What’s Needed To Boost Mining Productivity?

By

A recent McKinsey & Company report “Productivity at the mine face: Pointing the way forward”, finds that while there are some signs of life in the industry, it fundamentally remains challenged due to slower demand growth and over-capacity. After examining what mines are doing to become more productive, it outlines what can be done to improve performance:

•    Embed effective management operating systems – Create greater transparency on operations performance and identify areas for improvement.
•    Prioritize operational excellence and capabilities development – embed manufacturing-type systems and continuous improvement initiatives.
•    Focus on innovation – Digitalization that enables new insights such as when a piece of equipment may fail.
•    Real-time data and better analytical engines – enhance scheduling and processing approaches.

Dassault Systèmes provides all of these capabilities and more. Based on our experience enabling companies to make significant business transformations in 11 industries, we know that miners can make rapid improvements that will stabilize their operating processes, leading to enterprise-wide agility.

Join us at MINExpo at booth #2453 and learn how our technology can help. Here’s what you can experience:

•    Explore beneath the surface in our immersive virtual mine.
•    Advanced technology demo areas:
– Model and Design – Engineered for value
– Simulate – Experience it before you do it
– Collaborate – Shared intelligence and unified innovation
– Execute and Monitor – Live performance decision-making

•    Innovation Theater – Hear about industry trends and discover new technology innovations

At our innovation theater, discover the world of the virtual mine. The future of mining is highly visual, data-driven and will be immersive, where people work together in virtual worlds to drive new levels of productivity and discover new innovations that will transform their businesses.

The Virtual Mine will be a platform for innovation by being the environment to try out innovative, perhaps challenging ideas that would never be explored in real life due to risk or cost of failure. It offers immersive, 3D simulation which allow all ideas, small and large, to be explored, so they can be proved and improved upon before being implemented in the real world. It will provide access to all data, from every mining operation. This “big data” will be analyzable to yield patterns, trends, new ideas and game-changing improvements that could not otherwise be discovered. With the Virtual Mine comes full control over all aspects of your business as vital data is available, coming from processes that are consistently executed and fully understood. Come and experience the virtual mine at MINExpo 2016!
