4D Delta

What 4D Delta does

4D Delta Pty Ltd is a Western Australian remote asset inspection company founded in 2014 that serves the mining and resources sector with its 4D Delta Cloud platform. The company combines 3D laser scanning, high-definition imagery, and proprietary data processing to capture whole-of-asset wear data without requiring personnel to enter confined spaces or work at heights, then delivers that data through purpose-built software modules for Bulk Materials Handling (chutes, bins, deflectors), Refractory (calciners, kilns), Mill (mill liner wear), and Tank (structural degradation). The four modules were progressively launched between November 2023 and April 2024 following the November 2021 release of the initial Liner Inspection System, with platform development supported by a Western Australian State Government Investment Attraction Fund grant awarded in April 2023.

The company monetises through three streams: SaaS subscriptions to the 4D Delta Cloud platform, a managed data-processing service offered to alliance partners who capture inspection data, and professional on-site inspection services. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales via 'Request Demo' and 'Get In Touch' funnels, supplemented by an Alliance Partner channel in which established service providers market the solution and perform inspection data capture while 4D Delta processes and hosts the data. Distribution is anchored by a three-year MoU with Veolia Australia and New Zealand (signed 14 November 2024, targeting cement, bulk commodities, and base metals processors) and a five-year North American alliance with Wingfield Scale & Measure covering USA, Canada, and Mexico (signed 27 November 2024).

4D Delta is a privately held Australian proprietary limited company headquartered at Level 1, 525 Great Eastern Highway, Redcliffe WA 6104, with nine employees. Revenue is not publicly disclosed, and there is no evidence of venture capital, private equity, or institutional investor involvement to date; the company appears founder-led under CEO Garth Johnson. The company frames itself as Australia's leading asset inspection company in mining and resources, addressing a near-A$1 billion annual Australian iron-ore liner-maintenance spend and targeting adjacent verticals (cement, base metals, oil & gas, steel, power generation) through its expanding module and alliance footprint.

Core offering

4D Delta provides remote asset inspection services and the 4D Delta Cloud SaaS platform, which combines 3D laser scanning, high definition imagery, and proprietary data processing to deliver wear analysis, forecasting, and preventative maintenance planning for mining and resources sector assets. The platform is offered as a suite of purpose-built modules covering bulk materials handling, refractory, mill, and tank assets.

Product overview

4D Delta is an asset inspection company offering the 4D Delta Cloud platform—a suite of purpose-built digital software solutions for advanced asset inspection, wear management and maintenance in the Mining and Resources Sector. The platform consists of four interconnected modules: 4D Delta Cloud Bulk Materials Handling (for liner wear in chutes, bins, deflectors), 4D Delta Cloud Refractory (for refractory deformation in calciners and kilns), 4D Delta Cloud Mill (for mill liner wear management), and 4D Delta Cloud Tank (for tank structural degradation monitoring). All modules combine 3D laser scanning, high definition imagery, and proprietary data processing to deliver comprehensive asset wear analysis, forecasting, and preventative maintenance planning through an intuitive online platform accessible anywhere.
