Illustrative site · Tarrant Hill open-pit copper mine
One site, six desk jobs, drafted for sign-off.
Pick a job on the Tarrant Hill diorama. The operator has read the survey export, the readings and the dispatch records, and drafted the move for a named person to sign.

Six jobs at one site, each ending with a person.
The survey, the prisms and the dispatch system already produce the data. The operator does the checking and drafting that follows.

Illustrative reconciliation: the four checks- Do the survey and the book cover the same period?Yes. The book closed 30 Sep 06:00; the survey was flown at 06:40.
- Does the survey boundary match the pad?Yes. Same polygon as the 1 Sep survey.
- Is every load in the book weighed?Yes. All 1,214 dispatch loads have a weighbridge ticket.
- Is the density current?No. The register uses 2.15 t/m³ from a 2024 test; the August lab test on SP-04 reads 2.24 t/m³.
ExplainedAt 2.24 t/m³ the survey gives 92,467 t: 57 t from the book, inside the ±1,800 t tolerance.

Questions
What is an AI survey and monitoring operator?
An autonomous agent that does the desk work after the survey. It reads your survey exports, monitoring readings and shift records, reconciles volumes against the book, checks readings against your trigger levels, and drafts the report or notice for your surveyor or engineer to sign off.
Does it replace our survey or geology software?
No. Your drones, scanners, prisms and planning software keep capturing and modelling. The operator works on what they export: CSV and spreadsheet files and PDF reports, from SharePoint, Google Drive or your database.
Does it monitor the pit in real time?
No. It works on the readings and records you give it, when you run it, and drafts the follow-up for a person. Real-time alarms stay with your monitoring system.
Does it send or change anything on its own?
Filing a report, posting a notice or updating a register through Alomana's connectors waits for a person's yes. A declined action is not retried, and every run is logged with its input, output, tools and user.
Which systems does it connect to?
Alomana has 20+ connectors, including SharePoint, Google Drive and Sheets, Snowflake, PostgreSQL and Slack, activated per deployment. Systems outside the library connect through a remote MCP server.
Is our site data private?
Alomana is ISO 27001 certified and GDPR-compliant, and your data is never used to train AI models. Enterprise deployments run single-tenant, in a dedicated instance.
