BCMMINING TECHNOLOGY
Timmins, Ontario · Serving producing mines everywhere
BCM Mining Technology builds live dashboards, enterprise GIS, data pipelines, automation, and AI monitoring for open pit operations — delivered in weeks, not quarters, by someone who has run mine control.
Built on the systems your mine already runs
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 to take the burden out of daily processes, and trained the people who work the systems every shift.
Event-driven workflows that watch your operation and act: Microsoft Teams and email alerts for extended delays, equipment down events, crusher feed interruptions, and production shortfalls — plus automated shift summaries that write themselves.
A live map the whole operation works from. Enterprise GIS stacks built on QGIS, GeoServer, and PostGIS with real-time equipment tracking, current orthomosaics, CAD design overlays, and mobile field data collection that syncs from the pit.
One trusted source of production truth. ETL pipelines that consolidate Minestar, PI Historian, Surface Manager, and GPS data into a governed SQL warehouse — feeding Power BI and Grafana dashboards your foremen actually use.
Industrial vision systems that watch what people can't. Edge-deployed AI for shovel tooth and shroud monitoring, fragmentation analysis, and oversize detection — built on industrial cameras and NVIDIA edge hardware, alerting dispatch in real time.
Platforms
Every platform below started as a real operational problem at a producing mine — and ended as a system running on site, on shift, today.
PostGIS, GeoServer, QGIS, and QField deployed on your infrastructure. Live equipment positions, fresh orthomosaics, DXF design overlays, restricted areas — from the dispatch office to a tablet on a bench.
ETL pipelines that consolidate fleet, historian, survey, and GPS data into a governed Microsoft SQL Server warehouse with automated shift and daily reporting — replacing spreadsheet compilation for good.
Shovel tooth, shroud, and fragmentation monitoring on edge AI hardware, integrated with dispatch alerting. A missing tooth becomes a Teams message in seconds — not a crusher shutdown next week.
Delay alerts, equipment state changes, crusher feed interruptions, shift summaries — pushed to the right people while there's still time to act, not in tomorrow's report.
Power BI or Grafana dashboards built directly on your existing Minestar and PI Historian data. Production, payload, utilization, delays, crusher feed — designed with the people who will use them.
Upload, GeoTIFF processing, coordinate correction, raster optimization, and automatic publishing to your GIS. Fresh imagery from drone landing to every screen on site in hours, not days.
How engagements work
A 1–2 week on-site review of how your operation captures, moves, and uses data — fleet management, historian, GIS, reporting, and the manual effort hiding in spreadsheets. You get a written roadmap with costs, priorities, and quick wins.
Fixed-price platform builds delivered in weeks. Dashboards, GIS, warehousing, automation, AI monitoring — designed with your dispatchers, foremen, and superintendents, deployed on your infrastructure, documented and handed over.
Monthly retainers with included hours keep every system healthy, monitored, and improving — on-call support, updates, and minor enhancements, with new features quoted as fixed-price projects. No surprise invoices.
About
BCM Mining Technology was founded by Bernard Carl Mathew, a mine control supervisor with over a decade in open pit mining — from surveying and drill & blast design to leading dispatch operations at a producing mine in Timmins, Ontario.
That background changes how systems get built. Every dashboard, map, and alert BCM delivers is shaped by the questions a dispatcher, foreman, or superintendent actually asks at 6 a.m. on day shift — not by what looks good in a vendor demo.
