Kilmac has standardised its survey operations on Trimble, buying six SPS720 total stations, six R780 GNSS rovers and six TSC710 data collectors with Siteworks from Sitech to complement its existing on-machine systems. The fully connected Trimble Civil Construction Technology ecosystem, managed through Trimble Business Centre and Works Manager, links office, field and plant for precision earthmoving and reduced rework on multi-phase civils and groundworks. The setup is already deployed on the £76m Clackmannanshire Wellbeing Hub and Lochies school project in Scotland, due to complete in late 2027.

Workday has released Workday Learning, powered by Sana, an AI-native training platform that combines Workday’s existing HR and skills datasets with Sana’s generative tools to personalise learning pathways for mining workforces. The system can auto-generate course content, assessments and microlearning from existing policies, SOPs and technical documents, while tracking role-specific competencies such as equipment operation, safety procedures and regulatory compliance. For mine operators, this offers a way to standardise training across sites, shorten onboarding and keep skills matrices current without manual content development.

Datamine has released 2026 upgrades across its mining software suite, tightening data flow between exploration, geology, mine planning, laboratory information management and production control. Key advances include deeper integration between Studio RM resource modelling, Studio OP/UG mine design, Fusion LIMS and the Minemax scheduler, plus improved interoperability with fleet management and plant control systems via standardised APIs. For engineers, the changes aim to cut manual data handling in block model updates, short-interval control and grade reconciliation, and to support more consistent multi-mine planning workflows.
