Question 1

How does Solve8 work with Perth mining and resources companies?

Accepted Answer

Our principal consultant spent years implementing enterprise systems on BHP and Rio Tinto projects with previous consulting employers, so we understand the unique challenges of the mining sector. We specialise in automating compliance reporting, safety documentation, maintenance scheduling, and integrating data from remote mine sites. We work with companies across the Pilbara, Goldfields, and metropolitan Perth, delivering solutions that handle the complexity of FIFO operations and multi-site coordination.

Question 2

Can you support FIFO and remote operations in WA?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. We design AI solutions specifically for remote and FIFO operations. This includes offline-capable systems for mine sites with limited connectivity, automated shift handover documentation, real-time data synchronisation when crews return to connected areas, and integration with existing mine management systems. Our experience with Pilbara operations means we understand the infrastructure constraints of remote WA.

Question 3

What does AI consulting cost in Perth and Western Australia?

Accepted Answer

Our consulting rates are competitive with Perth market rates, typically ranging from $2,000 to $5,000 for initial strategy sessions. Implementation projects for mining and resources companies typically start from $15,000 for focused automation projects. We offer fixed-price engagements for defined scopes, which is preferred by many WA resources companies for budget certainty. Contact us for a detailed quote based on your specific requirements.

Question 4

How do you work with Perth clients if you are based in Queensland?

Accepted Answer

We serve Perth clients through a combination of remote collaboration and on-site visits for major engagements. Video conferencing handles most day-to-day work effectively, and we travel to Perth for workshops, discovery sessions, and critical implementation phases. Many of our mining clients actually prefer this model as it reduces the overhead of having consultants on-site continuously while still providing hands-on support when needed.

Question 5

How do you handle data sovereignty for WA mining companies?

Accepted Answer

Data sovereignty is critical for mining companies, especially those with government contracts or sensitive exploration data. We deploy AI solutions on Australian-hosted infrastructure (AWS Sydney or Azure Australia regions), and can implement fully on-premise solutions for companies requiring complete data isolation. All data processing stays within Australia, and we can configure systems to meet specific contractual requirements around data residency and security classification.

Question 6

What AI solutions are most valuable for Perth resources companies?

Accepted Answer

Our principal consultant spent 18 years on resources projects for BHP, Rio Tinto and Senex Energy, gained while working with previous consulting employers. In that setting the applications that repay the effort soonest are automated regulatory compliance reporting, predictive maintenance on heavy equipment where unplanned downtime is the dominant cost, document processing for geological reports and contracts, and integration between systems that do not currently talk to each other across mine sites. Safety incident reporting and HSE documentation are usually the easiest place to start, because the current process is well understood and the output is already defined.
