What we do

What we do

We don’t just consult — we take ownership, manage delivery, and ensure outcomes that drive long-term value. Whether it's improving asset reliability, executing operational readiness activities, or leveraging data for better decisions, our team is here to make a measurable difference.

Operational Readiness

Operational Readiness

We take a holistic approach to ensure your site is fully prepared to accept and operate new plant or equipment from day one. Operational Readiness is more than just commissioning—it’s about making sure every part of your organisation is ready for a seamless transition.

A major focus is Maintenance Readiness, ensuring:

  • All new plant and equipment are logically structured in the CMMS

  • Holistic maintenance strategies are developed based on criticality and licence to operate requirements

  • Spare parts are identified, catalogued, stocked, and BOMs (Bills of Materials) populated

But Maintenance Readiness is just one part of the bigger picture. Our whole-of-site Operational Readiness approach also covers:

  • Developing operational procedures and readiness plans to track progress

  • Ensuring all site support departments are engaged and aligned (Safety, Emergency Response, Commercial, Metallurgy, etc.)

  • Preparing the site to receive and manage manuals, drawings, cost centers, financial systems, and operational data

  • Confirming metallurgical processes and accounting systems are in place and ready

This integrated approach ensures your operation doesn’t just start—it starts ready to perform safely, efficiently, and sustainably.

Asset Management

Asset Management

We help clients build and maintain robust asset strategies that drive performance, reduce downtime, and extend asset life. Our approach starts with a comprehensive review of the client’s existing asset maintenance strategy to ensure it is practical, complete, and aligned to operational needs.

Key elements include:

  • Developing or refining a logical and practical asset structure

  • Establishing a holistic maintenance strategy based on equipment criticality and licence to operate requirements

  • Ensuring each maintenance task is supported by clear instructional documents linked to work orders for consistent execution

  • Integrating data & analytics to drive KPI visibility and support data driven decision making.

By focusing on structure, strategy, and execution, we help clients achieve greater reliability, visibility, and value from their assets.

Business Improvement

Business Improvement

Our Operational Excellence Review process goes beyond surface-level assessments. Leveraging extensive experience in Process Plant operations, we review your plant against a pre-defined Operational Excellence criteria developed by i4.0 Mining Solutions.

This structured review identifies gaps and opportunities, which are then translated into practical, achievable, and sustainable actions that generate high value for your operation.

We also provide:

  • Workflow optimisation

  • Data-driven performance tools

  • Change management support to embed improvements across teams and sites

With this approach, you gain targeted, high-impact improvements that deliver measurable results.

  • Integrating data systems for real-time visibility
