Who it serves
Technicians, maintenance, engineering and site technology teams.
Offline engineering drawing library / Mining operations
THE RIGHT DRAWING.
AT THE ASSET.
Engineering information should be available where maintenance happens—not trapped in folders, offices or unreliable networks.
ShaftDraw helps mine technicians, electricians and engineers quickly find, view and manage instrumentation and equipment drawings on tablets and desktops, with essential documents available offline.

What changes
Verified drawings become easier to find and use at the asset.
How it starts
One area, one approved drawing set and one selected user group.
What proves value
Search time, availability, revision confidence and adoption.

01The Operational Gap
Maintenance slows down when drawings are difficult to reach.
Mine technicians often work far from office-based document stores, shared drives and reliable connectivity. The drawing may exist—but locating the correct file and revision can still take too long.
Printed packs become outdated. Folder structures grow inconsistent. Valuable time is lost moving between the equipment, control room and engineering office.
ShaftDraw brings the drawing library into the maintenance workflow, so teams can spend less time searching and more time understanding the asset.
Information separated from the work.
- Drawings spread across folders and printed packs
- Network access uncertain at the asset
- Extra movement between field and office
- Revision context difficult to confirm quickly
A controlled library at the asset.
- Structured library organised around equipment
- Essential drawings available offline
- Tablet and desktop access in one workflow
- Clearer document and revision information
02Core Product
A focused drawing tool for demanding industrial environments.
ShaftDraw replaces slow folder-based searches with a simple library designed around the essential field task: get the correct engineering information into the right person’s hands quickly and reliably.
01
Offline by design
Keep essential equipment drawings available when underground connectivity is weak, intermittent or unavailable.
02
Fast drawing discovery
Find the right drawing by equipment type, drawing number, PLC address or technical information without searching through folders.
03
Tablet and desktop access
Give field technicians and engineering teams a consistent experience across the devices they already use.
04
Controlled drawing library
Organise approved drawings, categories, favourites, revisions and equipment documentation in one structured source.
03Field Workflow
From equipment problem to relevant drawing in four clear steps.
Search
Use equipment type, drawing number, PLC address or technical information.
Select
Confirm the drawing title, category and revision context.
View
Open and inspect the document on a field tablet or desktop.
Manage
Keep the operational library structured and current.
04Operational Value
Make engineering information easier to use, trust and scale.
ShaftDraw improves the information layer around maintenance. It does not replace engineering judgement—it helps skilled teams reach the information that judgement depends on.
Shorten fault-finding time
Move teams from document hunting to diagnosis and execution faster, supporting reduced downtime.
Support work at the asset
Open relevant drawings beside the equipment instead of returning to an office or shared terminal.
Improve drawing confidence
Make approved documents and revision information clearer and easier to manage.
Support safer decisions
Make verified engineering information easier to reach and reduce the risk of relying on outdated drawings.
Simplify field access
Replace fragmented folders and printed packs with a purpose-built digital drawing experience.
Retain engineering knowledge
Keep technical information structured, available and less dependent on individual memory.
Value across the operation
Field technicians
Reach the correct drawing at the equipment—even when the network cannot.
Maintenance leaders
Remove avoidable search friction from diagnosis and planned work.
Engineering teams
Keep approved drawings, metadata and revision context easier to govern.
IT & OT teams
Begin with a contained deployment and a clear path to future integration.
05Information Control
Offline access without losing operational control.
The implementation approach should keep document ownership, approved revision processes and access rules aligned with the mine’s existing engineering governance.
Role-aware access
Align library access to approved teams and responsibilities.
Revision visibility
Surface document and revision information clearly for users.
Managed offline sets
Control which verified content is available on field devices.
Structured metadata
Organise drawings around equipment and operational context.
06Phased Product Roadmap
Controlled delivery / four phases
Build intelligence on top of a trusted drawing foundation.
ShaftDraw begins with dependable access and governance. Intelligence and operational integrations follow only after the drawing foundation has been proven.
Digital drawing library
Search, categories, favourites and offline access across tablets and desktops.
Control and synchronisation
Secure uploads, equipment mapping, synchronisation and revision control.
Phase 03 / future capability
Local AI drawing intelligence
Read drawings, identify equipment tags and signal paths, compare revisions, support natural-language search and prepare proposed drawing updates for engineering approval.
Phase 04 / future capability
SCADA-assisted response
Allow an alarm to retrieve the relevant drawing, highlight the affected section and recommend where inspection should begin—subject to site architecture, cybersecurity and engineering controls.
07Pilot Deployment
Start with one controlled drawing set. Prove the workflow. Then scale.
01
Scope
Select a high-value shaft, plant area or equipment class for the first controlled rollout.
02
Structure
Import, classify and verify the relevant engineering drawing set and its revision information.
03
Deploy
Configure tablet and desktop access, offline availability and user permissions for the pilot team.
04
Validate
Run the workflow with technicians, gather usage feedback and define the scale-up plan.
Pilot success measures
Drawing search time
Offline availability
Revision confidence
Technician adoption
Pilot input
