Weir Motion Metrics Cuts Ribbon on State-of-the-Art Manufacturing and Distribution Center

Vice President, Mike Funke, oversees ESCO division global supply chain and Weir Motion Metrics operations.

At 19,725 square feet, the new facility is an exciting next step for Motion Metrics, which was born in a business incubator at the University of British Columbia and grew to be the market leader in innovative artificial intelligence (AI) and 3D rugged machine vision technology for miners worldwide. Weir acquired Motion Metrics in late 2021.

“In recent years, there has beena very strong pull from mining leaders for AI-enabled digital solutions,” said Mike Funke, of Weir ESCO.

Miners are increasingly focused on improving the safety, efficiency, productivity and sustainability of their operations. Weir Motion Metrics specializes in developing advanced monitoring solutions designed to attain these critical objectives. The facility will continue to support demand and customer needs for years to come.

“This space will be the new home for Weir’s global center of excellence for artificial intelligence and digital solutions. The grand opening reflects our continued commitment to the Vancouver technology and business communities,” added Funke. Team members will begin moving into the new facility in phases this spring.
