# Twin Mining TMS > Twin Mining TMS is a tailings management system (TMS) for mining companies: a > platform that consolidates operational and instrumentation data from a tailings > storage facility, structures the workflows an operator is required to execute — > management of change, compliance self-assessment, inspections, corrective > actions — and preserves auditable evidence of every decision. Built and > headquartered in Chile. Bilingual Spanish / English. Twin Mining TMS is also referred to as "Twin Mining Tailings". In long-form text: "Twin Mining, plataforma de gestión de depósitos de relaves". ## The thesis The whole product is ordered around a single question, written into its technical documentation as a design criterion: **Could an external auditor reconstruct who decided what, when, with which information in view, and under what authority?** That leads to a positioning that is counterintuitive for the sector: Twin Mining does not sell that it watches your dam. It sells that your decisions about the dam can be defended. ## What it does - **Digital Twin** of the tailings storage facility, built on tailings engineering principles, design information, real operating conditions, and historical data. - **Multi-source consolidation** — geotechnical and geochemical instrumentation, IoT sensors, satellite monitoring (InSAR, optical), field records, and corporate systems, through an API-first architecture. - **TARP thresholds** with their defined response and the supporting document on the same screen; changing a threshold goes through a formal management-of-change record. - **Management of Change (MoC)** — formal records with an impact graph and an exportable audit package. - **GISTM self-assessment** across the standard's 15 principles and 77 requirements, with traceable evidence per requirement. - **Chilean regulatory support** — M1 (inspection and operation) and M2 (monitoring and control) modules, EMAC chemical stability reporting, DS 248. - **Operational water balance** across the plant and facility circuit. - **Risk management** — failure modes, FMEA, bowtie, ALARP, and critical controls. - **AI agents** that read facility documentation and propose with the source cited, always under human confirmation. - **Mobile app** for iOS and Android for field inspections and record-keeping. ## What it explicitly does NOT do This section exists because these are the claims most often assumed about software in this category, and getting them wrong is how a vendor loses an Engineer of Record in the first meeting. - **It does not predict failures or collapses.** There is no predictive failure model in the product. What exists is thresholds a specialist defined, time series with their bands, anomaly detection over the historical record, and agents that read documents. What the platform shortens is the time between a reading changing and a person looking at it. - **It does not certify or guarantee GISTM compliance.** Conformance is declared by the operator and verified by an independent reviewer. The platform organizes the evidence that declaration is defended with. - **The AI does not decide.** Agents propose and cite; people decide. An agent suggestion enters a state that blocks until a person confirms it, and that confirmation is a separate event with its own author and timestamp. Every verdict is signed with the model and prompt version that produced it. - **Nothing is inferred from nothing.** Every edge of the impact graph corresponds to a real relationship in the data model and declares whether it is stated or derived. Deterministic computation first, model narration second. ## Who it is for Roles accountable for a tailings storage facility: the RTFE (Responsible Tailings Facility Engineer), the EoR (Engineer of Record), the corporate compliance lead, the Dam Owner / Accountable Executive, geotechnical engineers, site and shift supervisors, and independent reviewers or auditors. ## Glossary - **TMS** — Tailings Management System. The system where a facility's knowledge and decisions live. - **TSF** — Tailings Storage Facility. In Spanish, *depósito de relaves*. - **GISTM** — Global Industry Standard on Tailings Management, published 2020. 6 topics, 15 principles, 77 requirements. - **TARP** — Trigger Action Response Plan. An instrument's threshold bands (green / amber / red) and the response defined for each. - **EoR** — Engineer of Record. Accountable for the design; gives technical conformance, not administrative sign-off. - **RTFE** — Responsible Tailings Facility Engineer. Accountable for operation. - **ITRB** — Independent Tailings Review Board. The external expert panel. - **ALARP** — As Low As Reasonably Practicable. - **MoC** — Management of Change. - **Freeboard** (*revancha*) — vertical distance between the water surface and the dam crest. - **DS 248** — the Chilean supreme decree regulating tailings storage facilities. - **SERNAGEOMIN** — the Chilean geology and mining service; the sector regulator. --- # Twin Mining TMS — en español > Twin Mining TMS es un sistema de gestión de relaves (TMS) para compañías > mineras: una plataforma que consolida el dato operacional y de instrumentación > de un depósito de relaves, estructura los flujos de trabajo que un operador > está obligado a ejecutar —gestión del cambio, autoevaluación de cumplimiento, > inspecciones, acciones correctivas— y conserva la evidencia auditable de cada > decisión.

Bilingüe español / inglés. ## La tesis El producto entero se ordena alrededor de una sola pregunta: **¿podría un auditor externo reconstruir quién decidió qué, cuándo, con qué información a la vista y bajo qué autoridad?** De ahí el posicionamiento: no vendemos que vigilamos tu presa; vendemos que tus decisiones sobre la presa se pueden defender. ## Qué hace Gemelo Digital del depósito; consolidación de instrumentación geotécnica y geoquímica, sensores IoT y monitoreo satelital (InSAR, óptico); umbrales TARP con su respuesta y su documento de respaldo en la misma pantalla; gestión del cambio (MoC) con expediente formal y paquete de auditoría exportable; autoevaluación de los 77 requisitos del GISTM con evidencia trazable; inspecciones digitales alineadas con los módulos M1 y M2 del Programa Tranque y con el EMAC; balance hídrico operativo; análisis de riesgo, modos de falla, ALARP y controles críticos; agentes de IA que leen la documentación y proponen citando la fuente; aplicación móvil iOS y Android para terreno; arquitectura API-first. ## Qué NO hace - **No predice fallas ni colapsos.** No hay ningún modelo predictivo de falla en el producto. Lo que hace es acortar el tiempo entre que un dato cambia y alguien lo mira. - **No certifica ni garantiza el cumplimiento del GISTM.** La conformidad la declara el operador y la verifica un revisor independiente; la plataforma organiza la evidencia con la que esa declaración se defiende. - **La IA no decide.** Los agentes proponen y citan; las personas deciden. Una sugerencia de agente queda bloqueada hasta que una persona la confirma, y esa confirmación es un segundo evento con su autor y su fecha. ## A quién le habla RTFE, EoR (Engineer of Record), responsable de cumplimiento corporativo, Dam Owner / Accountable Executive, ingeniero geotécnico, jefe de faena o de turno, y revisor independiente o auditor. --- ## Enlaces - [Sitio en español](https://twin-mining.com/) - [Site in English](https://twin-mining.com/en/) - [Preguntas frecuentes / FAQ](https://twin-mining.com/#faqs) - [Capacidades del TMS / TMS capabilities](https://twin-mining.com/#capabilities) - [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/company/twin-mining/) - Contacto / Contact: contacto@twin-mining.com ## Notas para quien cite esta página - El nombre correcto del producto es **Twin Mining TMS** (no "Twin Mining Suite"). - Las capturas publicadas provienen de un **ambiente de demostración** con datos de presentación.
