About
MaxMine is a full-stack mining improvement platform that goes far beyond a traditional Fleet Management System. By combining high-resolution data capture, artificial intelligence, machine learning, and hands-on operational coaching, MaxMine helps surface mining operations eliminate inefficiencies, reduce incidents, and optimize every haul cycle. The platform is OEM-agnostic, integrating with all equipment manufacturers and surface mining asset types. It is entirely cloud-powered, removing the need for on-site IT infrastructure while giving teams access to insights from any location at any time. MaxMine operates on an all-inclusive monthly subscription model and includes expert coaches who embed the platform into a mine's daily operating rhythm—ensuring it becomes a core part of operations rather than a shelf-ware tool. MaxMine offers two product tiers: **Pulse**, which replaces paper-based tracking with real-time intra-shift data for mines without existing fleet technology, and **Impact**, which layers deep analytical outcomes on top of existing FMS data to expose the root causes of lost productivity and safety risk. Key capabilities include granular idle time visualization and event-level contextual logging, payload optimization, operator behavior monitoring with event replay, haul road performance analysis, and Short Interval Control for real-time shift management. The platform also functions as a comprehensive black box recorder for safety incident investigation—capturing millions of asset hours with full operator-machine context so teams can answer hard questions with confidence.
Key Features
- Idle Time Optimization: Visualizes idle time across the entire fleet with event-level logging contextualised by location, operator, and activity—enabling targeted interventions that save fuel, time, and money.
- Operator Behavior Monitoring & Replay: Records every operator-machine interaction so teams can replay idle events, identify patterns, and coach operators with data-backed evidence rather than assumptions.
- Safety Incident Black Box: Functions as a world-class black box recorder for mining equipment—capturing millions of asset hours with full context so root causes behind every safety incident can be investigated and addressed.
- Short Interval Control (SIC): Provides real-time intra-shift data and decision-support to shift supervisors, enabling faster, better-informed responses to changing site conditions.
- OEM-Agnostic Cloud Platform: Works with every equipment manufacturer and all surface mining asset types, with all data processed and stored in the cloud—no local IT overhead required.
Use Cases
- Reducing idle time across haul truck fleets by identifying bottlenecks, queuing hotspots, and repeat offending operators with event-level data and replay.
- Investigating safety incidents using complete, time-stamped operator-machine interaction records to understand root causes and prevent recurrence.
- Transitioning mine sites from paper-based shift reporting to real-time digital tracking using MaxMine Pulse for faster intra-shift decisions.
- Maximizing payload on every truck cycle by monitoring load data and coaching operators and shovels to fill trays to optimal capacity.
- Improving haul road conditions and managing crusher or dump congestion by identifying operational bottlenecks through data-driven analysis.
Pros
- Truly OEM-Agnostic: Integrates with any equipment manufacturer, making it deployable across mixed-fleet mining operations without vendor lock-in.
- Expert Coaching Included: Dedicated coaches embed the platform into mine operations, ensuring adoption and sustained improvement rather than leaving teams to figure it out alone.
- Two Tiers for Every Mine: Pulse serves mines with no fleet technology while Impact layers on top of existing FMS systems, meaning MaxMine is accessible regardless of current tech maturity.
- Cloud-Powered with No IT Overhead: All data is processed and stored in the cloud, eliminating the need for on-site servers and enabling anytime, anywhere access to operational insights.
Cons
- Surface Mining Specific: MaxMine is purpose-built for surface mining load-and-haul operations and is not applicable to underground mining or other industries.
- Pricing Not Publicly Available: Subscription costs are not disclosed on the website; prospective customers must engage the sales team to receive pricing information.
- Sales-Led Onboarding Required: There is no self-serve trial or sign-up; getting started requires direct engagement with the MaxMine sales and coaching team.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is MaxMine?
MaxMine is an OEM-agnostic AI and machine learning platform designed for surface mining operations. It combines high-resolution equipment data with expert coaching to improve safety, productivity, and sustainability across load-and-haul operations.
What is the difference between MaxMine Pulse and MaxMine Impact?
MaxMine Pulse is designed for mines that do not have existing fleet technology, replacing paper-based tracking with real-time digital data for intra-shift decision making. MaxMine Impact is built for mines already using a Fleet Management System (FMS), adding the deeper insights and outcomes that standard FMS tools cannot provide.
Does MaxMine work with my existing equipment?
Yes. MaxMine is fully OEM-agnostic, meaning it integrates with all equipment manufacturers and all surface mining asset types—regardless of brand or age.
Is MaxMine a cloud-based solution?
Yes. MaxMine processes and stores all data in the cloud, eliminating the need for local IT infrastructure. Insights are accessible from any device, at any time, from any location.
How does MaxMine improve mine safety?
MaxMine acts as a black box recorder for all mining equipment, capturing operator behavior and machine response with full context. This allows teams to investigate the root causes of every incident, identify at-risk operator behaviors, and drive lasting safety improvement through data-backed coaching.
