Principal Systems Engineering & Edge Software for Surface Mining

30 years of hands-on software engineering for mining equipment, edge automation, and field telemetry across North America and globally. We build high-availability, hardware-aware software for equipment OEMs, technology integrators, and industrial operators when failure is not an option.

Core Engineering Capabilities

High-Availability Edge Architectures

We architect fault-tolerant distributed edge software designed for intermittent LTE, satellite latency, and air-gapped site conditions. Our systems deliver zero-data-loss telemetry buffering, deterministic edge logic, and continuous operation across isolated remote operations.

Ruggedized Operator HMIs

We build low-latency, high-contrast operator displays engineered specifically for harsh in-cab environments. Built for extreme vibration, high ambient light, and glove-touch interactions, our HMIs turn high-frequency machine state data into immediate, low-cognitive-load situational awareness.

Hardware-Aware Logic & Protocols

We bridge the software-hardware gap by interfacing directly with machine controllers, telemetry boxes, and sensor arrays. We specialize in Serial, CAN bus / J1939, Modbus, custom binary IPC mechanisms, and robust network socket communications over lossy links.

Specialized Engineering Services

OT System Architecture & Refactoring

We design scalable, high-availability system architectures for complex field applications. We specialize in hardening legacy software stacks, resolving concurrency issues, and eliminating single points of failure across edge and cloud infrastructure.

Hardware-Aware Software Engineering

We write performant native software that respects hardware constraints. From Linux daemons and Windows system services to low-level protocol drivers, we build software engineered to survive sudden power drops and harsh thermal cycles.

Edge Computing & Sensor Fusion

We integrate edge nodes directly on mobile equipment to process high-frequency sensor data locally. Our solutions filter noise, perform real-time diagnostics, and execute deterministic automation logic right at the asset level.

Field Prototype to Production Hardening

We take initial technology concepts or field prototypes and harden them into commercial, production-grade binaries. Every deployment is engineered for unattended operation, air-gapped updates, and seamless field maintainability.

In-Cab Display & Telemetry Development

We design and program real-time machine telemetry interfaces for drill control, payload monitoring, fleet guidance, and health diagnostics, ensuring rapid response times under severe operating conditions.

System Hardening & Deep Troubleshooting

When existing field software fails under real-world conditions, we diagnose and resolve deep-seated stability issues, memory leaks, timing bugs, and serial protocol communications failures.

Why Engineering Teams Partner With Us

Proven Global Mining Tech Lineage

Our 30-year engineering heritage is built on core technologies now part of Caterpillar and Epiroc (via Aquila, PeckTech, 3D-P, Thunderbird, and CR Digital). Combined with roots in automated sawmills and high-concurrency telecom, we bring rare end-to-end OT expertise.

Global Field Deployment Footprint

Our software systems and interface configurations have operated on active machinery across North America (US & Canada), Western Australia, South America, and Africa. We know how to write software that survives severe environments.

Senior Principal Talent & Simple US Procurement

You deal directly with a 30-year principal software architect—no account managers, offshore handoffs, or junior devs learning on your clock. Fully setup for seamless U.S. corporate procurement under standard tax treaty provisions (W-8BEN-E, 0% withholding).

What Mining Tech Leaders Say

Working with Inverness Park, it's clear that you're not just getting what you asked for, but a partner that goes above and beyond. With their deep expertise in engineered software solutions, they don't simply implement what's outlined in the initial requirements. Instead, Inverness Park takes a proactive approach, identifying opportunities to refine and optimize the design—always with the goal of delivering a more robust, scalable solution that fully addresses your needs. Their focus is on ensuring that the final result meets your objectives in the most efficient and sustainable way, without ever overstepping the original scope.

François Gariépy - Director, Technology Solutions at PeckTech (a Caterpillar company)
from Montreal, Canada

We've been working with Inverness Park since 2018 on several R&D projects. While most consultants will ask you to adapt to their ways, Inverness Park adapted to ours almost completely. They combine enthusiasm, skill and vast domain knowledge and their response is reliable and trustworthy. Their engagement is beyond compare. I would recommend Inverness Park as a development partner to any mining technology company.

★★★★★
Jon Peck - President at PeckTech Consulting Limited (a Caterpillar company)
from Montreal, Canada

I can't say enough about the team at Inverness Park. Their ability to take a project from inception to completion is—in my opinion—unmatched in the mining industry. Deploying technology in open-pit mines—and in some of the most inhospitable environments—requires a very unique set of skills, all of which Inverness Park excels at. Their adaptability and drive to provide quality first and foremost distinguishes them from the pack by a long shot.
