Metals & Mining

We bring deep industry experience in implementation of latest Digital technologies for our customers in Metals & Mining

Digitalisation in mining refers to the use of computerised or digital devices or systems and digitised data that are to reduce costs, improve business productivity, and transform mining practices.

Mining supports approximately 45% of the world’s economic activities, making it a critical part of multiple production chains and hence a focus of massive investment, and a key growth driver for many countries.

A structured, disciplined, value-led digital strategy and its implementation in mining can bring optimization in areas of operation management, capacity enhancement, man-management, energy management, safety etc.

Innovations in Artificial intelligence (AI), Machine Learning and the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), Mobility Solutions are leading the pathway in this direction by automating the operation of machinery, facilitating predictive maintenance, improving traceability, harnessing the power of real-time data and analytics, and providing visibility across the entire value chain.

The rate at which digital improvements are introduced are unique to each organization depending on the organization’s appetite for sourcing, adapting, and embedding new technologies.

We bring deep insight into mining commodity like coal, iron ore and bauxite.

We help our customers in managing their production, optimizing production costs and handle change management. Our team of experts collect data from day-to-day activities, conduct baseline survey, identify value levers that can bring maximum impact and deliver solutions in line with global best practices and local infrastructure.

Traditionally, most of the technical, functional, administrative activities in mining are performed manually or with basic tools like excel. Our services include below aspects of Intelligent mining revolutionizing the industry for better results:

 

  • Selected processes are automated, with experiments in areas such as AL/ML, autonomous robotics / drones. We bring digitalization of manual processes and help customers create an ecosystem for digital business operations. This also helps in making an online repository of data is easy to analyze scientifically and bring out valuable insights for operations and safety.
  • Near or on-site connected operating centers facilitates a better control mechanism.
  • Employees are made aware and trained on how to use digital technologies. One of the major challenges is the profile of the new miner. Digitization implies a modernization and transformation of capital goods, but also of the personnel, who must modernize and adopt new skills in line with market changes. Our solutions encompass the workforce and culture change needed for lasting success.
  • Enabling decision making through real time data and role based dashboarding helps look deeper into trends and take proactive actions.
  • As a system integrator, we deliver unique value to those customers who have implemented localized digital solutions and are now looking to taking a more integrated approach. This is of specific value to customers who have integrated downstream units like ore processing plants or thermal based power plants. They need to boost efficiency, flexibility, and safety to survive in a world of growing economic, environmental, and regulatory pressures. To gain the visibility and control they need, they must push beyond single-site, “Industry 4.0” digitization efforts and optimize the entirety of their production, workforce and supply chain networks.
