Enhanced Mining Safety
Connect real-time gas detection, equipment monitoring and personnel tracking so hazards are identified earlier and emergency response is faster.
Automation • Data • Smart mine systems
Mining automation built around real underground systems.
Mineflow develops practical automation, dashboards and decision-support tools for underground ventilation, dewatering, backfill and fixed infrastructure systems.
Capability overview
Digital systems for mining engineers, operators and maintenance teams.
Mineflow automation is not generic software. It is built around real underground assets and the decisions site teams need to make: flow, pressure, level, fan status, pump status, paste quality, downtime, alarms and readiness.
- SCADA, historian and SQL data workflows
- Power BI and operational dashboards
- Pump, fan, paste plant and fixed asset monitoring
- Alarm logic, TARPs and trigger actions
- Engineering calculators, registers and reporting tools
Smart mine outcomes
Connected monitoring that improves safety, efficiency and control.
Automation should make underground operations easier to see, easier to control and easier to improve. Mineflow links field data to practical displays, triggers and daily decisions.

Improved Operational Efficiency
High-throughput fibre and wireless networks support live video, remote machinery visibility, automation and reduced manual inspection workload.
Cost Optimisation
A unified communication architecture reduces duplicated equipment, simplifies system management and helps lower downtime and maintenance losses.
Scalability for the Future
Modular network and monitoring design can support future 5G, AI analytics, autonomous mining and long-term smart mine transformation.

Dashboards
Live dashboards that turn raw site data into decisions.
Mineflow builds dashboards around the way underground crews, engineers and managers actually use information.
- Operations overview and system status
- Flow, pressure, level and runtime trends
- Downtime summary and exception reporting
- Daily engineering reporting and shift handover
- Management views without losing engineering detail
Historian & Data
Clean data before building dashboards.
Mine sites often already have the data. The challenge is fixing names, time zones, bad values and disconnected tables so the output can be trusted.
- SQL historian extraction and query workflows
- Tag mapping and equipment naming cleanup
- Time-zone correction and timestamp alignment
- Data validation, missing values and quality flags
- Automated refresh logic and reporting pipelines
Dewatering Automation
Monitor pump stations, sumps, pipelines and discharge systems.
Dewatering automation makes it easier to see whether the system is keeping up before water becomes a production problem.
- Pump runtime, starts and status dashboards
- Sump level and flow trend monitoring
- Pressure and blocked-line detection concepts
- Pump efficiency and duty checks
- Maintenance triggers and exception reports
Ventilation Automation
Give engineers visibility of airflow, fan performance and power use.
Ventilation data can support safety compliance, energy efficiency and faster response when fan or airflow conditions change.
- Primary fan and secondary fan monitoring
- Pressure, airflow and regulator trend dashboards
- Fan duty, power and overload monitoring
- Ventilation compliance reporting
- Alarm and exception logic for critical ventilation assets
Backfill Automation
Connect paste plant, reticulation, underground cameras and QAQC.
Backfill automation brings paste plant performance, binder use, density, UCS results, fill progress and bulkhead monitoring into one operating view.
- Paste plant SCADA dashboards
- Binder usage and reconciliation
- Paste density, solids and water addition tracking
- UCS sample and curing-age dashboards
- Bulkhead cameras, fill progress and downtime reporting
Asset Reliability
Use automation data to reduce failures and improve maintenance planning.
Runtime, starts, alarms, downtime and failure data can support better maintenance decisions and clearer accountability.
- Runtime-based maintenance triggers
- Critical asset dashboards
- Failure trend reporting
- Spare parts and inspection visibility
- Reliability improvement tracking
Smart Network
Unified communications for mine-wide automation.
Mineflow can support concepts that bring fibre, wireless, cloud, control-room visibility and underground devices into a practical architecture.
- Fibre, WiFi, 5G-ready and wired network concepts
- Control room, cloud and site server architecture
- Video monitoring and remote visibility
- Ring redundancy and resilient design thinking
- Future integration with AI and autonomous systems
FAQ
Common automation questions.
Does automation need to be a big project?
No. The best starting point is often one repeated manual task, one unreliable report or one critical asset group.
Can Mineflow work with existing site systems?
Yes. The focus is usually extracting, cleaning and presenting useful data from systems the mine already has.
Can automation connect to engineering work?
Yes. Automation can support ventilation, dewatering, backfill, maintenance, asset management and project reporting.
Automation process
Connect, clean, visualise, trigger and improve.
A practical automation project should start by connecting what already exists, then turning it into information that people can act on.
Connect
Bring data from SCADA, historians, sensors, spreadsheets, inspections and manual logs.
Clean
Fix tags, time zones, missing values, bad data and unreliable points.
Visualise
Build dashboards that operators, engineers and managers can actually use.
Trigger
Create alarms, TARPs and notifications for key operating conditions.
Improve
Use the data to reduce downtime, improve reliability and support better decisions.
Mine-wide connected infrastructure
Control cloud, network slices and monitoring
Underground services and live data
Mineflow automation
Need practical automation without turning it into a giant IT project?
Start with the system you already have. Mineflow can review the current arrangement, clean the data, build useful dashboards and define triggers that support daily decisions.
