ONX Automation began its activities by providing consulting services in robotics, automation, analysis and data processing for SMEs and large corporations wishing to embark on a digital shift. At the time, the vision was clear: to offer services to manufacturers to enable them to remain competitive despite their operational challenges.

In July 2021, having supported more than a dozen industrial companies, the ONX team began its second phase with the development of an intelligent, connected ventilation monitoring system for the underground mining industry (VORTEN). This innovative solution is fully in line with ONX’s mission, since it will help reduce a mine’s operating costs by optimizing ventilation, leading to electricity savings, while reducing the resources devoted to ventilation monitoring and improving health and safety practices.
