A great platform to connect
EXCON is the biggest trade fair for Construction Equipment (CE) and construction technology in India. Jerry Andersson, Managing Director, Epiroc Mining India Ltd informs, “Trade fairs like EXCON are basically touch points for us to engage with our existing customers and potential clients in a common forum.” He adds, “We also get an opportunity to connect with industry partners, various equipment manufacturers, trade associations, policy regulators, as well as our competitors. Government and private industries have robust plans for the construction and civil engineering segments which will contribute to our growth in a big way.”

Andersson states, “Our aim is to be ‘First in Mind-First in Choice’ of our stakeholders in the B2B and B2C segments.”

Commenting on the differences at this year as compare to last year, He explains, “We are expecting more footfalls this year. In the current scenario, the market is showing signs of growth. Our upgraded versions of our semi-hydraulic drill models, AirROC D35 SH and AirROC D40 SH will be showcased. We would also be displaying Certiq, our data management system, which is one of our products in the automation or digitisation portfolio. Digitisation and automation are already making waves in our industry and have become a major part of our product portfolio.”

Major announcements
Andersson informs, “We would be unveiling our new company, Epiroc Mining India Ltd, which is an independent entity formed by Atlas Copco Group.”

The name Epiroc is derived from the Greek word ‘epi’which means ‘at, close, upon’ and‘roc’ from the Latin wordrocca, which means rock. So Epiroc means ‘at rock’, reflecting the focus on mining, rock excavation and natural resources, as well as proximity to customers and the strength of the partnerships. With cutting-edge technology, Epiroc develops and produces innovative drill rigs, rock excavation and construction equipment, and provides world-class service and consumables.

Epiroc ready to showcase huge range of machines
The company will be showcasing its huge array of machines at EXCON, including the Boomer L2D for the first time. He states, “We plan to launch upgraded versions of our semi-hydraulic drill models, AirROC D35SH and AirROC D40SH. These drills are an upgrade from the existing AirROC model andare a more productive and cost-effective solution.”

Certiq – A telematics solution
With automation and digitisation being so important these days, the company will also be showcasing its new data management system, Certiq, from Epiroc. Certiq is a telematics solution that can gather compare and communicate vital information on equipment.

Distant knowledge and instant overviews of the fleet are the keys to improving the processes. Certiq keeps track of everything that happens – or doesn’t happen. He informs, “We make this information accessible to you – wherever you are, whenever you need it. In an increasingly mobile world, this is a solution that gives you full control of your equipment, whether you’re in the field or in the office. Certiq effectively tracks your business.”
