Haultrax is launching HX Coach at IMARC 2026 as a new capability within its Haultrax Fleet Management platform, embedding on-site operational coaching directly into the fleet management workflow. The system is designed to translate 15+ years of haulage optimisation, operator training and shift‑by‑shift coaching into in‑cab and control room decision support, rather than relying solely on external consultants. For mine operators, this signals fleet productivity and compliance improvements driven by software-configured coaching rules instead of ad hoc manual interventions.

Carlson Software has released its 2027 CAD suite for Survey, Civil, Hydrology, GIS, Mining and Point Cloud, built on IntelliCAD 14.1 and fully compatible with AutoCAD 2027. The update adds native CAD tables, expanded point cloud handling and mining-specific drafting tools aimed at faster layout of pits, stopes and haul roads. For mine planners and geotechnical teams, the key gains are smoother data exchange with existing DWG workflows and reduced rework between survey, design and hydrology models.

Travis Perkins has launched Connect, a Scope 3 carbon calculator that assigns CO2e values to more than 120,000 products by mapping material weights in tonnes and kilograms and using manufacturer EPDs or recognised industry datasets. The tool, designed by a CCF-led team under Phil Monkman, automatically converts delivery and invoice data into auditable, report-ready embodied carbon figures, replacing manual entry of up to 3,000 data points per month for some subcontractors. Roll-out across Travis Perkins, CCF, Keyline, BSS and Managed Services targets upcoming FCA disclosure rules from 2027–28, reducing reliance on estimates that can be up to 60% inaccurate.
