ABOUT IDOBA
Industrial Software Should Understand the Operation.
At idoba, that means the experience of operators, encoded in software. Built for mining and metals, our purpose-built industrial AI and simulation products combine that expertise with site data and specialist models to bring critical operating decisions forward, giving teams more time to investigate, compare, and act, while they can still change the outcome.
idoba is a part of Perenti and backed by a strategic investment partner.

OUR PURPOSE
We Exist to Close the Gap Between Technology and the Operating Decision.
Too much industrial technology begins with the technology and asks the operation to find a use for it. idoba begins with a defined operating decision, the people who understand it and the evidence they need while options remain.
In mining and metals, important constraints and developing risks rarely sit neatly in one system. Yet technology can remain a pilot, model or dashboard disconnected from the decision it was meant to improve. When evidence arrives only during execution or after a condition has progressed, the opportunity to compare, investigate or intervene has already narrowed.
idoba turns domain expertise, site data and specialist models into productised software around defined operating decisions. The aim is practical: make important evidence available earlier and in a form that can move into an accountable operational workflow.
OUR SHARED PROMISE
Move Critical Operating Decisions Earlier, While There is Still Time to Act.
Earlier insight creates more time to investigate, compare and act, helping teams protect production and productivity, exercise greater cost and capital discipline, and reduce operational and safety exposure through product specific decisions and proof.
OUR PRINCIPLES
Shape Everything We Do, Each Day.
-
We believe that we must be courageous in everything we do, by never compromising our standards, always doing what is right, and continuing to raise the bar in safety, performance and transparency every day.
-
We believe that to achieve our goals and deliver value we must be considered in how we approach our work. We plan effectively and spend money wisely to make every moment count.
-
We care for our clients, our work mates, and the communities where we work. We always act with integrity and to ensure everyone benefits, we seek to understand what really matters to them.
-
We believe that smart people collaborate, as none of us are as smart as all of us. By valuing our diversity, working together, sharing knowledge and supporting each other, we’re capable of exceptional things.
-
We believe that curious people can always discover safer, more efficient and more reliable ways of working. Through actively embracing change and innovation we are focused on continuous improvement.
HOW WE WORK
We Start With the Operating Decision, Not the Technology.
Developed with Operating Expertise.
Mining and metals specialists define the problem, encode operating logic and shape outputs around decisions teams need to make.
Implemented Around Your Operation.
The product is configured to relevant site data, rules, conditions and workflows - not rebuilt as bespoke AI research.
Supported Into Operational Use.
We work alongside your team to validate outputs, embed the product in existing decision cycles, and support sustained use while the operation retains control.
idoba builds purpose-built software around defined operating decisions, with specialist expertise present throughout development and operational use.
Turning The Experience of Operators Into Proven Software Solutions.
OUR PRODUCTS
Stress-test the Weekly Schedule Before Execution.
Compare weekly schedule scenarios, identify constraints and understand where planned tonnes, development and compliance to schedule may be at risk - while there is still time to make changes before crews and equipment are committed.
Identify Cathode and Sidewall Failure Risk Earlier.
Failure-mode-specific machine-learning models analyse the smelter's existing operational and laboratory data pot by pot, giving engineers more time to investigate and intervene before damage progresses.
CAREERS
Build the Future of Mining Technology.
We hire people who have run operations and people who build software, then put them in the same room. If you have spent time underground, in a smelter, or writing the code that makes a hard problem tractable, there is a seat here.

Our Head Office is based in the central business district.

OUR JOURNEY
Our Products Might Be New. The Expertise Behind Them is Not.
idoba was formed by bringing together five specialist SME consultancies, each with deep standing in mine planning, data science and operational improvement. That inherited expertise is what sits inside the products today.
THINK MINE PLANNING
Orelogy.
Mine planning and mining engineering consultancy. The scheduling discipline, operating logic and planning rigour behind idoba.sim traces directly back to this team.
THINK DATA SCIENCE
Optika Solutions.
Applied data science for heavy industry. The modelling and analytics capability that turns operational data into insight your team can use at site.
THINK INNOVATION
Sandpit.
Innovation practice for resources operations. The habit of testing an idea against the operating reality before it becomes a commitment.
THINK IMPROVEMENT
Impres.
Operational improvement specialists. Where the discipline of measuring a change, proving it and embedding it into the way a site runs comes from.
THINK DATA INSIGHTS
Atomorphis
Data insight and visualisation specialists. The reason our outputs are readable by site-based teams.
