Smart project, Smart managment with MS4Mine
Competing in the future with low cash cost calls for bolder moves and for most EMMP companies a reinvention of how they manage their core operations. Smart EMMP companies invest more in a smarter value chain. By this we mean a value chain, inclusive of support services, that is far more:
Instrumented
Using sensors and “smart” devices to gain greater visibility, optimise in real time as well as provide automatic control and transactions. • Sensors, actuators, RFID and smart devices to automate transactions such as inventory location, asset location tracking, replenishment detection, transportation location and bottleneck identification
• Supports real-time data collection and transparency for material streams from drill hole to customer delivery.
Integrated
Interconnecting the entire value chain to better communicate demand and respond to risk in real time. • Inter layer, inter department and intercompany information integration across the network.
• Collaborative decision making through decision support and business intelligence.
• C-suite risk management programs for integrated financial controls with operational performance monitored and measured.
Intelligent
Advanced analytics, simulation and modelling to manage increasing complexity, dynamic risks and constraints and proactively manage the entire value chain. • Networked planning/execution with optimized forecasts and decision support
Mining of the collected data from MES and control systems for intelligent prediction models;
• Models to predict equipment failure using equipment data, triggering preventive maintenance orders to avoid unplanned shutdowns
• Simulation models to evaluate trade-offs of cost, time, quality, service and other criteria
• Probability-based risk assessment and predictive analysis
Innate
Blueprints and models of processes, roles and structures, easily maintained and easily published to the organisation, with links to the smart system with inbuilt feedback mechanisms from stakeholders.
This smarter mining value chain involves a transition to an integrated instrumented intelligent responsive infrastructure. Well functioning instrumented, integrated and intelligent value chains improve performance for companies. he complexity of building and maintaining this smarter value chain hold EMMP’s back when faced with skills shortages and remote locations.ENDS WITH A PROBLEM - WHAT IS YR COMPANY DOING?
