On Wednesday, November 4, 2026, Sika announced a global partnership with Australian IoT developer IndustryOS to expand its digital offering for tunneling and mining customers. The company said in a GlobeNewswire release that it will act as the channel partner for IndustryOS's Safecrete and Safewall technologies.

Sensor technology targets safer operations

Safecrete Qube uses embedded sensors to monitor the curing process and strength development of sprayed concrete in real time. That data can help underground teams base re-entry decisions on measured performance instead of fixed waiting periods.

Safewall monitors the strength development of paste barricades in mining operations. The system indicates when barricades have reached the load-bearing capacity needed to withstand backfill pressure, allowing filling operations to resume on the basis of measured performance.

The products add a digital layer to Sika's established concrete admixture and sprayed-concrete activities. Philipp Irniger, Sika's Head of Construction, said the partnership builds on the company's recent collaboration with Giatec and extends its digital capabilities into underground construction and mining.

Sika said tunneling and mining offer long-term growth opportunities. The partnership gives the company a broader route to customers in these markets, although the announcement did not provide financial targets or quantify the expected contribution.
