Asset Reliability
Improve visibility into equipment condition, maintenance history, recurring failures and reliability performance across critical fixed and mobile assets.
Metals & Mining
Intelligence for Reliable, Safe and Connected Mining & Metals Operations
Metals and mining operations depend on the continuous movement of material, reliable performance of critical equipment and close coordination between field operations, maintenance, processing, safety and planning teams. Arix AI brings digital platforms, industrial data and connected workflows together to improve operational visibility, asset reliability and execution across complex operating environments.

The Operating Environment
Operations That Extend From Pit to Plant
Mining and metals operations span large physical environments and highly interconnected processes — from extraction and material movement through crushing, processing, utilities and downstream production.
Heavy mobile equipment, crushers, conveyors, mills, pumps, electrical systems and processing assets must operate alongside field teams, contractors and control-room functions, often under demanding environmental and operational conditions.
Digital transformation creates greater value when these assets, people, workflows and operating systems are connected rather than managed as isolated information silos.

Reliability
Reliability Across Critical Fixed and Mobile Assets
Mining and metals operations depend on equipment that often operates under high loads, demanding duty cycles and challenging field conditions. Visibility into maintenance history, condition, failures and recurring equipment issues is therefore fundamental to improving reliability.
Arix AI enables organisations to build a structured digital operating environment around equipment, work execution and reliability information.
Asset Register & Hierarchy
Organise plant, area, system and equipment information.
Preventive Maintenance
Schedule recurring inspections and maintenance activities.
Breakdown Management
Capture equipment failures, notifications, response and corrective work.
Work Order Management
Plan, assign, execute, verify and close maintenance work.
Reliability Analytics
Analyse failure patterns and indicators such as MTBF, MTTR and availability where supported by underlying data.
Condition & Inspection Data
Connect field inspection and available condition information to maintenance decisions.
Field Execution
Digital Workflows Beyond the Control Room
Mining environments involve significant operational activity away from offices and control rooms. Inspections, maintenance work, safety checks and equipment observations often happen across pits, plants, stockyards, workshops and remote operating areas.
Digital field workflows help bring structured information, evidence and execution visibility back into the operating system.
Digital Inspections
Structured equipment and operational inspection workflows.
Mobile Work Execution
Access assigned work and capture execution updates in the field.
Evidence Capture
Record photographs, observations and supporting information.
Defect Reporting
Capture equipment issues and route them into appropriate workflows.
Field Checklists
Digitise structured operational and maintenance checks.
Offline-Ready Workflows
Support field operating scenarios where connectivity may be intermittent, where enabled by the applicable solution.
Planning & Scheduling
Coordinating Work Across Assets, People and Production
Maintenance organisations must continuously balance preventive work, breakdowns, equipment availability, workforce capacity, contractor resources, spares and production requirements.
A structured planning and scheduling environment helps convert maintenance demand into an executable plan while giving teams better visibility into constraints, priorities and progress.

Major Maintenance
Greater Control During Shutdowns and Major Maintenance
Planned shutdowns and major maintenance events compress a large volume of work into limited operating windows. Effective execution requires coordination across tasks, labour, contractors, equipment, materials, safety controls and production dependencies.
Scope Consolidation
Bring planned shutdown activities into a common execution view.
Task Dependencies
Identify sequencing and execution dependencies.
Resource Planning
Coordinate labour, contractors and required resources.
Schedule Visibility
Track planned and actual execution progress.
Constraint Management
Surface issues that may affect critical work.
Closure Tracking
Monitor completion, pending activities and handover.
Safe Work Execution
Connecting Work Control With Field Execution
Mining and metals operations frequently involve high-risk maintenance and operating activities across electrical systems, heavy equipment, confined spaces, work at height, lifting operations, hot work and energy isolation.
Digital permit-to-work and work-control processes help maintain structured approvals, risk controls, isolations and traceability around the work being executed.
Permit to Work
Create, review, authorise, issue, suspend and close permits.
Risk Assessment
Support structured FLRA / JSA workflows where applicable.
Energy Isolation / LOTO
Capture required isolation controls and verification.
Field Verification
Record site checks and evidence.
Role-Based Approvals
Maintain clear responsibility through workflow stages.
Audit Trail
Retain traceable digital records of approvals and actions.
Connected Operations
Connecting Equipment Data With Operational Workflows
Mining and processing facilities generate equipment and process information across sensors, PLCs, SCADA systems, historians, condition-monitoring systems and connected machines.
The operating value of this data increases when it can be connected with equipment context, maintenance activity and enterprise applications.

Using Condition Data to Support Maintenance Decisions
Equipment condition can be reflected across vibration, temperature, pressure, electrical measurements, operating parameters, inspections and other available data sources.
Where sufficient and reliable data exists, analytics and AI can help teams identify patterns, prioritise equipment attention and complement established maintenance practices.

Bring available condition measurements into equipment context.
Pattern Detection
Identify unusual or changing equipment behaviour where data quality supports analysis.
Maintenance Prioritisation
Use operating and condition information to support maintenance decisions.

AI With Operational Context
AI is most valuable when it is grounded in reliable operating information and a clearly defined operational problem.
Maintenance Intelligence
Use work history and failure information to support reliability analysis and maintenance decisions.
Operational Assistants
Help users retrieve and interpret information across defined operational workflows.
Knowledge Intelligence
Improve access to manuals, SOPs, maintenance records and technical documents.
Decision Intelligence

Connected Enterprise
Bridging Mine, Plant and Enterprise Systems
Mining and metals organisations often operate a combination of enterprise applications, operational technology, equipment systems and specialised plant applications.
Arix AI is designed to integrate with the existing technology environment where required, creating connected workflows rather than another isolated information layer.
