Its LinkOA platform is OEM-agnostic and mixed-fleet, meaning it runs machines it did not build, which is the structural difference from the closed autonomy stacks of Caterpillar and Komatsu. At Hancock Iron Ore Roy Hill in Australia, LinkOA controls 78 autonomous mining trucks and the site became in 2025 the world largest OEM-agnostic fully autonomous mine, with more than 350 million tonnes moved autonomously. Across the group, 3,900 driverless machines including mixed fleet were installed at the end of 2025, up 13 percent, alongside more than 100 CAS 9 collision-avoidance installations. FY2025 revenues were MSEK 61,998, down 3 percent reported but up 2 percent organically, with operating profit MSEK 11,925 at a 19.2 percent margin, operating cash flow MSEK 7,726, net debt to EBITDA 0.73 and around 19,000 employees across roughly 150 countries. The 2026 development to watch is downmarket: the Heidelberg Materials order dated 2026-06-04 extends LinkOA from mining into aggregates, deploying on Komatsu HD605 haul trucks in a mixed-fleet environment at a Western Australia quarry, testing whether autonomy economics survive outside the long predictable haul routes and enormous fleets that made the mining case obvious. Commercial scores 4 because autonomy and digital revenue is not broken out from the group total.","sub_category":"Field & outdoor","signals_total":2,"url":"https://www.frontiertechintelligence.com/companies/epiroc","title":"Epiroc · robotics, Stockholm, Stockholm County, Sweden · scores, facts and signals · Frontier Tech Intelligence","description":"Epiroc builds and supplies autonomous mining systems, including SmartROC autonomous surface drill rigs, AutoNav-equipped loaders, and driverless haul-truck solutions for quarries and mines.
