    GBM Konect field management in Bendigo: practical lessons for asset engineers

    GBM Konect field management in Bendigo: practical lessons for asset engineers

    First reported on Roads & Infrastructure (AU)

    30 Second Briefing

    City of Bendigo’s Coordinator GIS & Asset Information, Paul Nicholson, is deploying GBM Konect, a mobile field management app, to overhaul how road and drainage assets are captured and maintained in the field. Konect’s flexible data model allows crews to map linear assets, attach photos and condition data offline, and sync directly to the council’s central GIS rather than relying on point-only, office-based systems. For civil and asset engineers, this means faster defect logging, fewer data transcription errors, and more reliable spatial information for pavement and drainage renewal planning.

    Technical Brief

    • Konect was selected after benchmarking “a few different systems” for GIS field data capture flexibility.
    • Similar councils with dispersed road networks and legacy GIS can replicate this approach without replacing core systems.

    Our Take

    With only a handful of Software stories in our coverage, GBM Konect’s field management focus stands out against a portfolio that is otherwise dominated by physical project delivery rather than digital tooling.

    Most of the 71 tag-matched ‘Projects’ pieces centre on construction and infrastructure outcomes in Australia, so a software-led case involving the City of Bendigo signals that local councils are becoming early adopters of structured field-data platforms rather than relying solely on contractors’ systems.

    Featuring a named practitioner like Paul Nicholson alongside GBM Konect aligns with a pattern in our database where software uptake in Australian infrastructure is driven less by central IT and more by project managers seeking auditability and real-time visibility on dispersed worksites.

    Sumitomo and NEC AI near-miss analysis: safety and data lessons for site engineers

    Sumitomo Heavy Industries and NEC are jointly developing an AI and computer vision system that uses camera feeds from hydraulic excavators and SHI’s SHICuTe ICT/IoT platform data to automatically detect “risk scenes” and generate structured near-miss reports. NEC’s 2023 video recognition and generative AI technology, previously used for road traffic accident analysis, will fuse time- and location-stamped video with machine operating logs as multimodal data to characterise hazardous and prohibited behaviours. Following a successful proof of concept in September 2025, full development starts April 2026, with global deployment targeted for broader construction-site safety management.

    Datamine–Mineware acquisitions: integrated mine management explained for engineers

    Datamine has acquired Mineware Africa and Mineware Consulting to expand its mine management software suite and in‑house advisory capability across exploration, resource modelling, mine planning and operations control. The deal adds Mineware’s production accounting, dispatch and short-interval control tools, along with its implementation consultants, into Datamine’s existing end-to-end digital mining platform. For engineers, the move signals tighter integration between planning, fleet management and production data, potentially simplifying brownfield system upgrades and multi-site standardisation.

    Deswik’s Indonesia expansion: mine planning implementation insights for engineers

    Deswik has opened a new office in Jakarta, Indonesia, backed by a local consulting team to support deployment of its mine planning and scheduling software across the country’s open-pit and underground operations. The company will host Deswik Exchange Jakarta on 16 April to showcase practical workflows and case studies drawn from real‑world mining projects. A permanent in‑country team should shorten implementation cycles, improve on‑site training and support, and allow closer integration of Deswik tools with Indonesian regulatory, geotechnical and production planning requirements.
