Mining & Resources

Asset-heavy operations, where downtime is measured in millions and a botched change stops production. We've delivered optimisation and project work at national scale, including across Australia's largest export coal-rail network. We run these programs the way the sector demands: safety-critical, defensible, and built to outlast the people who delivered them.

Resources programs rarely fail on the engineering. They fail on adoption and commercials, with a tool that's technically right but never makes it into how the planning team works. On Project PACE we learned that in the open: novel optimisation is a technology problem, an adoption problem, and a commercial problem in roughly equal measure, and skipping any one of the three gets you a great research paper and not much else.

We design for all three from day one: who owns the new way of working, where it sits in next year's operating budget, and how the capability transfers to your people. The maths is necessary. It is not sufficient.

Where we've done this

We rebuilt our website without touching the tools

We rebuilt softwired.com.au without operating a single tool by hand. Design, copy, CMS, and integrations all ran through an LLM, driven by prompts, skills, and agents working to acceptance criteria. It's our own delivery method, run on ourselves first.

Project PACE — optimising the track, not just the trains

In 2012, Aurizon Network commissioned a tool to optimise what the industry had left alone: rail-infrastructure maintenance. The maths got published, and Sandvik later acquired the vendor. The program taught us that novel optimisation is a technology, adoption, and commercial problem, all at once.
