Driving optimisation at Karlawinda

In 2025, Thiess short interval control solutions were launched at the Karlawinda Gold Project to enhance MACA’s performance.

The project’s iVolve fleet monitoring system was integrated with the Pit Companion application and Power BI reports to provide the site team with real-time visibility of performance metrics, including idling, queuing and payload compliance opportunities. This delivered a customised solution for the gold mining environment.

Between June 2025, when Pit Companion was introduced at Karlawinda, and September 2025, when idle performance became a focus area, engine idle time decreased by 22%. This demonstrates the effectiveness of the technology and shows how integrating it into daily operations can improve efficiency and support reductions in emissions intensity across our sites.
