Launchpad Technologies

Now, organizations of all sizes around the world can seamlessly connect and manage enterprise automation and data integration by leveraging Launchpad’s cloud-hosted and fully managed PaasportTM platform, as well as post-configuration services that go above and beyond by providing long-tail support as part of clients’ subscriptions.

Weir Motion Metrics

Headquartered on the University of British Columbia campus, Weir Motion Metrics uses artificial intelligence and computer vision to improve mining safety and energy efficiency. Its flagship solution, a missing tooth detection system for mining shovels and loaders, notifies mine personnel when a tooth goes missing so it can be diverted before it obstructs crushers. This tech makes mining so much safer that many Weir customers refuse to operate their equipment without it.

Key stat: Weir’s solutions have been installed at more than 70 mines worldwide and are trusted by the largest mining companies, including Anglo American, Vale, KAZ Minerals, BHP Billiton, and Newmont. International exports accounted for 96 percent of the company’s 2021 revenue.
