BlueForge’s Heavy Equipment Lifecycle Services combine digital simulation, live condition analytics, and strategic cost modelling to improve the performance, reliability, and long-term value of HME fleets. Through Tacmin.ai’s project-specific models, we simulate site conditions to guide optimal fleet selection and improve performance. Once operational, our condition analytics provide real-time insight into utilisation, diagnostics, and efficiency—enabling proactive interventions and extending asset life. Coupled with detailed ownership and capital cost modelling, these services ensure heavy equipment strategies are technically sound, financially aligned, and scalable for long-term operational control.

We improve fleet performance through simulation-led planning using digital models developed by Tacmin.ai. These models replicate site conditions to assess fleet selection, productivity, and compatibility with project needs. Simulations incorporate OEM specifications to validate task alignment and equipment suitability. Insights are used to inform decision-making and optimise fleet deployment across varying project demands. This approach reduces risk and ensures operational alignment from the outset, supporting long-term asset performance.

Delivered through Tacmin.ai - Integrated Project intelligence, this service provides continuous visibility into equipment condition, utilisation, and efficiency. By connecting directly to OEM on-board systems via CAN bus protocols, we collect and process live telemetry data without interfering with warranties or site systems. Predictive diagnostics, fault trend reporting, and cost-per-hour modelling empower operations to move from reactive maintenance to data-informed decisions that extend asset life, reduce unplanned downtime, and control lifecycle costs of rebuilds and asset life.

We support owners and operators with fleet investment decisions through lifecycle cost analysis, ownership trade-off reviews, and procurement strategy development. This includes contractor vs. owner-operator assessments, specification reviews, bid evaluations, and total cost of ownership (TCO) modelling. The objective is clear: ensure HME assets are selected, procured, and deployed in a way that maximises fit-for-purpose value, aligns with operational objectives, and lays the groundwork for integrated maintenance and control systems in the future.

TacminMadini’s Life-of-Mine Equipment Strategy Study helps mining operations turn ad hoc fleet decisions into structured, capital-aligned strategies by integrating real-time asset intelligence with long-term planning. Without disrupting existing systems, we establish a clear operational baseline, model rebuild, replacement, and hybrid scenarios, and embed these into Life-of-Mine schedules and budgets. The result is a practical, phased fleet plan that aligns with production needs, supports financial forecasting, and guides execution with confidence — enabling clients to act early, control costs, and drive investment certainty across the asset lifecycle.

The study begins with the integration of real-time fleet performance, cost exposure, and utilisation metrics—enabled through Tacmin.ai. Without altering existing site structures, we create visibility across the operation to inform a more proactive decision-making process. Early interventions become possible by aligning asset condition data with production demand, setting the foundation for strategic planning.

Outcomes:

Live cost–performance alignment
Early risk identification (downtime, cost creep, asset bottlenecks)
Operational visibility without restructuring
