KMO-Fleet

Dr. Matthew Eyre is a part-time Associate Professor and senior academic in Mining Engineering at the Camborne School of Mines (CSM), University of Exeter. He provides strategic leadership across academic programs, research initiatives, and industry engagement, advancing the institution’s reputation as a global leader in mining education and innovation.

Matthew specialises in the digital transformation of mining operations, particularly the application of AI and data-driven technologies to optimise performance in both surface and underground contexts. His work emphasises practical, scalable solutions that help mining and quarrying operations achieve greater efficiency, safety, and sustainability.

KMO Fleet: Innovation in Accessible Digital Optimisation
In 2022, Matthew and the other directors founded KMO Fleet, a purpose-built AI-based fleet management system designed to offer digital optimisation services for mining and quarrying operations. KMO provides a cost-effective alternative to traditional OEM fleet management platforms, enabling operations of all sizes to access advanced analytics, real-time tracking, and AI-enhanced decision-making tools. From its inception, KMO was developed to deliver digital twin functionality and integrated fleet optimisation, making cutting-edge capabilities accessible to sites without the capital outlay of proprietary systems.

Laura Carter-Greaves is a mining engineer and software architect with over two decades of experience in real-time and automated systems design. Holding an MSc in Mining Engineering from the Camborne School of Mines, Laura combines a strong foundation in extractive industries with elite technical expertise drawn from a career in financial systems architecture.

Laura has spent over 20 years at the forefront of real-time software engineering, particularly in the development of low-latency, high-performance trading and data systems. Her unique blend of deep technical knowledge and pragmatic delivery has made her a sought-after architect and consultant across both finance and mining sectors.

Moving into mining engineering after an accomplished technology career, Laura has applied her systems knowledge to digital mining innovations, particularly in automation and safety analytics.

Dr. Jane Gallwey is a geospatial data scientist whose research fuses artificial intelligence (AI) with advanced 3D spatial data capture, particularly in the domains of laser scanning, point cloud classification, and automated spatial monitoring. She holds a PhD in Mining Engineering from the University of Exeter, Camborne School of Mines where her doctoral thesis pioneered the use of AI techniques to improve the reliability, scalability, and efficiency of geospatial data interpretation.

With a First-Class Honours BSc in Geomatics (Surveying) from the Dublin Institute of Technology (DIT), Dr. Gallwey brings over a decade of experience in spatial data processing and has built a distinguished academic profile that bridges traditional surveying methodologies with intelligent automation.

Dr. Declan Vogt is a mining researcher and technology strategist with over 30 years of experience in mining systems innovation, robotics, and automation. He currently serves as Lecturer in Robotic and Automated Mining at the Camborne School of Mines, University of Exeter, working on the integration of intelligent automation and geophysical systems into modern mining practice.

Declan’s experience in electronic system architecture, sensor design, and robotics aligns directly with KMO-Fleet’s mission to deliver cutting-edge AI-based fleet management and automation to the mining and quarrying industry.
