Autonomous Operations.
Zero Harm. Maximum Yield.
The mine of the future runs 24/7 without putting operators in harm's way. We help mining and resources companies deploy AI for predictive maintenance, autonomous haulage, and real-time safety intelligence.
The Mining Reality Check
Unplanned downtime on a single haul truck can cost $50,000 per day. Safety incidents are not just human tragedies—they halt entire operations. The industry is facing a skills crisis as experienced operators retire.
Unplanned Equipment Downtime
A single truck failure can cascade into millions in lost production.
Safety Compliance Risks
Remote sites make incident response challenging and dangerous.
Visibility Gaps
Operations managers can't see every corner of a vast pit or underground mine.
Fleet Uptime
ASSET ANALYTICS"Autonomous haulage systems have achieved 15-20% lower operating costs while improving safety."

Your AI Strategic Pillars
Build a safer, more productive mine with intelligent automation.
Predictive Maintenance
Sensor data from haul trucks, drills, and conveyors feed ML models that predict component failure weeks in advance, scheduling repairs during planned downtime.
- Vibration Analysis
- Oil Condition Monitoring
- Tire Wear Prediction
Safety Intelligence
Computer vision monitors PPE compliance, proximity to active equipment, and detects potential hazards in real-time, alerting supervisors instantly.
- PPE Detection
- Proximity Alerts
- Fatigue Monitoring
Autonomous Operations
From driverless haul trucks to autonomous drilling, remove humans from high-risk areas while maintaining 24/7 productivity with zero fatigue.
- Autonomous Haulage
- Auto-Drilling
- Remote Operations Centre
The Implementation Roadmap
From sensor connectivity to the fully autonomous mine. A phased approach that prioritizes safety and ROI.
Sensor Integration
Deploy IoT sensors across your fleet and fixed plant. Connect disparate systems to a unified data platform that serves as the foundation for all AI capabilities.
Operations Dashboard
Build a real-time 'digital twin' of your operation. See every asset, every crew member, and every potential hazard from a single control room.
Predictive Models
Deploy machine learning models for equipment health, ore grade prediction, and safety risk scoring. Move from reactive to proactive operations.
Autonomous Systems
Pilot autonomous haulage in controlled zones, expand to full-site coverage. Integrate with drilling and loading for end-to-end autonomous extraction.
The Autonomous "Mine of the Future"
Operating a world-class iron ore mine involves massive risks: moving 200-tonne haul trucks near humans, inconsistent operator driving styles causing wear on $5M+ tires, and difficulty recruiting skilled operators for remote fly-in-fly-out roles.
Rio Tinto implemented a site-wide Intelligent Network that coordinates a fleet of autonomous assets.
- Autonomous Haulage Systems: A fleet of 20+ driverless Komatsu trucks use high-precision GPS, LiDAR, and Radar to navigate the mine 24/7
- Autonomous Water Trucks: AI-driven trucks monitor dust levels on haul roads and deploy water only where needed, preserving scarce desert resources
- Auto-Drilling: Drills use AI to analyze rock density in real-time, adjusting bit speed and pressure for perfectly placed blast holes
"Rio Tinto's success isn't just about robots; it's about Data Orchestration. The real power lies in the central Brain (Operations Centre in Perth, 1,500km away) that uses AI to see the entire mine as a single, living machine."
In the resources sector, AI is the ultimate tool for de-risking operations. Whether managing a small quarry or a global mining operation, sensor networks and autonomous workflows keep people safe and equipment running at peak performance.
