We build decision-grade evidence from ore sampling, testwork programs and laboratory results. This includes sampling advice, testwork scope definition, testwork matrix development, laboratory coordination, data QA review and interpretation of results so data can support modelling, studies, design, operations and optimisation decisions.

For ore, brine and specialist process applications, Sedgman’s capability includes in-house laboratory testwork such as evaporation, crystallisation and brine-related testing, helping project teams connect empirical evidence with recovery, product quality, operating conditions and future performance decisions. 

We connect orebody knowledge, plant data, mass balance discipline, metallurgical accounting and predictive simulation to improve understanding of how resource variability and operating conditions influence plant performance. This can support geometallurgical modelling, process response modelling, production and recovery reconciliation, scenario assessment and predictive modelling for throughput, recovery, product quality and operating constraint decisions. 

We support performance monitoring and KPI tracking so clients have clearer visibility of the measures that matter to operations. This can include production, recovery, availability, utilisation, product quality, energy, consumables, downtime, condition monitoring and other site-relevant indicators that help technical, site and leadership teams understand performance movement. 

We analyse process data and identify trends across plant and equipment behaviour. Our teams connect process and metallurgical interpretation so clients can recognise variability, abnormal conditions, recurring patterns and changes in operating response, then focus investigation and optimisation effort where it is most useful. 

We connect maintenance and operational analytics to help clients understand how downtime, asset health, alarms, condition data, failure patterns, operating routines and maintenance actions influence performance. This supports better prioritisation of reliability, maintenance and operational improvement work. 

We develop reporting dashboards and visualisation approaches that make critical plant, process, maintenance and asset information easier to understand. Dashboard and visualisation work helps teams communicate performance, compare trends, focus attention and move from complex operating data to clearer decisions. 

We support integrated remote monitoring solutions, including SEDGMETRIX-enabled services where relevant, to improve visibility of operating conditions and connect site teams with specialist support. This may include site overview dashboards, asset health monitoring and alerting, historian and trending functionality, custom dashboards, digital twin interfaces where appropriate, expert support and machine learning anomaly detection to flag patterns or emerging issues that warrant technical review. 

We help align digital insight with how operating teams work. This includes framing practical digital pathways, advising on operations technology and data workflows, clarifying how dashboards and alerts are used, and translating data, models and monitoring outputs into decision-ready insight for investigation, optimisation, operational review or maintenance action.
