Private AI Built for Australian Mining

Yes. We offer edge deployment configurations specifically designed for remote mine sites with limited or intermittent connectivity. The core model runs on ruggedised on-site hardware and synchronises with your central knowledge base when connectivity is available. This means operators can query safety procedures, equipment manuals, and compliance documentation even at sites with no internet connection. Typical edge hardware fits in a standard 19-inch rack and draws under 2kW.

Safety-critical applications demand zero tolerance for hallucination. Our mining deployments use retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) grounded exclusively in your approved documentation. Every response includes citations to the specific procedure, regulation, or standard it draws from. The model is configured to return "no approved procedure found" rather than generate speculative answers. We achieve 99.4% retrieval accuracy on safety procedure queries when tested against subject matter expert benchmarks.

Custom LLM integrates with major mine management platforms including SAP Mining, Deswik, MineSight, Hexagon Mining, and Wenco fleet management systems. Integration covers document repositories, incident management databases, shift handover systems, and equipment maintenance logs. For custom or legacy systems common in the Australian mining sector, our integration team builds API connectors during the onboarding phase, typically within three to four weeks.

Multi-site deployment uses a hub-and-spoke architecture. A central model contains your organisation-wide knowledge base including corporate policies, group safety standards, and regulatory frameworks. Each site maintains a local instance with site-specific procedures, geological data, and equipment configurations layered on top. Knowledge sharing between sites is controlled by your information governance framework, so sensitive geological data from one operation does not bleed into another.

Yes, and this is an area where private AI is particularly important. Cultural heritage survey reports, sacred site locations, and indigenous land use agreements contain highly sensitive information subject to the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Heritage Protection Act 1984 and state-level heritage legislation. A custom LLM keeps this data entirely within your controlled environment while enabling rapid retrieval during land disturbance planning, ensuring cultural heritage obligations are met before ground is broken.

Australian mining companies deploying custom LLM solutions typically see ROI within four to six months. The primary savings come from three areas: reducing time spent searching for safety procedures and technical documentation (average 45 minutes per query reduced to under 2 minutes), accelerating compliance reporting (70% reduction in report preparation time), and reducing incident investigation duration by enabling rapid cross-referencing of historical incidents, root causes, and corrective actions. A mid-tier mining operation with 500 employees typically saves $1.2 million to $2.4 million annually.
