Mine operations visibility
Shift reports, production data and handovers live in different places, so the true state of the site is hard to see.
Industries · Mining
An operating system for the mine — decision support, never safety-critical control.
FGAI connects shift reports, maintenance data, safety records, procurement and environmental readings into structured action for site leaders and HQ — designed for multi-site, multi-country operations wherever you mine, while every operational decision stays with competent people.

The challenge
What leaders in mining tell us gets in the way
Maintenance scheduling
Balancing planned maintenance, breakdowns, parts and crew availability across fleets and fixed plant.
Safety incident reporting
Incidents and near misses must be captured fully, investigated and closed out with evidence.
Equipment uptime
Early signals of equipment issues get lost between telemetry, operator notes and work orders.
Procurement and logistics
Long lead times, remote sites and critical spares make supply decisions high-stakes.
Environmental and workforce compliance
Monitoring data, permits, certifications and tickets all need tracking and reporting to regulators and HQ.
Remote sites, distant HQ
Sites in different countries and time zones report to a head office that needs one consistent picture — under each jurisdiction's mining, safety and environmental rules.
Decision support, not safety-critical control
FGAI coworkers never operate, control or override equipment, ventilation, blasting, isolation or any safety-critical system. They read data, organise information and recommend. Every operational and safety decision requires mandatory approval by a competent, authorised person, under your existing safety management system.

Possible integrations
Connect what you already use
- CMMS / EAM maintenance systems
- Fleet and equipment telemetry (read-only)
- Safety and incident management systems
- ERP and procurement
- Environmental monitoring data
- Workforce and training records
- Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace
Operational technology connections are read-only by design. Exact integrations are confirmed during discovery.
Human oversight & safeguards
People stay accountable
- No write access to control systems or safety-critical equipment.
- Mandatory human approval for every recommendation that affects operations, maintenance or safety.
- Full audit trail of data used, recommendation made and who approved it.
- Works within your existing safety management system and the mining, safety and environmental regulations of each jurisdiction you operate in — it does not replace them.
- No guarantees of uptime, safety or production outcomes; value is measured against outcomes agreed with you.
Regulatory references are illustrative. We adapt safeguards to the laws and regulators of each country you operate in.
Staged implementation
Start small. Extend when it's trusted.
- Phase 1
Discover
Map how work really flows across your teams, locations, time zones and systems — and which regulations apply where.
- Phase 2
Start with one or two coworkers
Deploy into the highest-value, lowest-risk area first, with clear human sign-off.
- Phase 3
Connect
Link your existing systems and knowledge so the operating system has context.
- Phase 4
Extend
Add further coworkers only when the first are trusted and measured against agreed outcomes.
- Phase 5
Stay alongside you
Ongoing managed support: monitoring, refinement and review. Most consultants finish a project. We stay.
