Lost time costs time. Experience the power of automation for yourself with our interactive demonstration. We’d love to know what you think.
Programmed to make automation easy
Automation isn't coming, It's here.
Cortex software and engineering services have been created with mining in mind.
Design
Custom concepts, fit for purpose
Cortex engineers design each automation from the ground up. Our creations are available off the shelf, or customised to your operation
Data Collection
We’re pushing boundaries: with real-time sensor uploads from plant and mobile fleet, technicians can diagnose issues remotely and rectify them.
Data Analysis
Cortex’s game-changing approaches to efficiency means you can now analyse mineral samples down-hole and instantly auto-adjust core processes.
Storage
We’ve got your back. All data is securely stored onboard machines as well as sent to base using extreme compression (saving on transmission charges).
Reporting
Track machine usage, hours and geolocation. Use high-density data for 3D exploration modelling to get the big picture, long term.

Automation isn’t about removing people, it’s about moving them out of harm’s way. Find out about operational training and our free programming workshops.
Operate
Programming and On Site Management
The black magic behind the automation is programming. That’s us. To keep operations simple or automate them entirely, we program in a number of languages and collaborate with the most talented software and control system engineers on the planet.
Robotics
We don’t just work with engineers, we are engineers: creating the software that adds value to hardware and moves the industry forward.
Industrial
Programmable Logic Control meets advanced PC programming to create an integrated system that’s profoundly intuitive to the end user.
Drilling Control Systems
Control systech hasn’t changed since the ‘50s. Cortex lifts machines out of the dial-and-gauge steampunk past with clear computer displays.
Automation
Sure, we can alter to automate. But we also redesign from the ground up for some groundbreaking results.
Construct
Equipment Manufacturing
Yep, we build it too. From industrial hydraulic devices to custom circuitry, our engineering team know how to build stuff tough. Discover more about our custom automation services in Perth.
About Cortex
Strange name, what does it mean? Cortex is all about the core of technology. It all starts with specialist developer Chris Hold, and his vision to automate complex mining systems.
