Artificial intelligence developers Vivox AI and beSirius have formed a partnership to combine operational evidence assessments with financial crime screening for suppliers across the metals and minerals value chain, from mine sites and refineries to traders and manufacturers. beSirius AI evaluates existing supplier documentation against industry standards and company requirements, generating source-linked assessments and tracking corrective actions, while Vivox AI’s explainable agents analyse sanctions alerts, adverse media and complex multi-jurisdictional ownership structures with a full audit trail. The integrated workflow is aimed at cutting repeated document requests and manual screening time, while keeping procurement and compliance teams as final decision-makers.

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.
