What drives us each day

Timeline & Milestones

Vision


Our mission is to re-imagine the value chain. We have a platform investment history of over 10 years and has been at the forefront of innovation. By reconceptualising the entire value chain, our customers can attain outstanding returns on investment (ROI).


Mission


The Simbio platform is the means by which we deliver on our mission with Safety, Productivity and Profitability as the primary outcomes for our customers. We leverage technology in practical ways to achieve this, while supporting compliance and ensuring a productive workday. We constantly experiment to find the best and most effective ways to interact with operators, engineers, shift supervisors and mine owners.

We strive to make people's lives safer and easier


Safety is the foundation of our mindset. We leverage technology to achieve this objective, while supporting compliance and ensuring a productive workday. We constantly experiment to find the best and most effective ways to interact with operators, engineers and shift supervisors.

Recently, we enhanced this commitment with the launch of the Pulse QOD (Question of the Day) feature, which explores the human element more deeply — gathering insights into the sentiment, feelings and perceptions of the workforce.

The journey is with data


Our journey started with data, and we strive to ensure how this can drive better decision making and actionable insights. This has a direct impact on a mine’s performance and generates substantial Return on Investment (ROI) for each of our products.

The new frontier


The next frontier is firmly in the realm of Sensors, Automation, Machines and AI. We are investing heavily in new products that leverage this game-changing technology.
