SMART Exploration and Mining Templates for Integrated Solutions
Smart EMMP companies invest more in smarter value chains. Solitech offers the MS4Mine template and tools to achieve the smart enterprise cost effectively and reliably. By smarter we mean:
Instrumented
The use of sensors and “smart” devices to gain greater visibility and optimise in real time, as well as provide automatic control and transactions.
Integrated
The entire value chain is interconnected to better communicate demand and respond to risk in real time.
Intelligent
Advanced analytics, simulation and modelling to manage increased complexity, dynamic risks and constraints, and proactively manage the entire value chain.
Innate
Blueprints and models of processes, roles and structures are easily maintained and easily published to the organisation; it has links to the smart system with built-in feedback mechanisms from stakeholders. MS4Mine delivers the capability and starting point to achieve the smart enterprise objective.
Our Mining Reference Model (MS4Mine) for exploration mining and plants forms the knowledge backbone of our activities and can assist you in transforming your mine enterprise in a low risk manner and with superior stakeholder communication and buy-in along the way. The MS4Mine model includes the roles people play and the processes associated with the mine's operations. This in turn allows rapid mapping of your operation. The premise: a well understood operation is ready for simultaneous, integrated and rapid tactical change initiatives right across the enterprise.
Intuitive Modelling Methods
Innate: Crafting the smarter MMP operation
A smarter value chain implies a process of evolution. Transformation necessitates changes in people's roles, technologies and processes. The simultaneous changes of all three require a roadmap shared between all stakeholders. Stakeholders include the leaders and architects of change, the implementors of change, and finally the prime actors in the new smarter MMP organisation.
Templates and Blueprints
Models Published to Intranet (e.g. SharePoint)
The most critical time of the MMP’s life is at start-up of a new site. Design meets reality at the start of development, and later, the start of pre-production leading into full production. Teething problems occur at these stages and frequently delay the start of full production. An MMP web published operations blueprint assists all stakeholders to take up their respective roles and allows cooperation, countering the trend of isolated silos developing .
Centralised knowledge (in visual form) linked to documents may be selectively published to the enterprise on a daily basis. This implies a user friendly knowledge development platform that publishes to an enterprise portal, thereby allowing superior information availability to various organisation stakeholders.
Multi language modes support content in a multi language format.
Models are primarily based on graphical/schematic description, allowing for rapid and easy navigation and assimilation.
The search powers of the internet transfer the enterprise assisting support services to deliver knowledge and understanding to execution teams.
The P4Mine model makes provision for:
- Mine safety audits and reviews
- Information systems upgrades and Key Performance Indicators (KPI)
- Materials flow mapping and measure points
- Process flows and performance measures
- Stakeholder training
- Metals account management auditing and control
- Organisation structure and realignment
- Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) and process control systems documentation
- Operations geology, laboratory, mining, and minerals processes
- Maintenance processes and asset infrastructure
Our goal is to help you rapidly expose and solve hidden issues and raise the profile and effectiveness of people, processes and technologies in order to facilitate rapid change. Your hidden knowledge becomes the rational change agent in a sustainable manner.
