Minerals and Mining Software Portfolio
Each generation of technology redefines what "realtime" actually means and how businesses can be run. Today, innovations in the areas of integrated computing, mobility and cloud computing mean that "real-time" for the first time actually means real time. People can access up-to-date business data and systems wherever, whenever and however they need to. The flow of business information in exploration, mining and minerals processing (xMMP) has accelerated to real time, when the plant is integrated to sensors, indicating location and or performance KPI's. Realtime integrated offers significant opportunity for intervention on throughput issues as well as quality issues. For the miner it represents a super opportunity in agile responsive operations directly improving cash flows.
A case for integrated management information
Integrated realtime MMP operations management software delivers consistency, productivity and beter decision-making. In capital intensive mining and exploration this can translate into significant cost savings, grade and recovery improvements and reduced risk.
On the other hand, specifying, building and delivering and integrating information systems of various components of operational software can be a very costly, risky and time consuming task.
The benefit of the new integrated system is realised once the system had been bedded in. Therefore reducing the leadtime to system implementation has significant economic benefits.
We also believe that for greenfield sites uncertain information makes for difficult diagnosis of start-up problems. Therefore one of the more valuable times of having integrated and accurate information is at the point of start-up.
Selecting the right mining information management platform
Selecting your MMP management software platfom is a longterm decision. The capital cost of information systems and process control systems are significant but, more importantly, organisations take strain during software system changes and should carefully scope and plan their requirements, selection, design and delivery approaches.
Microsoft Dynamics AX is a radical platform for business into the future due to the flexible technology and the integrated nature of the MS Office experience. The sustainability and Microsoft's commitment as a large vendor of enterprise software provide a route for best of breed enterprise information technology. Our contribution is to provide SMART operationally integrated exploration, mine and minerals management functionality.
