Requirements
Which requirements shape mining software development?
Mining software works in harsh, remote, safety-critical environments: sites have limited connectivity, operational systems must stay isolated, safety and environmental records carry regulatory weight, and equipment downtime is measured in five-figure hourly costs.
| Requirement | What it means here | How FISTA builds to it |
|---|---|---|
| Remote sites | Connectivity is limited, expensive, or intermittent. | Edge buffering and local-first applications, bandwidth-aware sync, and degraded modes that keep operations moving. |
| OT isolation | Control and dispatch systems must not be exposed. | Read-only data acquisition through historians, one-way boundaries, and no write access from analytics or AI components. |
| Safety records | Incidents and inspections carry legal and regulatory weight. | Immutable records, mandatory-field enforcement, escalation workflows, and exportable evidence per incident and period. |
| Environmental reporting | Monitoring data is disclosed to regulators and stakeholders. | Full lineage from sensor or sample to report figure, with correction history and re-statement handling. |
| Equipment criticality | Unplanned downtime is extremely expensive. | Condition data pipelines, maintenance planning with risk ranking, and alerting tuned against real failure history rather than defaults. |
Where AI fits
Where do AI agents fit in mining & resources?
AI agents fit mining in documentation and triage: drafting operational and regulatory reports from source data, triaging and enriching incident reports, extracting supplier and laboratory documents, and answering maintenance history questions. Operational and safety decisions remain with site leadership.
- 01
Report drafting agent
Assembles routine operational and compliance reports from source data with every figure traceable to its record.
- 02
Incident triage agent
Classifies reports, retrieves similar prior incidents and actions, and proposes the investigation path for safety leadership.
- 03
Document extraction agent
Turns supplier, assay, and inspection documents into structured records tied to equipment, samples, and locations.
- 04
Maintenance history agent
Answers technician and planner questions from work order history and manuals with citations to the source record.
- 05
Environmental exception agent
Flags monitoring anomalies against thresholds and history, and assembles the context an environmental officer needs.
Cost and timeline
How much does mining software development cost, and how long does it take?
Cost is driven by site count, connectivity constraints, and integration with operational systems; timeline by site access windows and safety induction requirements. FISTA does not quote blind: the scoping call returns a specification and a phased estimate.
Connectivity architecture is the first decision. Sites with satellite links or intermittent coverage need edge processing and bandwidth-aware synchronization, which is a different design from a cloud-first application. FISTA settles that architecture in discovery because retrofitting it later means rewriting the data layer.
Site access governs delivery. Inductions, shutdown windows, and rotation schedules constrain when work can be validated on site. FISTA plans releases around those windows so testing happens in real conditions without waiting months for the next opportunity.
Send the scope you have, even if it is a paragraph. You get a written brief, an architecture sketch, and a phased estimate before any commitment.

How does FISTA deliver an industry software project?
FISTA delivers in four gated phases: a discovery sprint that produces the specification and integration map, an architecture and compliance design that names every control, iterative builds demoed weekly on your environment, and a verified release with runbooks, monitoring, and a handover or a managed operations option.
- 1
Discover and specify
Stakeholder interviews, system inventory, data classification, and a written specification with acceptance criteria and a phased plan.
OutputSpecification, integration map, estimate
- 2
Design for compliance
Architecture, data model, security controls, and the evidence plan for any audit, agreed before the first sprint.
OutputArchitecture decision record, control matrix
- 3
Build and demonstrate
Two-week sprints with automated tests, contract tests on integrations, and a demo on your environment every week.
OutputWorking increments in your repository
- 4
Verify and operate
Load, security, and acceptance testing against the spec; release with runbooks, dashboards, and alerting; optional managed operations.
OutputVerified release, runbooks, SLOs
Why FISTA

Clear answers
What buyers in this industry ask first.
Straightforward guidance for evaluating scope, fit, and the next step.
01Can software work at sites with satellite or intermittent connectivity?
Yes, with a local-first architecture: edge buffering, local processing, and bandwidth-aware synchronization that prioritizes safety-critical data. This is an architectural decision made in discovery, because it cannot be retrofitted cheaply.
02Will anything you build touch dispatch or control systems?
No. Data is acquired read-only through historians and reporting interfaces, with one-way boundaries documented in the architecture so your OT and safety teams can verify there is no control path.
03Can you support our safety and environmental reporting obligations?
Yes. Records are immutable with mandatory fields and escalation, environmental figures carry lineage from sensor or sample to report, and corrections are recorded rather than overwritten, producing exportable evidence for regulators.
04Can AI write our compliance reports?
Agents draft reports from source data with every figure traceable to its record, and the responsible officer reviews and signs. The agent accelerates assembly; accountability for the submission stays with your people.
05Do you integrate with fleet management and maintenance systems?
Yes, through their supported interfaces, consolidating production, fleet, plant, and maintenance data into views that reconcile rather than contradict each other.
06How long does a mining software project take?
A focused visibility, safety, or maintenance release typically takes a few months, with site access windows, inductions, and connectivity architecture as the usual gating items. Discovery plans around them.
