Industry deep dive

Mining + quarry, honestly scoped.

MSHA cert tracking, blast logs, payload-aware haul cycles, and the maintenance + tool tracking that keeps the pit moving. We don't replace MSHA reporting outright — but we capture the source data your safety officer needs to file.

The pit loop

Six roles, six rhythms.

  1. Operator (haul truck)Pre-shift
    • Scan QR on the cab → log-hours screen pre-fills the asset.
    • Pre-trip checklist (PASS / FAIL / NA per item) — FAIL items raise yellow flags.
    • Confirm operator certifications still valid (MSHA Part 46 / Part 48 surface mining cert).
  2. Operator (haul truck)During shift
    • Each load logged as a HaulCycle: load location, dump location, tonnage, material, distance.
    • Cycle times feed productivity reports without anyone counting trips on a tally sheet.
  3. Blast techBlast event
    • Open Blast Logs → New blast.
    • Capture: occurred-at, location, charge type (ANFO / emulsion / watergel), kg quantity, conducted-by, permit reference.
    • Vibration PPV + airblast dB if monitored.
  4. MechanicDaily queue review
    • Open /work-orders → status / priority sort.
    • Cost-spike anomaly flags surface separately from PM flags — high-wear haul trucks are the obvious offenders.
    • Tool tracking shows which torque wrenches are out with which tech across the pit.
  5. Safety officerIncident
    • Report incident: kind (INJURY / NEAR_MISS / PROPERTY_DAMAGE / ENVIRONMENTAL), severity, MSHA-recordable flag, corrective actions.
    • OSHA Form 300 export at year-end straight from /api/export/osha300.
  6. Mine managerWeekly + monthly
    • Pull cost-per-hour leaderboard for the haul-truck class.
    • Decide rebuild / retire on units above class median.
    • Review blast-log cadence + tonnage; cross-reference against permits.

Mining-specific support

What we built for this market.

  • BlastLog model: occurredAt, location, chargeType, chargeQuantityKg, conductedBy, permit reference, vibration PPV, airblast dB.
  • HaulCycle model: load + dump GPS, material, tonnage, distance, cycle duration. Drives productivity dashboards without trip counters.
  • OperatorCertification supports MSHA Part 46 (surface) + MSHA Part 48 (underground) as first-class enum values; expiry banners 60 days out.
  • Incident module's `oshaRecordable` flag drives the Form 300 export. MSHA-side reporting (Form 7000-1) is on the roadmap.
  • Tool tracking handles the field-side torque wrenches, breaker bars, hammer drills that walk off without scan-out discipline.
  • One flat $199/month organization subscription on the standard plan — a 40-ton haul truck and a portable lighting tower both count, with no per-asset surprise as you commission new equipment. (Per-asset metering is available as an opt-in for legacy contracts that need it.)

Honest scope

What we don't replace.

  • MSHA Form 7000-1 quarterly employment + production report — we capture the source data (cycle counts, production tonnage); you file the form.
  • Mine permitting + reclamation plans — entirely out of scope.
  • Scale-house integration / ticket reconciliation — on the roadmap via the public API. Today, customers run the scale-house separately and import via CSV.
