Your mine is complex. Bringing people up to speed doesn't have to be. A typical large mine site can spend over $2M per year on onboarding based on conservative labor modeling. MineTwin can cut that cost by over 40%.
Every new hire, contractor, and visitor at a remote mine goes through the same slow, generic onboarding — and it's costing real money every day they aren't productive.
Based on conservative labor rate modeling: thousands of induction events × hours of instructor time × loaded staff costs. One site — most operators have dozens.
New hires, rotating contractors, and site visitors — each one sits through hours of generic orientation regardless of their role or experience level.
A haul truck driver and an instrument tech get identical training despite completely different jobs, equipment, and safety needs.
An AI guide that knows who you are, what your job is, and walks you through a 3D model of your actual mine — and stays with you beyond day one.
Pulls your role, crew, shift, equipment, and supervisor the moment you log in. Every answer is specific to your job — the truck driver and the electrician see different mines.
A personalized walkthrough of the actual site — not a generic orientation video. Ask a question and the 3D model highlights exactly what you're asking about.
Doesn't end after orientation. The AI guide remains available as workers learn their role — answering the everyday questions that would normally require pulling someone aside.
Three steps connect your existing mine systems to a personalized, intelligent onboarding experience.
Employee profiles, equipment lists, maintenance records, and site orientation guides — loaded from the mine's existing systems. Nothing new needs to be created.
At login, the system loads your job title, team, shift, supervisor, certifications, and access zones — all before you ask a single question.
Ask any question and get answers specific to your role, backed by real operational data — and keep asking as you settle into the job.
Conservative model: only counts instructor time saved. Does not include retention, safety, or time-to-productivity gains — those layer in as upside.
% digitized is shown for governance context — ROI math uses hours saved per event directly as the defensible lever. Not included: retention, safety, scheduling friction, rework, cross-site reuse.MineZero — our production testbed — replicates the full data architecture of a real operating mine. When a customer signs, we already know how to pull their data in.
AI can now answer specific, data-backed questions in real time. The technology to build MineTwin became reliable and affordable in 2025 — it wasn't possible at scale two years ago.
Trimble, Hexagon, and Bentley sell you a map. None of them personalize the experience to the individual worker. Intelligent, role-aware onboarding is wide open.
Mining companies are struggling to find and keep workers. High turnover at remote sites and tighter safety regulations have made onboarding quality a C-suite priority.
Preston built Teck's global digital twin program — the exact system MineTwin replaces. Ludvig built the 3D engine it runs on. No other founding team has both mining operations depth and proprietary spatial technology.
