Our Story

OpenAutonomy.com was born from a vision to create an industry-wide platform dedicated to advancing open standards in autonomous mining. As we observed the mining sector's technology landscape evolving toward proprietary autonomous solutions, we recognized the need for an independent space where knowledge, innovations, and experiences could be freely shared among all stakeholders.

​

Founded by Wenco International Mining Systems but designed as a home for the entire industry, OpenAutonomy.com serves as mining's premier educational resource and collaboration platform. We believe that the future of autonomous mining will be built on interoperability, healthy competition, and collective innovation—not locked within single-vendor ecosystems.

​

Our platform brings together mining companies, technology providers, OEMs, and industry experts to share technical knowledge, implementation insights, and visionary perspectives. As a strictly non-commercial, vendor-neutral space, OpenAutonomy.com maintains independence from paid promotion, ensuring that the content you find here is driven by educational value and technical merit rather than marketing agendas. We invite all organizations committed to the principles of open autonomy to join us in shaping the future of mining through shared expertise and collaborative advancement.
