IMRt Masterclass | The Most Powerful Infrastructure You Never Saw Coming

Each light becomes a pathway for possibility, turning infrastructure into connection - the backbone of a connected site, linking the physical site to a digital layer.

As mining operations accelerate their digital transformation, achieving real-time visibility across complex and expansive sites remains a persistent challenge. Fragmented monitoring systems, high deployment costs, and limited scalability often restrict advanced digital capabilities to only the largest mining operators. This presentation introduces a transformative approach that redefines industrial lighting as the digital backbone of modern mining infrastructure.

Coolon’s award-winning Brilliant Connected Lights (BCL) platform converts everyday site lighting into a distributed wireless data network, creating a self-healing, site-wide mesh capable of supporting a broad ecosystem of IoT services. When integrated with a scalable 3D Digital Twin - originally developed for a city-level infrastructure management system - this data is visualised in real time within an intuitive, spatially accurate environment. The result is unprecedented operational transparency across site conditions, assets, and environmental factors, enabling faster decision-making and enhanced situational awareness.

Guided by Coolon’s philosophy of “making the invisible visible,” this innovation demonstrates how granular, spatially distributed data can be transformed into actionable insight. The convergence of connected lighting and digital twin technology lowers cost barriers to advanced data visualisation, making real-time operational intelligence accessible not only to top-tier mining companies but also to mid-tier and emerging operators.

This presentation will showcase a live demonstration of a digital twin powered by real-world BCL data from an operational mine site in remote regions of Indonesia. Attendees will experience how lighting infrastructure can evolve into a scalable digital platform supporting safety, efficiency, and future-ready mining operations.

Much like GPS and Wi-Fi technologies repurposed from entirely different fields, this innovation illustrates how merging proven systems can unlock transformative value for the mining industry. Delegates will leave with a new perspective on infrastructure, connectivity, and the future of intelligent mining.
