Who we are and what we do
We’re based in Newcastle, and we design and manufacture technology products on behalf of mining equipment manufacturers and mines. They’re generally new types of in-mine precision sensing and control technology — products that deliver on a currently unsolved problem.

Our Site First Method
Since 2012 we have built over 50 different products for blasting, milling, drilling, digging, hauling, maintenance and rail.
And over that time we have identified the essential ingredients that make mining technology products that:
- Develop quickly
- Achieve rapid market adoption
- Scale to sites globally
We call this approach to mining technology design site first and it focuses on delivering an outcome for the following 3 key people of mining:
Mine
10X financial win for the mine
Operator
Operated by guys on their first shift
Maintenance
Maintained by site based auto electricians and fitters
Our capabilities
Products that adopt a site-first mentality and nail the brief for all three people have the best chance of success. It’s what we build our design and manufacturing services around, with every skill set on staff, under the one roof.
Electronics
Circuit boards and the components around them, designed for site conditions.
AI software
Machine vision and control software that runs out where the work happens.
Mechanical
Industrial design that stands up to dust, vibration, water and operators.
Manufacturing
Production in Newcastle, exported and supported in over nine countries.
With those skill sets bundled together under the one roof, and over a decade of mining experience, we can develop and deploy a working product to site testing within four months.
