- Sika will distribute IndustryOS sensor technologies for tunneling and mining customers worldwide.

- The partnership extends Sika's Fast Forward digitalization strategy and its earlier Giatec cooperation.
Sika is expanding its digital offering for underground construction and mining through a global partnership with Australian IoT developer IndustryOS announced on Wednesday, November 4, 2026. GlobeNewswire reported that Sika will act as the global channel partner for IndustryOS's Safecrete and Safewall sensor technologies.
Real-time monitoring for underground work
Safecrete Qube uses embedded sensors to monitor the curing process and strength development of sprayed concrete in real time. This can help underground teams base re-entry decisions on measured performance rather than fixed waiting periods.
Safewall monitors strength development in paste barricades used in mining. The system indicates when barricades have reached the load-bearing capacity needed to withstand backfill pressure, supporting the restart of filling operations based on measured conditions.
Philipp Irniger, Sika's head of construction, said the agreement extends the company's digital capabilities into underground construction and mining. He linked the partnership to Sika's Fast Forward program and to Sika's earlier Giatec partnership covering digital solutions for concrete production and delivery.
IndustryOS chief executive Cameron Baker described Sika's materials expertise and global reach as a platform for wider adoption of real-time underground monitoring. For investors, the agreement broadens Sika's offering beyond materials and into digital tools that can support safety, quality control and more efficient development and fill cycles. The announcement did not provide a quantified earnings contribution.
