Surface Mining Technology Assessments & Roadmaps

Empower your mining operations with expert evaluations and data-driven insights

While many mines invest heavily in surface technology, few see the full return on investment. Staff turnover, inadequate change management, poor vendor support and other issues often result in their benefits not being fully realised. At the same time, as ore grades decline and operational costs rise, the difference between an unprofitable mine and a world-class operation often lies in how effectively technology and data can be harnessed.

Our Surface Mining Technology Assessment sets you up with the right information and a plan to get your technology back on track. We provide a deep-dive evaluation of your current and future Operational Technology (OT), measuring how effectively your tools solve site-specific challenges—from payload compliance to dilution control to equipment reliability. 

As part of our assessments, the MTS team doesn't just look at the software; we look at how technology interacts with your people and processes. Our on site process includes:

• Systems Audit & Inventory: A thorough review of your existing technology fleet management systems (FMS), high-precision GPS, autonomous solutions, and communication networks.

• People, Process and Skills Review: A comprehensive review of team proficiency, adoption of technology and the level of training and mentoring required to take technology to the next level onsite.

• Gap Analysis: Pinpointing specific areas where technology is underperforming or where manual workarounds are really causing pain.

• How can it further help you optimise your mine? Evaluating how your mining technology can be better and consistently harnessed to help you address operational challenges, reduce mining costs and improve safety.

• Scalable Roadmap: Providing a clear, prioritised strategic roadmap for future success, ensuring your capital investments are directed toward the technologies that offer the highest ROI.

We believe that mining technology should be accessible to everyone. We work with any operation, regardless of your current level of technological maturity. Whether you are a "greenfield" site looking to build a digital foundation from scratch or a "brownfield" operation seeking to modernise legacy systems, MTS provides the technical expertise and mining-domain knowledge to help move you forwards.
