Mining Equipment Onboard Data & Access

1. Acquire unfettered read only access and use of owner/operator data onboard mining equipment

2. Identify and define equipment owner/operator data vs OEM/OTM IP algorithm data

3. Establishment agreement with OEM/OTM

4. Attain public technical access documentation

5. 2 surveys: surface and underground demonstrate this data issue is consistent and a continuing challenge

Onboard Technology & Connectivity

1. Establishment of onboard physical hardware and software connectivity standards or API definitions

2. The technology infrastructure standards or APIs by which owner/operator can access and integrate onboard systems and data

Project: Define and request customer API development from OEM/OTM to allow data to be displayed on generic monitor; case study analysis of success stories from other industries

Operational Safety and Risk Management: Leading Indicators • Handbook for implementing the ICMM Overview

Document • Standardized reporting of Leading Indicators • Corporate safety systems best practice guidelines • Investigating opportunities for global safety survey

• Meeting: Monday, May 6, 2-3 pm ▫ Project development

Underground Mining

0102030405060708090

What are your major challenges to accessing data across your underground operation(s)?

•Survey April 2013 •CIM, SME, AusIMM email •Response: 23

•Results: to determine projects focus for working group.

Meeting Tuesday, May 7, 1 – 4 MTCC

Situation Awareness • Analyze the effectiveness of information

delivery systems in mining equipment and develop a unified display design, to mitigate against the proliferation of screens within equipment cabs.

• Focus on shovel displays; expected to form the foundation for similar work with other equipment in the future.

Sept. 5-6, 2012

• Highland Valley Copper Mine - Teck near Kamloops, BC, Canada

• Goldstrike Mine - Barrick near Elko, NV, U.S.A.

• Interviewed 10 Shovel Operators • 3 on-the-job • 4 had ~15 years experience • 2 were new operators

• Visited 4 Shovels

• CAT/Bucyrus (495HR, …) • P&H (4100, 2800) • Observed the operating environment for environmental analysis

• Observed existing systems

• MMS, MotionMetrics, Wenco, CAT CAES, AccuWeigh, P&H/Bucyrus/Komatsu onboard systems, Cameras, Radios

Shovel UI layout – Virtual map & camera tabs

Operator feedback and UI adjustments

• Proposed shovel UI was presented to working group members- SME’s from OEMs/OTMs/mining • Two cognitive walkthroughs were conducted with shovel operators

• 12/04/2012 – Teck • 12/14/2012 – Barrick

• Feedback led to a few adjustments • Customizability • Access to performance statistics

Proof of concept: Common UI for Shovels

• Development resource

• Goal: access/manipulate independent data feeds for visualization on a single unified display

• Break-out group, GMSG Workshop, Wed, May 8, 8:30 - noon

Asset Management & Operations Data needs - operational KPIs

• Operational data requirements and common KPIs for operations

• Development of standard terminology and definitions

• Result: consensus definition for major KPIs and Mining terminology

• Break-out group, GMSG Workshop, Wed, May 8, 8:30 - noon

Priority Initiatives for 2013 • Mirror Committee: ISO TC 82 – Mining (CSA) ▫ Euro-centric: No Canadian, majority OEM ▫ Establish industry support and interest ▫ Fundraising ($80,000 - $100,00 annual)

▫ Input request: importance and priority?

• Other ISO Standards Initiatives: 55 000, TC 127, Autonomy, Automated Data Transfer, etc

• Caterpillar/Komatsu grassroots communications • GMSG Strategic Planning “Beyond 2014”
