What changes when it is mining & metals

The honest answer is frequently to buy rather than build, and sometimes to keep what you have. We say so even when it means less work for us.

In mining & metals, the environment is hostile to hardware and safety compliance is non-negotiable. That single fact reshapes how it has to be built here, the guardrails, the approval points and the evidence trail are design inputs rather than things bolted on before go-live.

The workload we are most often asked to take on first is environmental compliance reporting, usually integrated against fleet management. We build the smallest thing that proves the case, put it in front of real users, and expand only what earns its keep.

Multi-model by default, so a provider outage is a routing decision rather than an incident. You own the code, the models where they are open-weight, and the documentation to run it without us.

  • ore grade estimation
  • environmental compliance reporting

What is included

  • Current-state assessment across systems, contracts and capability
  • Build, buy or partner analysis with the reasoning documented
  • Vendor selection criteria and scored comparison
  • Roadmap sequenced by dependency and value
  • Cost review across licences, cloud and support contracts
  • Risk register with owners and mitigations

Questions from this sector

Will cameras survive site conditions?

With appropriate industrial housings, yes. Hardware selection matters more than model selection in mining deployments.

Can it improve safety compliance?

PPE and exclusion-zone monitoring provide consistent, documented observation that manual supervision cannot match across a full shift.

Do you resell any of the products you recommend?

No. We take no commission from any vendor, and we disclose any relationship that could colour a recommendation. That independence is the product.

Will you also implement it?

We can, and you are not obliged to use us. The advice stands alone, and we would rather you tested it against other quotes.

How long does an assessment take?

Two to four weeks for most organisations. Long enough to be thorough, short enough that findings are still current when you act.

IT for mining & metals, worth a conversation?

Tell us the workload and the regulation it sits under. We will tell you what is realistic.
