May 1, Workers’ Day — Johannesburg
Today, on Workers’ Day — a moment to honour the hands and minds powering the mining industry — Dwyka Mining Services announces a strategic partnership with ARCHITECH, a business architecture firm pioneering how human + machine teams work together.
In today’s mines, problems rarely stay in one place. Issues in safety, production, and systems ripple across departments, sites, and layers of risk. From control rooms to underground operations, managing this complexity isn’t just a leadership challenge — it’s a matter of safety and survival.
The partnership with ARCHITECH is Dwyka’s response to the challenge of complexity.
ARCHITECH brings a unique capability to the table: designing clear, human-centred systems that help mines see the bigger picture, connect siloed wins, and scale best practice. Through our partnership with ARCHITECH, we are on a mission to support mining operations to:
- Visualise how people, processes, and technology fit together in the mining ecosystem
- Build integrated technology adoption roadmaps
- Design scalable systems where safety and simplicity come first
“Mining teams are winning in many areas — but often in isolation,” said Jamie van Schoor, CEO of Dwyka Mining Services. “What we need now is connection. With ARCHITECH’s blueprinting and systems thinking, we’ll help mines design smarter operations from the ground up — where every part of the business works together, not apart.”
As part of this future rollout, Dwyka <LABS> and a planned test mine access will offer real-world environments for technology partners and clients to further de-risk innovation, enabling pain-free adoption of proven solutions in a safe but challenging operational environment.
“Dwyka turns talk into action,” van Schoor added. “With boots-on-the-ground experience and real-world labs, we’re helping mines adopt the future — not fear it. Our work is about augmenting human ingenuity with machines, not replacing it.”
Amy Fane Hervey, founder of ARCHITECH, added:
“In mining, complexity isn’t abstract — it’s operational, emotional, and physical. And it can cost lives. ARCHITECH exists to help leaders cut through that noise. We give them tools to think clearly, act faster, and design systems that protect their people and performance alike.”
On this Workers’ Day, Dwyka honours those who keep the industry moving — and sets the stage for a future where their work is safer, smarter, and more supported than ever before.
