    Caterpillar–RPMGlobal acquisition: integrated mine planning workflows for engineers

    Caterpillar–RPMGlobal acquisition: integrated mine planning workflows for engineers

    First reported on Australian Mining

    30 Second Briefing

    Caterpillar has completed its roughly $1.1 billion acquisition of mining software specialist RPMGlobal, adding mine planning, scheduling and simulation platforms such as XPAC, HAULSIM and TALPAC to its portfolio. The deal folds RPMGlobal’s cloud-based enterprise solutions for fleet management, maintenance and ESG reporting into Caterpillar’s MineStar ecosystem, tightening integration between OEM equipment data and planning tools. For engineers, this signals deeper OEM-backed digital workflows for haulage optimisation, drill-and-blast design and life-of-mine scheduling, with potential lock-in around Caterpillar machine data and interfaces.

    Technical Brief

    • Acquisition consolidates a major independent mine software vendor into an OEM-controlled technology stack.

    Our Take

    In our database of 30 Software stories, Caterpillar is one of the few OEMs repeatedly pairing hardware launches (e.g. the Cat 6015 and 6060 shovel updates) with software or autonomy moves, signalling a push to lock in end‑to‑end mine systems rather than just fleet supply.

    The RPMGlobal acquisition builds on Caterpillar’s recent presence in Australian projects such as Greatland Resources’ Telfer fleet upgrade, which is likely to make Australia a key test bed for tightly integrated Cat equipment–software deployments.

    With the deal framed as late‑2025 M&A, Caterpillar is positioning its mine planning and operations software stack ahead of the next capex cycle, which could give it leverage in bundled equipment–software contracts like the Turner Mining Group fleet mobilisation in Nevada.

    Carlson 2027 CAD suite: interoperability and drafting gains for mine planners

    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 Connect Scope 3 calculator: data and FCA-readiness notes for project teams

    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.

    Acquire EnviroSys–GIM Suite integration: workflow and QA gains for mine teams

    Acquire Technology Solutions has linked its Envirosys 9.5 environmental compliance platform with its GIM Suite geological data management system, creating a single workflow for drill hole, monitoring and location records. Environmental teams can now pull borehole IDs, collar coordinates and monitoring point locations directly from GIM Suite into Envirosys, reducing manual duplication and reconciliation. For mine operators, this should cut reporting errors in groundwater, dust and discharge datasets that rely on accurate spatial and geological references.
