SMARTER, SAFER AND FASTER MINING

MINING IS BEING QUIETLY TRANSFORMED FROM THE INSIDE OUT BY TIRELESS AI AGENTS FROM WORKDAY, DRIVING SMARTER, FASTER DECISIONS ACROSS THE INDUSTRY.

- 

In a sector known for grit, scale, and complexity, the mining industry is now entering a new era, one powered not by heavier machinery, but by smarter technology.

AI agents, developed by enterprise software leader Workday, are reshaping how mining operations work, think, and make decisions.

Workday chief technology officer Shan Moorthy knows the pressure mining companies are under. Issues such as rising costs, workforce shortages and increasing ESG (environmental, social and governance) obligations weigh on businesses, and their impact is magnified when operating in Australia's remote and demanding mining environments.

"For the mining industry, Workday AI agents can help with tasks such as workforce logistics and contract management, through to day-to-day operational finance," Moorthy told Australian Mining.

"The result is faster decisions, lower risk, and better outcomes across operations, safety, talent, and finance."

An operational game-changer

Unlike many tech solutions that simply slap AI on top of legacy systems, Workday has built AI directly into the core of its unified platform for HR, finance and planning. It has been trained on more than one trillion business transactions annually and executed by over 70 million users.
