IntelliSense.io, a leader in Industrial Decision Intelligence for the mining sector, has announced a significant investment led by SEP, with additional contributions from Mitsubishi Corporation and Hitachi Construction Machinery. This funding aims to accelerate product development, expand into new markets, and enhance go-to-market strategies. The investment comes at a pivotal time as the mining industry increasingly seeks advanced AI solutions to optimise operations and improve efficiency.
The AI-native platform developed by IntelliSense.io is designed to help mining operators and asset owners identify and automate optimisation opportunities that have historically been challenging to capture. By integrating real-world physical process constraints with site-specific data, the platform enables real-time decision-making through autonomous execution agents across critical operational processes, including material tracking, stockpile management, and metal recovery. Notably, deployments of this technology have reported impressive outcomes, such as a 5% increase in throughput and an 8% reduction in reagent consumption.
The company’s technology is currently operational across more than 24 deployments at Tier 1 mining companies in eight countries, covering a diverse range of commodities. To further bolster its strategic direction, IntelliSense.io has formed a Strategic Advisory Board that includes prominent figures from the mining industry, such as Mark Cutifani, former CEO of Anglo American, and Nev Power, former CEO of Fortescue Metals Group. Their extensive experience is expected to provide invaluable insights into the requirements for AI-enabled decision systems at an industrial scale.
As demand for critical minerals rises, driven by geopolitical factors and the need for sustainable practices, IntelliSense.io positions itself as a key player in the sector. The company’s proprietary architecture, known as Owned Inference, differentiates it from competitors by focusing on domain-specific models that are rooted in the underlying science of industrial processes rather than merely statistical patterns. This approach ensures that all data and learnings remain within the customer’s infrastructure, enhancing data sovereignty and operational intelligence.
The investment from SEP, which has a strong track record in supporting enterprise technology firms, aligns with the growing recognition of mining as a strategic infrastructure sector. As global supply chains for essential minerals like copper and lithium undergo transformation, IntelliSense.io’s platform is set to play a crucial role in helping governments and producers achieve both AI sovereignty and critical minerals security. The firm’s commitment to delivering measurable outcomes through its AI solutions positions it well for future growth in the mining industry.
