Connected Mine Performance: Mine Production Reporting Software
Bring fleet, drill and blast, geology, survey, consumables and maintenance data into one validated store, then report it the same way across every shift, site and region.
Production data scattered across a dozen systems?
Fleet management, drill systems, grade control and spreadsheets each hold part of the picture. Without one validated store, every report starts with a reconciliation.
- ✕Fleet, drill and survey systems that don’t talk to each other
- ✕Plan vs actual rebuilt by hand every shift
- ✕Survey, truck factor and payload numbers that never agree
- ✕Stockpile tonnes and grades nobody trusts at month end
Connects to the systems you already run
Pre-built interfaces to the systems most mines already use, plus manual web entry for everything else.
This is the connector library for the whole Connected Mine platform. Plant and historian systems also feed Connected Process Performance, and spatial data feeds Connected Spatial Intelligence. Connected Mine Performance uses the systems below.

Eight modules, one validated store
Each module matches a discipline on site, and they all report from the same data.
Production
Every cycle and time event from your fleet management system, with payload, distance, operator, location, material and grade.
Drill and blast
Drilling, explosives, blast design and broken stocks, compared with design and plan.
Geology and survey
Grade attached to every movement, survey factoring, and mill-to-mine and reserve-to-mine reconciliation.
Product tracking
Stockpile tonnes and grades with FIFO, FILO and weighted average, keeping the original block estimate through the flow.
Budgets and plans
A validated store for budget, plan and target data, so every report compares actuals with plan.
Consumables
Fuel, oils, lubricants, tyres and GET, compared with equipment hours, loads and distances.
Ground support
Collection and reporting of underground ground support data, from web entry or third-party systems.
Maintenance assist
Maintenance time, machine health and maintenance consumables, compared with production and time.
Production and time usage
Every load, cycle and time event from your fleet, validated and reported the same way every shift.
- ✓Cycles and time events from Cat MineStar, Modular, Wenco, Jigsaw, Pitram and others
- ✓Reported against your site’s own time usage model, or several, not one imposed on you
- ✓Payload, distance, operator, location, material and grade on every movement
- ✓Movements and equipment time compared with plan and target
- ✓Short interval control reporting during the shift
- ✓Manual entry for any production data without a feed
Loading summary: material moved, availability, cycle times, payload and hourly tonnes by loader
Time usage waterfall: calendar time to value productive hours
Payload by loader, material and hauler
Drilling summary: metres, penetration rate and availability by drill, with hole accuracy for each shot
Drill and blast data analysis
Every hole, blast and consumable recorded and compared with design and plan.
- ✓Drill pattern and hole accuracy: collar X-Y and depth, design vs actual
- ✓Downhole data: air pressure, bit torque, bit weight, penetration rate, RPM and vibration
- ✓Shot summaries with explosives, stemming and powder factor against target
- ✓Drill availability, utilisation and time class by drill
- ✓Explosives, accessories, consumables and broken stocks
- ✓Interfaces to Cat Terrain, Modular ProVision, Jigsaw and other drill systems, plus manual entry
Shot summary: design vs actual and powder factor
Drilling profile: hole map and downhole data for every hole
Geology, survey and reconciliation
Machine-reported tonnes corrected by measured truth, so plan, mine and mill finally agree.
- ✓Grade attached to every movement, with missing grades highlighted
- ✓Mill-to-mine and reserve-to-mine reconciliation, with daily grade and tonnage factors
- ✓Survey factoring for end-of-period reporting
- ✓Surveys stored as a factor on each relevant cycle, so raw data is never changed
- ✓Survey, truck factor and payload compared and trended over time
- ✓Interfaces to grade control packages, plus survey entry by pit, bench, stope or level
Daily reconciliation: mine-estimated and mill-measured tonnes and grade
Survey, stockpile and metal balance corrections applied along the flow
Stockpiles and product tracking
Follow every tonne from the mine block to the ship, with grades you can trust at month end.
- ✓Stockpile balances with FIFO, FILO or weighted average grades
- ✓The original mine block estimate tracked through the whole flow
- ✓Material and origin composition of every stockpile
- ✓Stockpile surveys and adjustments, each with a comment
- ✓Mine-to-mill reconciliation with Connected Process Performance
Stockpile composition by material and source block
Stockpile adjustments, each recorded with a comment
One validated number, from raw data to report
Raw data from every system is correlated, validated and run through your business rules before anyone reports on it.
Business rules and validation
Your rules are applied the same way at every site, so a tonne is a tonne everywhere.
Survey factoring
Surveys are stored as a factor on each relevant cycle, so raw data is never changed.
A genuinely global data model
Not constrained by language, time zone, unit of measure, currency, organisational structure or commodity.
Reporting your whole team trusts
Routine reports are automated, so your people move from building reports to analysing performance.
- ✓Plan vs actual and variance for movements, time and grade
- ✓Core, common and custom reports
- ✓Drill down to the most granular level of production and time data
- ✓Commentary on reports and dashboards, with actions attached
- ✓Dashboards built with Connected Data Analysis Services
- ✓Corporate reporting in Power BI, Fabric and Databricks with FactStream and StarStream
Connected Mine Performance FAQs
What is Connected Mine Performance?
Connected Mine Performance is the mining module of the Connected Mine platform. It brings production, drill and blast, geology, survey, consumables and maintenance data into one validated store and automates routine mine reporting.
Which fleet management systems does it connect to?
It interfaces with the most common fleet management systems, including Cat MineStar, Modular Dispatch, Wenco, Jigsaw and Pitram, with manual entry available for all production data.
Does it handle drill and blast data?
Yes. It records and reports drilling, hole accuracy, downhole data, explosives, blast design, shot summaries and broken stocks, compared with design and plan.
How does it handle survey reconciliation?
Surveys are stored as a factor on each relevant cycle, so raw data is never changed. Reports compare survey, truck factor and payload, and trend survey factors over time.
Can it track stockpiles?
Yes. Product tracking estimates stockpile tonnes and grades using FIFO, FILO or weighted average, and keeps the original mine block estimate through the flow.
How does it fit with the rest of Connected Mine?
It is one module of the Connected Mine platform. Pair it with Connected Process Performance for mine-to-mill reconciliation, and Connected Data Analysis Services for dashboards.
