Brisbane, Australia – May 2025 Mipac, a leading specialist in operational technology and digital solutions for the global mining industry, has released the third edition of its Digital Transformation Guide, a practical resource designed to help mining operations leaders navigate the complex journey of digital transformation.
The newly released guide builds on Mipac’s 2020 and 2023 editions, offering an updated, action-focused roadmap to help sites move from digital ambition to measurable impact, without the usual pitfalls of tech-first thinking.
Designed for operations teams, rather than just IT leaders or corporate strategists, the guide includes tools and insights developed through Mipac’s extensive on-site experience with clients across Australia, the Americas, and beyond.
“You can’t transform a mining operation by plugging in AI and changing nothing else,” said Dominic Stoll, Solutions Manager at Mipac and original author of the guide.
“Digital transformation has to be operationally meaningful—and that starts with people. This guide is about helping site teams move beyond buzzwords and find the practical steps that lead to real, measurable progress.”
The latest edition is structured to help operations leaders:
- Assess their digital maturity using a self-assessment tool
- Identify site-specific bottlenecks and data silos
- Prioritise ‘quick win’ improvements that deliver early value
- Build a transformation roadmap aligned to operational realities
- Learn from real-life case studies drawn from Mipac’s project experience
With the mining industry under increasing pressure to improve performance, reduce variability and attract a new generation of talent, digital transformation is no longer optional—but it also shouldn’t be overwhelming.
“Too often, transformation initiatives stall because they’re divorced from daily site challenges,” said Stoll. “Our goal with this guide is to bridge that gap—giving leaders something that’s grounded, credible and ready to use.”
While developed in Australia, the guide speaks directly to the needs of North American operators, where many miners face similar challenges with legacy systems, siloed data, and workforce change.
