Integration with Sandvik
Deswik forms part of Sandvik’s Digital Mining Technologies division. Drill plans created in Deswik transfer automatically to Sandvik production drill rigs (DL422i, DL422iE, DL432i) [2]. In 2023, Sandvik acquired Polymathian (optimisation algorithms) and integrated it into the Deswik platform [3].
