    Hitachi smart, safe and synced: mixed-fleet autonomy insights for project engineers

    First reported on Roads & Infrastructure (AU)

    30 Second Briefing

    Bell Equipment is rolling out an agnostic safety and autonomy platform across its articulated dump trucks and motor graders, built around its Fleetm@tic telematics system for real-time machine monitoring and control. The integrated package links collision avoidance, stability control and production tracking into a single interface, allowing mixed-fleet operations rather than locking contractors into one OEM ecosystem. For civil and mining earthworks, this enables tighter haul cycle management, better utilisation data and more consistent operator behaviour on large road and infrastructure projects.

    Technical Brief

    • Wider adoption of agnostic telematics platforms could standardise machine-safety data formats across contractors and hire fleets.

    Our Take

    Hitachi’s software-focused coverage in Australia sits alongside only a small cluster of other ‘Software’ items in our database, signalling that digital fleet and safety systems are still a niche but emerging theme compared with heavy equipment stories.

    Bell Equipment’s appearance in a software and safety context suggests OEMs in Australia are increasingly expected to bundle digital control, monitoring and incident-prevention tools with machinery, rather than leaving this to third‑party integrators.

    Within the 15 tag-matched ‘Product / Safety / Projects’ pieces, most Australian items emphasise compliance and site-wide integration, so any Hitachi solution highlighted here is likely to be evaluated by contractors as much for ease of deployment across mixed fleets as for its core functionality.

    GeoStudio deep well dewatering example: design and stability insights for engineers

    Dewatering design for a deep well system is modelled in GeoStudio using SEEP/W to simulate transient drawdown and quantify inflow to an excavation, with wells arranged around the perimeter and pumped to lower the groundwater table below formation level. The example compares different pumping rates and well spacings, showing effects on pore water pressures, hydraulic gradients and potential instability in adjacent slopes and structures. For practitioners, it illustrates how to test alternative layouts and pumping schedules numerically before committing to well installation on site.

    Eclipse SourceOne EKPS upgrade and rebrand: data integration notes for mine engineers

    Eclipse Mining Technologies is rebranding and releasing a major upgrade of its SourceOne® Enterprise Knowledge Performance System (EKPS) to push AI-enabled decision support beyond mining into other large-scale industries. The new SourceOne release is positioned to integrate operational, planning and maintenance data into a single knowledge layer, aiming to make AI models more auditable and practical for site engineers and managers. For mine operators, this signals tighter linkage between short-interval control, fleet and plant data, and future cross-industry benchmarking on a common EKPS platform.

    Schneider Electric EcoStruxure Foxboro DCS: modernisation takeaways for mine control engineers

    Schneider Electric has launched EcoStruxure Foxboro Software Defined Automation, billed as the first open, software‑defined Distributed Control System, combining its long‑running Foxboro DCS platform with a virtualised, hardware‑agnostic control layer. The system is aimed at hybrid and process industries, including mining, to decouple control applications from proprietary controllers and run them on standard IT infrastructure. For brownfield plants with legacy Foxboro I/A hardware, this architecture offers a staged path to modernisation, remote operations and tighter integration with existing MES and historian systems.
