the mine central control room: from concept to reality
DESCRIPTION
Presented at the 2013 Society of Mining, Metallurgy and Exploration Annual Meeting (SME 2013). The main concept of a central control room is the ability to gather and automatically transform information from different sources and mines into business decisions, centralizing and monitoring them from a single location. This central control room also acts as a complete repository of all business operations including mine planning, metrics, asset management, quality and process control, surveillance, sustainability data, emissions, energy efficiency projects, weather and more.TRANSCRIPT

The right information to the right people
C-level executives drive sustainability strategies efficiently, choosing best scenario that meets business objective and regulatory requirements to conserve enterprise-wide resources.
Functional managers can optimize operations, energy, and assets through smart analytical tools, at one or many sites.
Experts, on-site or remotely, can control process and network performance and ensure business continuity and power availability in real-time, while tracking energy consumption in a secure environment.
