Shutdown management software built for mining operations.
Reduce shutdown duration by 10-15%, verify critical-path work with photo-proof, and replace manual reporting with a verifiable record of every field event and delay cause. Live on your site in 30 days.
Take ownership of the STO lifecycle
Sights is your single source of truth for the full STO lifecycle. Gain full visibility of each stage and find exactly where time is slipping and what is causing delays. Planners, supervisors, and superintendents get a shared view of what’s ready, what’s running late, and what is truly complete.
Strategy
Build a shutdown strategy based on measurable drivers: wear, risk, backlog, critical path. Not assumptions.
Readiness
Get real time status of planning and procurement status. Create work packs to house SOPs, tools, permits, risk assessments, lift plans and schedules.
Execution
Maintain real-time situational awareness during execution so potential critical-path overruns are visible early.
Reporting
Automatically generate S-curves and delay reports with specific cause codes to ensure continuous improvement is based on reality.
How Does Sights Work?
Strategy & Drivers
Sights visualizes your yearly shutdown schedule, process lines and individual components along with indirect shutdown costs. Sights uses a two-point UT calibration and live production data to calculate the exact wear life of every liner in your ancillary equipment (chutes, cyclones, pumps). This ensures all components reach end-of-life simultaneously, eliminating unplanned stops.
Planning & Readiness
95% of shutdown jobs are recurring. Sights lets you plan once and reuse work packages indefinitely. The system integrates with any ERP with an API to show real-time procurement and material status, ensuring you never start a shutdown without the required resources.
The Mill Reline Module
Take full ownership of your reline planning. Sights allows you to map every phase, including the inching schedule, coffee breaks, and shift changes to reduce contractor risk and ensure the mill is back in production on the minute.
Execution & Photo Verification
Supervisors and contractors use the Sights mobile app to report progress and delays in real-time, with most updates taking less than 60 seconds. To ensure absolute compliance, critical-path tasks and LOTO isolations can require mandatory photo-proof for closeout. This creates a visual standard of “Done,” allowing even personnel unfamiliar with a specific asset to verify safety-critical lock points with 100% certainty.
Reporting & Continuous Improvement
Sights automatically captures a high-fidelity audit trail of every field event, LOTO verification, and delay cause code in real-time. This data generates automated S-curves and factual KPIs, ensuring your post-shutdown reviews are based on clean evidence to drive measurable improvements for the next outage.
Offline Capability & Integration
Sights works without Wi-Fi in the concentrator; data is automatically updated with correct timestamps once reconnected. The system is API-compatible with any modern ERP or CMMS and can be fully operational on your site in 30 days.

How Does Sights Help You?
Ensure that safety, production, and cost targets are met with verifiable, site-wide results. Sights provides a complete, auditable record of every event on the plant floor, replacing manual and verbal reporting with a high-fidelity data set. This level of transparency allows for accurate benchmarking across multiple sites and ensures that your high-stakes STO events are managed with uncompromising discipline.
Protect your production budget and hit your availability targets with data-driven execution control. Sights uses sophisticated wear algorithms to synchronize ancillary equipment maintenance, preventing premature liner changes and eliminating unplanned mid-cycle stops. By tightening the execution loop, you minimize your total maintenance spend and lower your cost per produced ton ($/t).
Stop planning the same jobs every year. Use a secure, templated framework to build and reuse asset specific work packages that include all necessary documentation: SOPs, lift plans, risk assesments, tools, permits. Track readiness status at a glance to get an accurate view of procurement and planning readiness.
Establish a single source of truth for planning and execution across your entire area. Real-time situational awareness allows you to identify critical-path bottlenecks as they happen, giving you the lead time to intervene before the schedule slips. With an automated audit trail of every field event and delay code, you can focus your continuous improvement on factual data, not just the loudest voice in the room.
Eliminate the friction of manual reporting with a mobile application designed for the plant floor. Gain real-time situational awareness of LOTO isolations and critical-path milestones as they happen. Automated push notifications alert your teams of upcoming tasks, while mandatory photo-verification ensures that every safety-critical isolation is visually confirmed and documented before the next trade commences work.
