From insights to outcomes
We're a software‑first company focused on operational outcomes for tailings. We fuse existing data, automate the routine, and give EORs a cleaner, faster evidence trail.
Our first promise: EOR Draft in 48 Hours from the data you already collect. Our platform transforms the complex, multi-source data streams into unified, actionable intelligence. We believe that better monitoring leads to better decisions, and better decisions protect communities, environments, and assets.
Our Mission
AuricIQ exists to bridge the critical gap between data collection and decisive action in tailings management. We recognize that mining operations generate vast amounts of monitoring data, but transforming that data into timely, defensible decisions remains a challenge. Our platform solves this by creating a continuous, intelligent layer that unifies disparate data sources, applies advanced analytics, and delivers Engineer of Record (EOR)-ready outputs that meet Global Industry Standard on Tailings Management (GISTM) standards. We're not just another monitoring vendor—we're your partner in operational excellence and risk reduction.
About the Founder
Mike Ochs
Hi—I'm Mike Ochs, former Field CTO at Microsoft and now Head of Industrial AI Ventures at Siemens. For 11 years I've taken AI and robotics from prototype to production in mission-critical, regulated environments—turning messy, real‑world data into reliable, auditable decisions.
I build systems that fuse sensors, autonomy, and cloud/edge inference, integrate cleanly with existing workflows, and deliver measurable ROI. This background maps directly to the challenge of modern tailings monitoring: multiple data streams that need to be unified, complex physics that require sophisticated modeling, and operational constraints that demand practical, deployable solutions.
At AuricIQ, we're applying these proven approaches to one of mining's most critical challenges. Our software-first platform doesn't just collect data—it creates understanding, enables proactive management, and ultimately helps protect what matters most: people, communities, and the environment.
