Deswik has added full Turkish language support to its Deswik.Spatial end-to-end CAD mine planning package, allowing engineers and surveyors in Türkiye to work entirely in their native language interface. The localisation covers menus, commands and help content, aiming to cut onboarding and training time for Turkish-speaking open-pit and underground planning teams. For operations standardising on Deswik’s integrated suite, this should reduce translation errors in design workflows and improve adoption of advanced tools such as 3D solids modelling and automated pit/stoping layouts.

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.
