Project intelligence - Tacmin.ai

Since 1996, Tacmin Construction (formerly Tacmin Group) has applied disciplined methodologies to transform open-pit mining operations. Over the years, our structured approach has consistently delivered measurable improvements in efficiency, safety, sustainability, and resource management for both owner and contractor mining models. By working alongside client teams, we embed a culture of continuous improvement from the outset—minimising the need for premature capital outlay. Where investment in technology is later required, operations have already been optimised, ensuring those investments are targeted, effective, and justified. This proven track record provides a strong platform as we extend our services through Tacmin.ai, offering clients a clear path from fragmented oversight to digitally enabled governance that strengthens outcomes at every stage of delivery.

The first stage of Tacmin.ai establishes a strong foundation by creating live, evolving digital models that unify mine designs, survey updates, and telemetry data into a single operating framework. Instead of relying on fragmented reports or delayed reconciliations, these models align “as-designed, as-built, and as-operated” conditions, providing one transparent version of the truth. This ensures that sequencing, reconciliation, and operational tracking are based on accurate, current information, reducing uncertainty and improving decision-making. Decades of open-pit experience are embedded into this process, allowing common risks and inefficiencies to be addressed from the outset. By working closely with the owner’s team, Tacmin.ai provides a clear operational baseline, strengthening plan adherence and ensuring projects are executed with precision, efficiency, and confidence.

Once a live operating model is in place, Tacmin.ai embeds integrated governance that unifies cost, schedule, and contractual performance into one transparent system. This phase introduces a control environment where contractor progress, valuations, and deliverables are tracked in real time, replacing retrospective reports with live, accountable oversight. By continuously aligning technical execution with financial performance, the system creates a transparent baseline that allows deviations to be detected and addressed early. This not only improves predictability but also provides owners with confidence that outcomes are being achieved within agreed budgets, schedules, and quality standards. By embedding advanced benchmarking, simulations, and early-warning indicators, Tacmin.ai enables proactive interventions, ensuring risks are mitigated before they escalate and delivery remains consistent with strategic objectives.

The third stage extends Tacmin.ai into the optimisation of assets by consolidating data from fleets, plants, and compliance systems into one actionable intelligence stream. By integrating diagnostics, predictive maintenance planning, spares forecasting, and utilisation tracking, mines are able to manage assets proactively rather than relying on reactive interventions. This structured approach reduces downtime, increases availability, and extends the lifespan of critical equipment, while also ensuring safer operation. More importantly, it provides owners with accurate lifecycle cost forecasts and operational benchmarks that inform long-term decision-making. Using advanced simulation and analytical tools, Tacmin.ai identifies performance gaps, highlights high-value improvement opportunities, and delivers targeted recommendations that directly enhance productivity and reduce costs. The result is an asset base that is both reliable and resilient, fully aligned with operational demands and future-ready strategies.

The final stage embeds safety directly into the same structured system that governs projects and assets, ensuring it is not treated as a standalone compliance activity but as an integrated part of operational intelligence. Tacmin.ai continuously tracks incidents, leading indicators, and compliance checks, providing a live safety picture that highlights risks before they materialise. Predictive alerts and proactive monitoring allow early interventions, significantly reducing the likelihood of delays, accidents, or costly stoppages. At the same time, all data is recorded and verifiable, strengthening compliance, auditability, and stakeholder confidence. By aligning safety oversight with project controls and asset management, Tacmin.ai delivers a holistic framework where efficiency, accountability, and protection are achieved simultaneously. This comprehensive approach not only enhances operational resilience but also establishes a culture of safety assurance that supports long-term, sustainable success.
