Mackay, the Bowen Basin and Central Queensland
AI consulting for Mackay and the Bowen Basin
AI consulting for Bowen Basin mines and Mackay METS firms: Ampla, delay accounting and production numbers that reconcile across every system.
What we work on around Mackay
Bowen Basin coal operations
Delay accounting and reason code trees that have drifted from how the plant runs.
METS and heavy fabrication
Service firms where quotes sit for days and job data is retyped between systems.
Production reconciliation
Weighbridge, SCADA, historian, production system and ERP agreeing on the same tonnage.
Port and rail interfaces
Mine production lined up with what the terminal recorded, and when each tonne was counted.
Sugar milling
Reporting that has to survive a short crush season with nobody free to nurse it.
Ampla and delay accounting
Reason codes accumulate, the tree stops matching the plant and operators pick the nearest option. The fix is mostly analysis: what operators actually select, which codes are unused and which distinctions anyone downstream acts on. None of it touches production.
- Delay accounting review

How we work with Central Queensland sites
Scope
A focused first assessment at a fixed fee, agreed after a call with your site team.
On site when it helps
Walking the plant to check reason codes match what operators do.
Remote between visits
Most historian, Ampla and reporting work needs no site visit.
Ongoing support
Upkeep for systems whose original vendor has moved on.
Questions
What can AI do for Bowen Basin coal mines?
AI can help classify delays against a cleaned-up reason code tree, flag production figures that disagree between systems and draft shift reports from historian data. We work with Bowen Basin operations and Mackay METS firms, starting with the delay and tonnage data people argue about most.
Do you support Ampla in the Bowen Basin?
Yes. Solve8 picks up reason code trees that no longer match how the plant runs, downtime that does not reconcile with the historian, and reports that stopped being trusted.
Can Mackay METS firms automate quoting and job paperwork?
Yes. AI can read customer requests, drawings and job sheets, draft quotes from your rates and past jobs, and move job data into your ERP without retyping. A person approves every quote before it goes to a mine site.
Can you reconcile production numbers between systems?
Yes. The work is establishing where each figure comes from, when it is captured and which one is the record for which purpose. Most of it is agreeing definitions.
Can automation help Mackay sugar mills through the crush season?
Yes. Data collection and reporting can be automated before the crush starts, so cane receivals, mill performance and grower figures arrive on schedule without anyone nursing spreadsheets through the season. We build and test in the slack season, when staff have time to review it.
