Mining & resources — Smarterapps Ai
Mining & Resources AI Apps
Safety, operations, maintenance and field apps for Australian mining and resources — practical AI that works on site and in the office.
What we build
Field software built for remote operations.
Mining and resources sites need tools that survive dust, distance and shift change. We build apps operators trust and AI that surfaces risk early.
01 — Field
Job cards, permits, inspections and handover notes that work offline and sync when coverage returns.
02 — Safety
Safety & Compliance
Pre-starts, observations, incidents and fatigue workflows with clear escalation paths.
03 — Maintenance
Work orders informed by equipment data and history, with planners making the final call.
04 — Ops
Operations Visibility
Live status across plant, fleet and contractors with AI summaries of exceptions.
05 — Documents
Document & Procedure AI
Find and apply the right procedure fast; turn site notes into structured records.
06 — Integration
Systems Integration
Connect ERP, maintenance, HSE and contractor systems through secure APIs.
The AI slant
AI that respects site reality.
Work offline first. Field apps designed for remote sites, then sync when the network returns.
Flag risk early. Anomaly and trend detection that helps supervisors act before incidents escalate.
Cut paperwork. AI structures notes, permits and inspections so data is entered once.
People stay in charge. AI advises; supervisors and engineers decide.
Technology
The stack behind the AI.
We choose proven, well-supported technology for each mining and resources project — native or cross-platform mobile, modern backends, cloud infrastructure and the latest AI models. See our full range of services.
01 — Mobile
Native iOS & Android
Swift and Kotlin apps built for performance, device features and long-term maintainability.
02 — Cross-platform
React Native
One shared codebase for iOS and Android when speed to market and budget matter most.
03 — Backend
Python & Node.js
Secure APIs, data pipelines and integrations — Python for AI and data work, Node.js for fast, scalable services.
04 — Cloud
AWS & Cloud
Scalable, monitored infrastructure on AWS and other major clouds, with Australian hosting regions available.
05 — LLMs
GPT-class and other large language models, grounded in your data with retrieval, guardrails and cost controls.
06 — Automation
Automation & AI Agents
Workflow automation and AI agents that take on multi-step tasks across your systems, with people approving key actions.
How we work
From idea to AI in production.
A staged, transparent process keeps risk low and value visible at every step.
Step 01
Discover
We map your workflows, data and constraints to find the AI opportunities with the clearest return.
Step 02
Prove
A focused prototype or proof of concept tests accuracy, cost and user experience before you commit to a full build.
Step 03
Build & integrate
Production-grade iOS, Android and web development, security, testing and integration with your existing systems.
Step 04
Launch & improve
Monitoring, support and ongoing tuning as your data, users and needs change.
Why Smarterapps Ai
Australian engineering. Practical AI.
Resources companies need technology partners who understand isolation, safety culture and contractor complexity. We deliver rugged apps and practical AI for Australian sites.
Since 2010 we have designed, built and supported apps and platforms for Australian startups, SMEs, enterprises and public-sector teams. Read more about us, or meet our AI developers.
You work directly with our strategists, designers and engineers, you own your source code, and we stay on after launch to support, secure and improve what we ship.

FAQs
Common questions.
Do your apps work without reliable mobile coverage?
Yes. Offline-first design is standard for remote mining and resources deployments.
Can you integrate with our ERP and HSE systems?
Usually. We integrate with maintenance, ERP and safety platforms through their APIs.
How do you approach safety-critical AI?
We use AI for detection, prioritisation and documentation support — not unsupervised control of critical plant.
Do you serve FIFO and remote camps?
Yes. We design for distributed crews and contractors across Australian operations.
How long does a mining app take?
A focused first release typically takes three to nine months depending on integrations and sites.
Will we own the software?
Yes. On completion and final payment you own the source code and related assets.
