Digitize Mine Operations Without the Enterprise Software Overhead

From fleet tracking to geological modeling, Bookuvai builds custom mining software that improves safety, productivity, and environmental compliance.

Industry: Mining

Pain Points

  • Hazardous Environment Monitoring Gaps: Mines generate vast amounts of sensor data from gas detectors, ground stability monitors, and ventilation systems, but legacy SCADA systems lack real-time alerting and trend analysis.
  • Fleet and Equipment Downtime: Haul trucks, drills, and loaders represent millions in capital. Unplanned downtime from reactive maintenance strategies costs mining operations up to $180 per minute.
  • Remote Connectivity Challenges: Mine sites in remote locations often lack reliable internet connectivity, requiring offline-capable applications that sync when connectivity is available.

Solutions

  • Mine Safety Monitoring Systems: Real-time safety dashboards that aggregate gas levels, ground stability, ventilation flow, and personnel location data with threshold-based alerting.
    • IoT sensor data ingestion
    • Real-time gas and stability alerting
    • Personnel proximity detection
    • Incident reporting and investigation workflows
  • Fleet Management Platforms: GPS-based fleet tracking with dispatch optimization, fuel consumption monitoring, and predictive maintenance scheduling for heavy mining equipment.
    • Real-time GPS fleet tracking
    • Dispatch and route optimization
    • Predictive maintenance algorithms
  • Geological Data Management: Platforms for managing drill hole data, assay results, and block model visualizations that help geologists make better resource estimation decisions.
    • Drill hole database management
    • Assay result visualization
    • Block model integration
    • 3D geological mapping

Use Cases

  • Underground Safety Dashboard — A real-time monitoring dashboard for underground mines displaying gas levels, ventilation flow, and personnel locations with automatic evacuation alerts. (180-260, $360-$520, 10-12 weeks)
  • Haul Truck Fleet Tracker — A GPS-based fleet management system tracking haul truck positions, cycle times, payload weights, and fuel consumption with dispatch optimization. (140-200, $280-$400, 8-10 weeks)
  • Drill Core Logging App — An offline-capable tablet app for geologists to log drill core samples with photo capture, lithology classification, and automatic sync to the central database. (80-120, $160-$240, 5-7 weeks)

Compliance Notes

  • MSHA 30 CFR mine safety and health standards
  • ISO 45001 occupational health and safety
  • Environmental protection agency discharge permits

Frequently Asked Questions

Can your software work offline at remote mine sites?
Yes. We build offline-first applications using service workers and local databases that queue data locally and sync automatically when connectivity is restored. This is standard for our mining clients.
Do you integrate with existing SCADA and PLC systems?
We build OPC-UA and Modbus adapters to connect with existing SCADA infrastructure and PLCs. Data is normalized and pushed to modern dashboards without disrupting existing control systems.
How do you handle the large volumes of sensor data?
We use time-series databases like TimescaleDB or InfluxDB with data partitioning strategies that handle millions of data points per day while maintaining fast query performance.
