Asset Management Software For Mining

Asset management software for mining is a central register of the operational assets a company issues to its people and holds at sites and camps: tablets, radios and gas detectors, camp and crib room fit-out, tools and safety gear, premises and light vehicles. Sentrient records purchase details, images, tags, inspection dates and a full history, with reports by asset, person or site, as part of its asset management software module.

Yes. Sentrient is an Australian platform used by more than 1,000 organisations, including engineering, manufacturing and professional services firms such as Engineers Australia, Pental and Phillips Ormonde Fitzpatrick. The asset register uses Australian terms and dates, sits inside the same system as your staff records, policies and compliance training, and is supported by a team in Australia.

No. Enterprise asset management and heavy mobile equipment management cover haul trucks, excavators, drills, crushers and conveyors, with maintenance strategy, reliability, utilisation, lifecycle costing and the plans operators hold with mine safety regulators under ISO 55001 and the Security of Critical Infrastructure Act. Sentrient is mine site equipment register software for the operational side only: the devices, tools, safety gear and light vehicles issued to crews, beside your EAM system. Oil and gas sites have the equivalent on our oil and gas site equipment register page.

Sentrient does not hold heavy mobile equipment or fixed plant records, schedule maintenance or shutdowns, run pre-starts or work orders, manage fleet telematics, IT assets or software licences, calculate depreciation or lifecycle cost, track vehicles by GPS, scan barcodes or RFID tags or integrate with SAP, Pronto, Ellipse or finance systems. For plant-level asset management, see Sentrient’s enterprise asset management software. This page is the staff-facing register beside those systems.

At minimum: what the asset is, a serial number or identifier, when and how it was acquired, its cost or lease terms, who holds it and at which site or camp, its condition, inspection or test dates and what happened to it when it was disposed of. Sentrient’s mining camp and site equipment tracking captures each of those fields with images, tags and a history of every change.

Yes. Allocate each device, tool or item of safety gear to a staff member in Sentrient when it is issued, and tag it with the site, crew or camp. The employee dashboard shows crews what they hold, the manager dashboard shows a site’s allocations, and the asset-by-staff report lists everything one person holds so returns are simple at swing changeover or demobilisation.

Safe Work Australia describes duties on an organisation that manages or controls plant, which for a mine operator or contractor includes generators, lifting gear, trailers and light vehicles, to provide and maintain safe plant and to register registrable plant before use. Sentrient records each item, who is responsible, inspection dates and history. What you keep, and how mobile plant is managed, remains a matter for the operator.

Sentrient records each asset from purchase or lease through allocation, inspection, renewal and disposal, which is the lifecycle view that standards such as ISO 55000 describe. The register holds dates and history at each stage, from a new satellite phone issued to a supervisor to a light vehicle reaching the end of its site life. It does not certify anything or replace an ISO 55001 system for mobile plant.

Yes. Each asset carries review and renewal dates, so a gas detector bump test cycle, a self-rescuer inspection, a lifting gear check, a light vehicle service or a lease return appears in the dashboard and reports before it falls due. Sentrient stores the date and the reminder. The inspection, calibration or service itself, and its certificate, are managed by your site team or provider.

Yes. Upload images of each asset, add tags for site, crew, camp or project, and record serial numbers and purchase or lease details. Every change is stored against the asset’s history, so you can see who held it, where it was and what changed over time.

Filter the register by site, camp or asset type, check each item against the record and update its condition and holder. The asset reports and asset-by-staff reports give the site supervisor the list to walk with, and the history shows when each item was last confirmed. Sentrient does not use scanners, so the check is visual against the record.

Typically a list of what the company owns and leases outside the mobile plant, when it was bought, who holds it and where, its condition and what has been disposed of. Sentrient’s asset reports provide that list with images and history attached. Read more on keeping an asset register that is ready for audit. Finance still holds the fixed asset register and depreciation schedule, which Sentrient does not calculate.

Yes. The administrator dashboard and asset reports summarise what the company holds by type, site, camp and staff member, with graphical insights and activity timelines. The executive, board and joint venture partners can see allocations, upcoming inspections and disposals without asking each site to compile a spreadsheet. Reporting on mobile plant and fixed plant sits with your EAM and finance systems.

A short policy on issuing, using and returning company devices, tools, safety gear and light vehicles helps crews understand their responsibilities, and Safe Work Australia describes a duty on an organisation that manages or controls plant to provide and maintain safe plant. Sentrient’s policy templates cover the policy side, with staff acknowledgement recorded. The operator remains responsible for meeting its own duties.

For site crews, Sentrient’s personal protective equipment, manual handling, working alone and incident reporting courses apply. For anyone driving between sites and camps, driver safety and alcohol and drugs at work apply, and cyber security covers devices that hold company information. Completion records sit in the same system as the asset register.

Record the asset once and allocate it to whoever holds it, then reallocate when it changes hands. The history shows every holder. For a pool item such as a shared gas detector, a satellite phone or a site ute, allocate it to the supervisor responsible for the site or swing and note the current user in the record. Contractors and FIFO crews are recorded in Sentrient alongside employees.

The register tells you what was lost, who held it and what it contained, the starting point for a response. Mining companies sit under the Privacy Act, and the OAIC’s Guide to securing personal information describes encryption, password protection and remote wiping for portable devices. Sentrient records the asset, not the device security, and the company decides its own response.

Update the site or camp tag and, if needed, the holder, and the history records the move. Filter the dashboard and reports by site to see what is at each site, camp or workshop and what is in storage. Read more on asset ownership and tracking across multiple sites.

Yes. Sentrient is web-based and works in a desktop or mobile browser wherever there is a connection, so a supervisor at a pit, a coordinator at a camp or an administrator at a workshop can check what they hold and confirm a return without waiting for head office.

Because the asset register sits inside the same platform as staff records, policies and compliance training, one login covers the lot and one report shows a crew member’s training and assets together. Sentrient mining site asset register software is quick to set up, simple for site crews and supported from Australia, beside the EAM and finance systems you already run. Read more on asset management compliance in Australia.

Mine operators, mining services and drilling contractors, exploration companies, quarry operators and engineering contractors who hold devices, tools, safety gear and light vehicles across sites, camps and workshops with no dedicated register for operational assets. Published Sentrient clients include Phillips Ormonde Fitzpatrick, Engineers Australia, Pental and DWS Group.

Bring your current spreadsheet to the demo. The Sentrient team walks you through the register, the asset types and how existing records are loaded, then allocations, site tags and inspection dates are set as supervisors confirm what their crews hold. Most companies have a working register for operational assets within days rather than weeks.

Pricing depends on the number of staff and which Sentrient modules you use alongside the asset register, so you receive a tailored proposal rather than a list price. The 20-minute demo is free and the proposal follows once you have seen the register with your own asset types.

Complete the form on this page or visit the free demo page. You get a free 20-minute online demonstration with your own field devices, tools and vehicles as the examples, and a tailored proposal afterwards.
