A UK based IntelliSense.io, a leader in Industrial Decision Intelligence for the mining and minerals processing sector, has announced a significant investment from SEP, a prominent enterprise technology investor, alongside strategic contributions from Mitsubishi Corporation and Hitachi Construction Machinery. This investment is set to accelerate product development, expand into new markets, and enhance go-to-market operations, positioning IntelliSense.io to further its impact across the global mining landscape.
The company’s AI-native platform is designed to help mining operators and asset owners identify and automate optimisation opportunities that have traditionally 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 various stages of mineral processing. In fully operational deployments, IntelliSense.io has reported impressive outcomes, including a 5% increase in throughput and an 8% reduction in reagent consumption, even in operations already recognised for their optimisation.
IntelliSense.io’s technology is currently deployed across more than 24 projects at Tier 1 mining companies in eight countries and across multiple commodities. The recent investment has also led to the formation of a Strategic Advisory Board, which includes mining veterans such as Mark Cutifani, former CEO of Anglo American, and Nev Power, former CEO of Fortescue Metals Group. Their extensive experience is expected to guide the company in delivering AI-enabled decision systems that meet the rigorous demands of industrial-scale operations.
As the demand for critical minerals rises amid geopolitical shifts, the need for operational intelligence in mining has never been more pressing. IntelliSense.io is strategically positioned to support governments and producers in achieving AI sovereignty and ensuring critical minerals security. The company’s proprietary architecture, known as Owned Inference, differentiates it from competitors by focusing on domain-specific models that leverage the underlying science of industrial processes rather than relying solely on statistical patterns.
The investment from SEP, led by Keith Davidson and Daniel Muranda, aligns with the firm’s strategy of partnering with innovative technology founders to address complex challenges faced by global enterprises. With a strong foundation and a commitment to international expansion, IntelliSense.io is poised to enhance its role as a trusted partner in the mining sector, driving sustainable practices and operational efficiencies in an increasingly competitive market.
