Future Mining Solutions
As remote operations and automation transform mining, companies need to transform their critical systems
Accelerating demand from emerging economies, especially for base and precious metals, is sparking a wave of expansion in the mining industry. At the same time, many miners are also facing declining grades, decreasing reserves, and process bottlenecks that make it hard to ramp up production.
As mining companies look to do more with less and to capture market share at a time of rising prices, they face a host of complex challenges to sustainable growth, including:
- Energy and water availability and price volatility
- Political & regulatory compliance
- Challenging, remote geographies
- Pressure to reduce environmental impact
- Increasing costs
- Exceeding transportation costs & throughput bottlenecks
- Aging workforce, infrastructure, and assets
- Ensuring safety
Future Mining Solutions
To overcome these challenges and capture opportunity, a step change is required. Miners need to adopt future mining solutions that increase mine automation to reduce costs and optimize production, produce more detailed mine planning processes to obtain ever harder to mine ore bodies. Mining organizations around the world are looking to further optimize the complete mining value chain, and shift towards remote operations centers and invest in both information and operations technology to increase global coordination.
Ventyx solutions are at the heart of the future mine, enabling the productive convergence of information (IT) and operation (OT) technology to reduce costs, provide visibility into constraints and improve throughput, including:
- Asset health monitoring solutions to more proactively detect actual and predicted capacity loss based on real time condition monitoring data
- Smart tools to dynamically manage your operations to avoid potential bottlenecks
- Visualization technology to better understand the whole operation in real-time in centralized and remote control rooms
With Ventyx solutions, mining organizations can:
- Increase productivity and safety by analyzing machine health, process measures, operator fatigue, in real-time
- Manage the complete mining value chain, from exploration to outbound logistics and sales to increase operational effectiveness, workforce safety, environmental compliance and energy efficiency
- Manage large complex workforces, including recruiting, retaining and making best use of skilled labor
- Ensure all pertinent financial transactions are captured during an assets lifecycle, from asset creation or acquisition to commissioning and whole of life to final disposition and so provide a complete view of asset costs at any point in time
- Coordinate Operations and leverage key performance metrics across the enterprise and gain visibility across the mining value chain and across all work processes
At the forefront of the next mining technology revolution is the convergence of information technologies (IT) and operational technologies (OT), Ventyx is leading the mining industry from automation to real-time optimization – a transformation that will empower innovation for the mining industry, the markets they serve, and the environment. Ventyx has a long and deep history in providing enterprise business solutions, one that takes a whole-systems approach to enterprise asset health and technical mining operations
