What changes when it is mining & metals

Idempotency is the difference between a safe replay and a duplicate invoice. We build it in from the first connector.

In mining & metals, the environment is hostile to hardware and safety compliance is non-negotiable. That single fact reshapes how workflow & integration automation 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 PPE and safety compliance monitoring, usually integrated against geological modelling software. Every engagement opens with a measurement: the cycle time, the cost per transaction, or the error rate we are being asked to move.

Built by engineers who ship production systems, not by a practice that subcontracts the build. Six weeks to something running in production, not six quarters to a strategy document.

  • ore grade estimation
  • environmental compliance reporting

What is included

  • Integration map across your current systems
  • Two-way sync with conflict resolution rules
  • Retry, alerting and dead-letter handling
  • Idempotency so replays never double-post
  • Runbook and monitoring dashboard
  • Handover documentation your team can maintain

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 use tools like n8n and Zapier, or custom code?

Both, chosen by fit. Off-the-shelf automation is right for straightforward flows; custom code earns its keep once volume, error handling or logic complexity grows.

What if a system has no API?

There is usually a path, database access, file exchange, or a supported export. We assess feasibility before quoting rather than after.

Who maintains it afterwards?

You do, and we write the runbook and documentation to make that realistic. We also offer a managed retainer if you would rather we kept it.
