Mining
Mining is SVARA's industry vertical for extractive operations — where the Intelligence Loop enables remote operations, improves equipment duty cycles, and delivers haul-road intelligence across the mine value chain.
Architecture
SVARA's mining architecture spans the pit, the processing plant, and the remote operations center. Edge gateways run inference on trucks, shovels, and conveyors; a central intelligence layer coordinates fleet assignment, haul routing, and plant throughput.
Fleet Observe
Telemetry and cameras on trucks, shovels, and loaders for real-time payload, location, and duty-cycle awareness.
Haul-Road Understand
AI models that assess haul-road condition, cycle times, and queue events per bench and route.
Equipment Predict
Predictive maintenance and duty-cycle forecasting for haul fleet and processing plant assets.
Remote Operations Coordinate
Automated dispatch, haul-route assignment, and remote-equipment operation routed from the operations center.
Data Flow: Fleet, plant, and haul-road data flows into the Intelligence Loop. Cycle insights drive dispatch, predictions trigger maintenance, and outcomes refine the models.
Use Cases
Remote Equipment Operations
Tele-remote and supervised-autonomous operation of drills, shovels, and dozers from a remote operations center — removing operators from the pit floor while keeping cycle times competitive.
Duty-Cycle and Payload Optimization
Real-time payload, fill-factor, and queue monitoring that optimizes truck-shovel matching and haul cycles, lifting fleet productivity without adding units.
Haul-Road Intelligence
Continuous haul-road condition assessment and route assignment that cuts rolling resistance events, cycle-time variance, and tire damage.
Deployment
Mining deployment begins with a single pit or processing area, then scales across the operation. Edge gateways run on-asset and on-bench, with a remote operations center for fleet-wide coordination.
- 01Select pilot pit or plant area for initial deployment
- 02Deploy edge gateways on haul trucks and shovels, and connect existing SCADA
- 03Configure duty-cycle, payload, and haul-road models
- 04Stand up the remote operations center and integrate dispatch
- 05Validate against baseline productivity and availability KPIs
- 06Scale across remaining pits, plant, and the wider operation

Frequently Asked Questions
Can SVARA run on remote sites with intermittent connectivity?
Yes. Edge-first inference runs on-asset and on-bench. SVARA syncs events and aggregates to the remote operations center when bandwidth allows, so site operations continue uninterrupted.
How does SVARA integrate with our fleet management system?
SVARA connects to major mining FMS platforms via pre-built connectors and APIs, adding AI-powered dispatch and prediction without replacing existing systems.
What ROI do mines typically see?
Mines typically see 10-20% improvement in fleet productivity, 15-30% reduction in unplanned downtime, and 15-25% reduction in cycle-time variance within the first year of deployment.
Comparisons
Traditional Fleet Management Systems
Dispatch and payload reporting without predictive action.
SVARA predicts fleet and asset states and re-dispatches in real time, closing the loop between observation and action.
Return on Investment
Mining deployments typically deliver 10-20% fleet productivity improvement, 15-30% reduction in unplanned downtime, and 15-25% reduction in cycle-time variance within the first year.
