Typical mining OT Application Landscape – SWOT Analysis
3
⁻ Multiple Vendors and multiple Applications
⁻ Functional Overlapping between applications
⁻ Non standard & site specific system implementation
⁻ Users have to navigate between systems for required
information
⁻ Data aggregation from different sources time consuming, error
prone and complex
⁻ Non availability of an Enterprise Data Warehouse and
collaborative planning & decision making.
⁻ Non availability of group level reporting for supply chain
monitoring, performance bench marking and comparing
performance against competitors
⁺ Infrastructure availability has substantially improved over the
years
⁺ System stability and reliability has become reasonable
⁺ User maturity level has become realistic over time
⁺ Most COTS applications in the landscape are SOA ready
⁺ Centralized view of data at the corporate level
⁺ Integration of data from various sources and without COTS
system vendor involvement
⁺ Single source of data for all requirements including analytics and
collaboration
⁺ Data quality by standardizing the ETL process across sites
⁺ Provide users an ability to complete ad hoc reporting on reliable
data source to help explore the “unknowns” within the business
⁻ Increasing cost of system upgrades and adding new
functionality to existing systems
⁻ Increasing risk of falling behind the competitors in the ability to
measure and monitor supply chain performance due to lack of
integration between the applications
⁻ Increasing risk of inability to create a performance benchmark
against competitor and industry standard due to lack of
integrated information from various sites
⁻ Loss of agility due to non existence of a common collaboration
platform

4. How an integrated Production Dashboard can help mining clients

What HowWhy Who & When
Plan, Track & Trace Horizontal
DrillDown
Navigate across the mining value chain to
understand and respond to
what; why; how; who & when
Drill down along the
vertical to reveal the
specific detail within
the value chain.
An integrated production dashboard helps in revealing the full story lines for the problem areas and issues by linking activities across the enterprise
with sufficiently large details across any vertical area within value chain in an intuitive user interface and in real time. Integrated production dash
board helps encourage a collaborative planning and operations monitoring environment.

Resource Hierarchy
Different hierarchies of enterprise objects are made which relate to each other - for example, in different areas of production, particular activities will
occur which in turn consume specific resources. In other words different hierarchies correspond to each other

Production Dashboard
What it is
A structured database with a relational model that
supports the entire display and report-ability to manage
continuous operations
An unstructured database for direct data storage
and unprocessed "raw" from relevant sources that allows
applying big data techniques (optimization, predictive
modeling, simulation, data mining, statistics minimum) in
order to have greater understanding and knowledge of the
operations behavior and identify patterns to be prepared
for unwanted situations or exploiting opportunities for top
performers.
Data integration and services based on a SOA
like architecture that facilitates access from this
system to systems data sources of unit operations.
Intelligent layer based on simulation engine,
predictability, and optimization, to support daily
operational decision making in a timely manner to
synchronize each of the roles of value chain on real-time
and based on aggregate information and/or filtered.
A platform to include support for Collaborative
Planningand forms the foundation bolt for
Remote Operations Center.

Production Dashboard can have three major gears namely Global Monitoring, Coordination Support, Decision Support System & Collaboration
Platform. The Production Dashboard is intended to provide information services across the mining value chain supported up by a collaboration
platform to enable a collaborative planning & operations management scenario for a mining client.

9. Production Dashboard
Framework Explained Non - Exhaustive
Overview of the process flow sheet of Mine Management, considering external constraint conditions (Ground, Geo mechanics), as well as KPI.
Process Coordinator
Overview of deliveries to plant,
extraction, flows in stages,
production losses, and delays of
equipment in stages and sectors
Planner
Access to planning , infrastructure (roads,
sprints, routes and tracks), and equipment,
delays in process, planned arrests and plant
status
Maintenance Coordinator
Equipment and infrastructure status
and detentions scheduled, matrixes
maintenance plans, and
implementing recommendation.
Administrator
Center staff management
(attendance, incentives,
performance agreements),
budget, and monthly
indicators
Overview of current state for extraction, processing and loading, management of extraction points, loading and reduction systems
Overview of current state of fleet, real-time haulage and stockpile management
Overview of current state and management of stockpiles, load out bins and TLO operations management
Process Co-ordination
• Collaborative Planning System for the shift
/ day / month, in order to analyze and
evaluate options.
• Redefinition of activities through the
stages of the process from point of
disruption so as to keep the system
balanced and optimized
Production Co-ordination
• Assessment of extraction
point change and to
interference proceedings;
Dispatch Co-ordination
• synchronization algorithm for
the system Interflow and the
productive sectors to
prioritize the sequence level
trips, projected time, Peak
and filling and emptying of
pits;
Transportation Co-ordination
• Enabling dispatch
algorithms to fulfill plant
requirements and
sustaining KPIs to meet
• Provide viewing portals for each role, which contains the information required to enable them to meet their goals and monitor their KPI
• Generate and maintain the information required by each of the "collaborative events" identified for field teams.
• Build a knowledge base (and maintain traceability from types of decisions) with the business rules applied to operational decisions with a corresponding
impact and outcome.
• Provide viewing portals for each role, which contains the information required to enable them to meet their goals and monitor their KPI.

10. Production Dashboard
Technology View
Real time KPIs offering a comparison of the actual respect of schedule (actual vs. plan / budget )
Out of the box connectors to obtain information from multiple sources and add it to the Integrated
efficiently and timely
Module that allows validation and error filtering incoming information to the Integrated System
Information aggregation available on systems relevant to the mining operation (Drill & Blast ,
Hauling , Processing, Logistics Management ) across client mining OT application stack.
Integrated global user Interface and work flows that enables collaborative planning and
decision making. Localized interfaces and work flows that integrates to take care of site specific
requirements
Integrated visualization layer to present an overview of the state of the process across
enterprise, which will be used to monitor overall progress and status of the integrated operations by
the system
Intuitive interfaces that require minimal or zero learning time for end users.

11. How an integrated Production Dashboard creates value
Mining Context
Improved data integrity and make data more accessible for timely and
accurate decision making at all levels and across the enterprise value chain.
Fewer man hours required to produce reports and that allows personnel to focus
on more value added activities for the organization.
Maximize sales opportunities by effective supply chain measurement and
evaluation that leads to further sales capitalization
Minimize vessel delays and demurrage through enhanced supply chain
measurement and evaluation
Improved transparency and data gate keeping since the operations reports
will be produced at a single layer rather than from multiple systems across sites.
Ability to monitor and benchmark against the performance of competitors
and the overall industry in key performance metrics

12. How an integrated Production Dashboard creates value

•Increased Revenues due to collaborative planning & Management
Intangible Benefits
•Ability to benchmark performance against competitors and industry standard
