MineWare chief executive officer Andrew Jessett said MineWare’s vendor engagement model was also a key driver in securing the BMA partnership and other new client contracts.

He said it enabled MineWare to remain focused on its core areas of specialisation – technology, development, training and business intelligence.

“We offer a unique, highly consultative partnership approach to working with clients, understanding their operations and investigating long-term business improvement solutions,” he said.

“Together with our commitment to service, innovation, and research and development, this approach was a key factor in securing this win and strengthening our growing presence within the national and international mining industry.”

Since its establishment in 2005, MineWare has developed and installed its dragline monitor systems for a number of BMA’s key sites.

MineWare’s Pegasys dragline monitor has also been adopted by BHP Billiton Energy Coal South Africa.

Maximising the latest developments in GPS and wireless ethernet technologies, mobile functionality and enhanced system integration, MineWare aims to improve how the mining industry captures, analyses and interprets valuable production data from draglines and other heavy mining equipment.

The company’s latest remote, mobile monitoring systems collect and expose a wide range of dragline information for on and off board analysis, including mine plans, GPS stamped production data, delay reporting, detailed PLC information, strain gauge data and video camera footage.
