assurance and compliance

Measurement While Drilling (MWD) data flows automatically to your QA, analytics, and compliance workflows, supporting faster decision-making and enhancing transparency.

04 - Blasting and load/haul integration

Share drill hole data with blasting and haulage systems to optimize fragmentation, reduce overbreak, and keep the full value chain in sync.

Built for the future of mining

iLink isn’t a feature that will lose relevancy in a year. It is a foundational infrastructure designed to scale. As mining moves toward full autonomy, iLink provides the data backbone necessary for remote operations and artificial intelligence.

Our engineering teams are constantly refining the API to include emerging industrial protocols, ensuring your rigs remain connected to tomorrow's technology, today.

Going deeper on digitalization

iLink is just one part of a larger digital shift happening across surface mining. Interoperability like iLink is even more valuable when it's part of a broader digital strategy. See how mines across digital maturity levels are moving from isolated systems to connected operations.
