INDUSTRY CONCEPT PAPER · MINING

Connect operational signals and human decisions across site, control room and corporate teams.

Mining operates across remote locations, safety-critical processes, contractors and complex asset environments. AI can support faster awareness and coordination, but operational technology boundaries and human authority must remain explicit.

Practical conceptsResponsible AIAustralian context
01 / THE OPERATING REALITY

Where pressure
shows up.

  1. 01Information fragmented across shifts, sites and contractor systems
  2. 02Time-critical safety, maintenance and production decisions
  3. 03Strict separation and security needs across IT and operational technology
02 / SOLUTION CONCEPTS

Ideas clients can
see themselves in.

These are starting concepts, not promised outcomes. Each should be validated against the organisation's people, processes, systems, risk and baseline performance.

01

Shift intelligence brief

Compile approved production, maintenance and safety inputs into a role-based handover with source links and exceptions highlighted.

Faster, more consistent shift awareness
02

Maintenance work coordinator

Prioritise work requests using asset criticality, availability and parts context, with planners retaining final control.

Better planning focus and less coordination effort
03

Safety action workflow

Capture observations, route corrective actions, track evidence and escalate overdue controls without automating safety decisions.

Stronger follow-through and visibility
03 / RESPONSIBLE BY DESIGN

Move quickly.
Keep control.

Governance is part of the solution architecture, not a review left until launch.

  • ✓Keep advisory AI separate from direct safety and plant control
  • ✓Secure integration patterns for IT and operational technology
  • ✓Site-specific validation, fallbacks and human operating authority
04 / A PRACTICAL START

From concept to evidence.

01 · Discover

Start with a coordination workflow outside direct plant control.

02 · Prove

Test data quality, usability and failure modes with site personnel.

03 · Scale

Expand through governed interfaces and monitored operating procedures.
