Perth, Western Australia  ·  Operating since 2022

Control systems and industrial AI, engineered for mining.

Smart Solutions for Tough Environments

From foundational PLC, HMI and SCADA work to edge intelligence, machine learning, and fully autonomous equipment integration — we are the engineering layer where operational technology meets the AI systems reshaping how mines operate.

01 / How we work

End-to-end delivery, from concept to in-pit support.

Minetronic works the full lifecycle of an industrial control system. We don't hand off between vendors — the engineers who specify the system are the same ones writing the code, commissioning on site, and answering the phone at 2 am when something needs attention.

OT / IT integration

Bridging plant-floor systems to enterprise data platforms. Real-time data pipelines, historian integration, cloud connectivity, and dashboards that turn signals into decisions.

  • Data Pipelines
  • Historian
  • Cloud
  • Edge Gateway
  • APIs
03 / The frontier

Where industrial automation meets physical AI.

We're actively engineering the next generation of mining equipment — systems that perceive, decide, and act. This is where conventional automation gives way to learning systems, autonomous control, and AI agents that augment and progressively replace manual operation.

▸ AUTONOMY

Auto-drill control systems

Closed-loop control of drilling operations — depth, feed, rotation, and torque managed without operator input, with full safety supervision and remote oversight.

▸ SIGNAL

Real-time vibration analysis

Spectral analysis of machine vibration signatures running at the edge — detecting wear, fault conditions, and operational state changes long before they show on the maintenance dashboard.

▸ ML

Operational state detection

Machine-learning models trained on plant and equipment telemetry to classify operating regimes, predict transitions, and trigger control actions automatically.

▸ AGENTS

AI agents in the control loop

Software agents that augment operator decisions today and progressively take over routine supervision — moving the human role up the stack from joystick to oversight.

▸ AUTO-DRILL // RIG-04 AUTONOMOUS
Mode AUTO
Bit Depth 12.84 m
Penetration Rate 0.72 m/min
Rotation 118 rpm
Vibration State NOMINAL
▸ VIB FFT // 0–500 HZ
04 / Platforms

Deep capability across the platforms we trust.

We're vendor-pragmatic, but where we have specialist depth we say so. These are the platforms we work with day-in, day-out.

05 / Industries

Built for the sectors that can't afford downtime.

▸ PRIMARY
Mining & Resources
Surface and underground operations. Drill rigs, processing plants, mobile equipment, and the networks that hold it all together.
▸ ADJACENT
Heavy Industry
Process plants, manufacturing systems, and industrial operations where control engineering meets practical operational realities.
▸ CROSS-SECTOR
Critical Infrastructure
Oil & gas, rail, food & beverage, and other settings where safety, uptime and traceability are non-negotiable.

Have a problem worth engineering?

Whether it's a greenfield control system, a stalled commissioning, or an autonomy programme that needs someone who's actually built one — we'd like to hear about it.
