BCMMINING TECHNOLOGY
Timmins, Ontario · Serving producing mines everywhere
BCM Mining Technology builds equipment health and telemetry platforms, live dashboards, enterprise GIS, data pipelines, automation, and AI monitoring for mining operations. Delivered in weeks, not quarters, by someone who has run mine control.

Built on the systems your mine already runs
Results
Every figure below comes from a platform running on a producing operation. They describe what the systems do rather than what the operation produces, because a single site cannot be meaningfully anonymised and its production numbers are not ours to publish.
One worth stating in full: an entire haul truck fleet was found to be ingesting empty, every counter zero, because its onboard files used an older Caterpillar format with no public documentation. Decoding it from sample files recovered the fleet's history and brought it into the same database as the rest. That is the kind of problem that stays invisible until somebody goes looking, and it is why the platform monitors its own data freshness.
What we build
Most operations would split this work across a GIS developer, a data engineer, a BI developer, and an AI vendor. BCM delivers all four with the operational context of someone who has run mine dispatch, built custom Python programs, automated daily workflows, and trained the people who use the systems every shift.
Event-driven workflows that watch your operation and act: Teams and email alerts for extended delays, equipment down events, crusher feed interruptions, and production shortfalls.
Enterprise GIS stacks built on QGIS, GeoServer, and PostGIS with real-time equipment tracking, current orthomosaics, CAD overlays, and mobile field tools.
ETL pipelines that consolidate fleet, historian, survey, and GPS data into a governed SQL warehouse feeding dashboards that operations teams actually use.
Inference that runs on your own hardware rather than a vendor cloud: live camera pipelines, and advisories that compare every route, machine and face against its own operating history.
In production
Not mockups. These systems run a producing operation today: a live fleet map over a fresh orthomosaic, a shift dashboard the control room keeps open all day, and alerts that land in Teams while there is still time to act. Misrouted dumps are caught the moment they happen, and meal-delay compliance is summarized for supervisors at end of shift.
Screenshots from production systems. Site identifiers, serial numbers, and personnel details have been altered.
A running instance of all four platforms, around the clock, on a synthetic mine: SIC · This Shift, the Live Mine Map, the 3D Digital Twin, and the Dashboard Map. No form, no account. The data is made up, because our clients' data never leaves their site. That is the same promise you would get.
The BCM model
Most mining software charges you rent for permission to use it, then keeps your data on the wrong side of the login. BCM works the other way around. The tooling is open source, so there is no licence to buy and no per-seat cost. What you subscribe to is the capability: the platform run, monitored, and continuously fitted to the operation as the pit, the fleet, and the reporting change. Your data is yours unconditionally and it never leaves your servers.
Every byte of operational data, every database, and every report lives on your infrastructure and belongs unconditionally to your operation. Nothing is uploaded to a vendor cloud. Nothing is metered.
The tooling is open source, so there is nothing to license and no per-seat charge. Unlimited users at your site. The subscription is not a maintenance add-on bolted to a finished product, it is the product: an operated platform that keeps pace with the operation instead of ageing from the day it lands.
The full stack runs on a single on-premise server on commodity hardware. No cloud dependency, no phone-home licensing, and everything keeps working when the internet link does not.
Integrates read-only with Cat Minestar, Wenco, Hexagon Jigsaw, and OEM telemetry without disturbing them, and without asking anyone's permission to look at your own data.
Platforms
Seven platforms with a full write-up, each running on a producing operation today. Every one started as a problem somebody brought to the dispatch office.
Two Caterpillar binary formats decoded into a site-owned database: classified events, per-machine dashboards, operator attribution, and full replay of any machine for any hour.
Explore the platform →Positions on a two second loop, orthomosaics, design overlays, ore blocks, restricted areas, and field data collection, on one URL with no per-seat licence.
Explore the platform →One governed warehouse where the shift calendar, rehandle and coordinates are settled, so every report downstream agrees. Includes dashboard sprints.
Explore the platform →Delays, equipment state, crusher feed, break compliance and shift summaries, delivered to Teams or Webex and engineered so the channel does not get muted.
Explore the platform →Baseline-relative advisories per route, machine and face, with effect size, sample count and confidence. Local models, nothing leaves the property.
Explore the platform →Four independent layers checking every dump against the block model and the destination configuration, with the ore-to-waste override that always speaks.
Explore the platform →Imagery to published layer unattended: photogrammetry on your GPU, placed on the site control network in every grid the pit carries.

Engagement estimator
Pick a platform base and the modules your operation runs, set your fleet size, and see the implementation figure and the monthly subscription. No form, no obligation, and no waiting on a quote.
How engagements work
A focused review of how your operation captures, moves, and uses data across fleet systems, historian data, GIS, reporting, and daily workflows. 25 percent of any assessment fee is credited against a build engaged within six months.
How assessments work →Fixed-scope platform builds delivered in weeks. Dashboards, GIS, warehousing, automation, and AI monitoring deployed on practical site infrastructure.
A monthly subscription keeps the platform running, monitored, patched, and improving as the operation changes. It is the ongoing capability, not an add-on.
Continuity
Senior specialist-led delivery is why a platform reaches production in weeks rather than quarters, and it is a fair thing for a maintenance planner or IT manager to ask about before signing a recurring commitment. The answer is not that your team could run it alone. It is that an interruption is never an outage: the platform has no licence check and no vendor callback, source sits in escrow against defined triggers, and response windows, escalation and exit terms are written into every agreement rather than offered as reassurance.
About
BCM Mining Technology was founded by Bernard Carl Mathew, a mining professional with twenty years in mining operations who has worked everywhere from the leach plant to running the fleet management system. Along the way that has meant surveying, drill and blast design, mine planning support, production reporting, dispatch, GIS, automation, and operational technology at a producing gold mine in Timmins, Ontario.
That operational background changes how technology gets built. Every dashboard, map, automation, and AI solution is designed around the challenges faced by dispatchers, supervisors, engineers, and operations teams every day. Rather than creating software that simply looks impressive in a demonstration, BCM develops practical systems that improve decision-making, eliminate manual work, increase operational visibility, and deliver measurable value in the field.
Technology is most valuable when it solves real operational problems. Every solution we develop begins with the workflow, not the software.
