AM SQUARED assists mining operations in taking control of the layer nobody wants to own – the reconciliation between drilling, processing, maintenance and finance data that determines whether a mine is moving toward the top or bottom of the cost-per ton curve.

There is a surfeit of data available in mining operations. However, it is often spread across divisions, making data collation and analysis complex and time-consuming and leading to key operational decisions informed by incomplete or inconsistent information.

AM SQUARED identifies the margin already lost inside that layer, removes the barriers between systems across the value chain, and puts the savings recovered to work funding the programme itself, removing the need for additional budget. 

Closing the Gap

As a mining-focused data, integration and digital operations partner, AM SQUARED helps connect existing systems, improve visibility and establish a foundation for operational decision-making. Combining strategic advisory services with hands-on implementation, AM SQUARED helps identify problems and deliver working solutions.

The company’s source-agnostic architecture, engineered primarily on Microsoft Azure, integrates data from any source using its MiX integration technologies. 

The result is a governed operational data foundation that supports real-time business applications across two connected paths, namely:

• Advanced analytics, encompassing an enterprise asset management module, advance process controls and a supply chain module.
• Tailored solutions, including drilling and blasting, ore tracking, fleet analytics, run-of-mine analytics, production performance, metal accounting and cost analytics. Together, these two applications produce a repeatable, predictable operation. For mines, this means less manual reconciliation, shorter reporting cycles, improved production and maintenance information, faster identification of operational losses, and a clearer operational overview.

AM SQUARED’s ‘Connected Mine Growth Journey’ focusses on four stages: foundation, visibility, optimisation and digital transformation, delivering measurable value at each stage before the next investment. This allows customers to scale up as value is proven. Headquartered in Johannesburg with international offices in the UK and New Zealand, AM SQUARED has proven it’s success at scale on multiple Tier 1 Operators. 

The philosophy is simple: connect what already exists, create trust in the data, prove value early, and build digital operations.
