Transformation of the mining industry into a high tech industry

Almost everyone has this picture of a miner in his/her head: hard working men, with a pick overthe shoulder and a dirty face in a dangerous work environment. Its time to rethink this picture.

The mining industry is going through a huge transformation as it enters the digital age.

Low commodity prices that have dropped almost 50% below recent peaks, and the shortage ofskilled workers is accelerating this transformation.1 High capital spend and decreasing gradeshave led to an increasing productivity gap compared to other manufacturing industries likeautomotive, where productivity gains have been largely driven by automation. Research shows3.5% drop in productivity per year in the last decade.2

Despite these challenges, there are big opportunities. In fact, theres a huge ore body thats stillunmined. Less than 1% of all data collected in mining companies is used.3 Leading miningcompanies that are trailblazing the future understand this very well. With digital technology, theare tapping into that remaining 99% to mine smarter, not harder.

Successful leaders look beyond legacy business processes to make use of the newesttechnologies in Big Data, the Internet of Things (IoT), mobility, autonomy, geo-sensing,analytics, and even 3D printing. These technologies are not only game changers they willbecome a necessity for survival with gains in operational efficiencies from automation and real-time planning, to total workforce management, and much more.

Every CEO we speak to sees digital technology as a key enabler in reinventing business processand redefining work in their enterprises. In fact, 10 of the worlds top mining companies see BData analytics as one of the game-changing technologies that will transform the industry ithe next 5-10 years.4 We couldnt agree more.

The industry realized it needs to mine smarter, not harder, in order to: Make better real-time, data-driven decisions Make operations more automated, predictable, and agile Transform traditional labor workers into knowledge workers

Its time to act, innovate, and leverage digital connectivity to mine smarter, not harder.

We respectfully invite you to join this conversation. We have invested our best minds to provideyou with what we believe is an inspiring point of view of where the industry is going and how oursolutions can help in the digital transformation to the digital mining enterprise. We are devote

to helping the world run better and improving peoples lives. Safe, sustainable, and profitablemine operations are at the very center of this vision.

Thank you for your interest, and we look forward to your feedback.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Big picture: The digital economy is real and its here to stay What you need to know to be prepared

There are five key technology trends shaping the digital economy hyper-connectivity, super computing, cloud computing, cybersecurity, and a smarter worldfocused on outcomes. Investing in IT solutions that support these goals is critical tokeeping up with the rapidly changing industry.

How are mining companies using technology to drive efficiency?Digital leaders in the mining industry are leveraging data streaming from smartdevices and embedded software for smarter decision making. Spatial productionmonitoring systems incorporating inputs from mine planning, mineral resourcemanagement, ventilation, safety, rock engineering, and other sources with ERPintegration can improve forecast accuracy significantly.

How will my employees benefit from the digital world?Low worker productivity is often caused by technology challenges such as hard-to-use interfaces, lack of integrated systems, software that is too complex, andexcessive time spent on compliance topics.

Once we invest in the right technologies, how do we drive adoption?Employees dont want to read manuals or attend lengthy training session to learn howto use new systems. Instead, they want a solution that is intuitive, simple, and visual,similar to the consumer applications used in their personal lives. Implementedtechnology must included 3D graphics and be visually captivating in order for it tothoroughly be adopted.

What will it take to win in this newly digitized industry?Companies that embrace the digital world and execute on their digital strategy are

growing shareholder and stakeholder value. Value creation is significant, with +9%revenue creation, +26% impact to profitability, and +12% market valuation.5

Digital businessmodels are disruptive.The rules have changed.

The benchmark S&P/TSX GlobalMining Index has fallen 65% since20106.

Mine productivity has declined by28% in the last decade7

On average, companies spend 3% ofrevenue on IT. Energy and naturalresources companies lag far behindwith an average of 1%8

Ten of the worlds top mining

companies put Big Data analytics atthe top of a list of what miningcompanies see as the game-changing

technologies that will transform theindustry in the next 5-10 years9

THREE IMPERATIVES FOR THEMINING INDUSTRY

The key to staying relevant in mining is to imagine new businessmodels and constantly seek out and leverage new business andtechnology concepts. Be a leader in reinventing and digitizing the business

Provide simple user interfaces connecting all relevant information in one placeto push productivity Digitize collaboration with customers, suppliers, and the workforce

Our industry is damned by the fact that our spending on innovation, research, and development is one-tenth that of the petroleumindustry. If we dont start to bring innovation backthe major diversified companies will be subsidiaries of General Electric or someother conglomerate that has still got innovation in their vocabulary.10

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Transformation drivers

The mining industry is transforming at anincreasing speed, driven by Productivity: High capital intensity continues

to drive the need to increase productivity andthe use of and search for new technologies indrilling, blasting, and hauling.

Automation: From monitoring sensors andpredicting machine behavior to driverlesstrucks and trains, automation will drive thedigital mine. This will reduce costs and help

minimize delays caused by labor shortages atthe many sites in remote locations. Technology innovation: New technologies

such as sensors and wireless devices willbecome more affordable, while existingtechnologies, such as gaming software, willfind new use cases, including simulation andtraining.

Compliance: Growing environment, health,and safety regulations demand sustainable,ecological, and safe mining operations.

Environmental Factors. Water: Stricter regulations about water

usage are impacting finances and even thefuture viability of mines in many regions

De-carbonization: Renewable energy willreplace fossil and nuclear fuels, helping todefer the ever-increasing variable cost ofenergy

Cybersecurity: Protecting sensitive systems ismore and more important as the real-timedigital mining enterprise becomes anattractive target for cyber criminals.

The digital mining enterprise

Mining companies have been traditionally beendriven by output volume. However, this is nolonger sufficient, and many are aiming to design

a system that better balances demand withproduction, focuses on profitability, and can alsoyield a more efficient operations and controlsystem. This transformation requires real-timedigital information and control in a digital miningenterprise.

The average capitalintensity for a newcopper mine in 2000was $4,000-$5,000per annual ton ofproduction. Today,capital intensity is over$10,000 per ton onaverage for newcopper mines.11

The variable cost ofenergy in the miningindustry has morethan doubled in the last20 years from anaverage of 22% in 1995to 50% in 2010.12

84% of mining CEOsare concerned aboutchanges in regulationsdisrupting theirbusiness.13

Production of certainmajor commoditieshas expanded by 50%or more over the pastdecade.14

New business models

Mining companies use the transformationdrivers to reimagine business models, businessprocesses, and job descriptions. Making mining more predictable: As the

mining ecosystem is becoming digitallyconnected, mines and their internaldepartments, vendors, shippers, andcustomers collaborate digitally and exchangedocuments. Collecting data from equipmentand combining it with demand and supply data

from competitors can help mining companiesmore accurately predict production and salesand how these are impacted by the variousfactors. This will help to move to an agile andmore demand-driven production model.

Collaboration will strengthen relationshipscritical for sustaining high customersatisfaction and retention rates. Using digitizedinformation, mining companies can provideadditional services and models based oncustomers individualized needs, such as new

transportation methods or detailed trackinginformation. Mining companies cancollaborate with one another to offercustomers blended grades they would not beable to offer by themselves.

Robots and automation allow mining in areasthat were previously inaccessible, like Arcticand underwater mining. In traditional mines, itwill make work safer and more productive.

Investments and divestures of assets can bemanaged across a portfolio to mitigate shortand long-term risk and improve profitability.Analyzing financial data on individual projectswill allow mining companies to buy or sellprojects as necessary to optimize revenue andmaintain focus on core competencies.

Value chains will change so that non-value-added tasks are moved more and more to

contractors. Three-dimensional printing willreduce the bounded capital and allow fasterand cheaper supply of parts.

The future: Mining companies are becoming connected, digital enterprises

85% of organizations in the ENR sector believe that the ability to manage andanalyze Big Data is critical for them to meet their strategic objectives.15

REIMAGINING

Do you have the right strategy? Start by reimagining yourmining company with business outcomes and customers at thecenter.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

REIMAGINEBUSINESS PROCESSESThe need to improve productivity drives changes tobusiness processes. Digital technology enablesbusiness process efficiency and innovation thatinspire new business approaches and accelerateefficiency and safety gains from the pit to the port.

REIMAGINEWORKPeople remain a crucial aspect of a successful mine,with recruitment, retention, and productivity keyfocus areas. Many tasks will become automated, butpeople will be an even greater asset in ensuring the

success of the mine as their roles change. Geo-sensing, automation, wearable technology, userinterfaces, virtual reality, and 3D simulations are newtechnologies that will impact mining employees in thefuture, so they can focus on their work rather than onbridging process inefficiencies.

REIMAGINEBUSINESS MODELSCompetitive advantage is driven by expandingbeyond traditional industry boundaries andtransforming to a real-time and collaborative

organization. We see three types of emergingbusiness models: Making mining more predictable and agile Collaboration across mine sites, departments, and

with suppliers and customers to work holisticallywhen issues arise

Increased automation with robot mining and smartequipment enables mining in even harsherenvironments and the development of new miningdesigns

PLATFORM

Do you have the right platform? Leaders are investing in digitcapabilities that are congruent with their strategy. The righttechnologies ensure agility and a rich environment forinnovation.

SAPs digital business framework is based on the five keypillars of a digital plan and architecture:1. Supplier collaboration across all spend categories

(product, services, and T&E)2. Internet of Things and Big Data to drive real-time insight

and new business models3. Workforce engagement, including employees andcontractors

4. Core business processes (finance, supply chain, R&D,manufacturing, )

5. Digital mine to converge OT and IT and gain insights into operations across the enterprise

Return on investment (ROI) drives this significant phase othe transition to digital. Its not about any one of the five pillarbut rather how they all interconnect to achieve businessoutcomes.

Road map to Run Simple: Steps to digitizing your business

We apply Design Thinking as a our key approach to the reimagining phase. Design Thinking can be described as adiscipline that uses the designers sensibility and methods to match peoples needs with what is technologicallyfeasible and what a viable business strategy can convert into customer value and market opportunity.16

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

We are witnessing an unmatched era of true business innovation. Breakthrough technologies havematured and hit scale together, enabling five defining trends:

Fundamental changes: Five technology trends changing everything

Every business partner and every machine is connected and willallow better collaboration and data collection for miners as abasis for agile production and customer interaction.

HYPERCONNECTIVITY

The limits of 20th century computing power are gone.Networking and in-memory computing allow organizations tomake use of the data already being collected from miningoperational equipment and put this data to use for betterprediction and analytics.

SUPER COMPUTING

Technology adoption and business innovation now move at

lightening speed. Technology infrastructure is rented toeliminate barriers to entry. B2B transactions are moving to newcloud-based collaboration platforms, where mining companiescan interact directly with suppliers, communities, andcustomers.

CLOUD COMPUTING

Sensors, robotics, drones, 3D printing, and artificial intelligenceare the new normal. This will allow for increased automation inareas which would not have been imagined by mining companiesjust a few years ago.6

With the challenges at hand andtechnology becoming available, miningcompanies have to adapt their businessand operation models to staycompetitive.

Make mining more predictable:Consider external factors likedemand, weather, competitors, andsupplies and combine this withinternal factors like predicted assetfailure to become more agile andchange to demand-driven production

Collaborate and use businessnetworks across the entire mineecosystem to streamline dataexchanges and decision making andbecome more agile

New approaches in minedevelopments, including fullyremotely operated mines, that bettersupport the remote nature of somelocations rather than just transferringthe same approaches from lesscomplex mine developments

Embracing new technology and

driving automation faster than in thepast to make production moreefficient. Precision mining is just oneexample to target the ore body betterand reduce tons of waste moved

Employer of choice status goes beyonrecruitment and retention tofundamentally revolutionizing the waypeople engage.

Digitize back-office processes byeliminating manual steps in (e.g.,invoice and payment processing)

Change work conditions by movingmore labor from mines to remotecontrol centers and using self-learning and predictive operationalsystems

Share knowledge easier as supporon-demand tools for the entireworkforce become available in realtime

Implement simplified userinterfaces and virtual reality toimprove user experiences, includingvoice recognition, visualization, andgaming

Increase communication andinformation sharing within theworkforce and with outsidecommunities through social and

broadcasting networks Manage a contingent workforce to

ensure contract workers receive thesame training, meet the samequalifications, and hold the samecertifications as employees. Thisensures quality standardizationacross the workforce while allowingscheduling flexibility and maximizinprofitability

Mining companies reimagine their entire business to stay successful by becoming digital miningenterprises. This reimagining applies to business models and processes as well as the work itself.

REIMAGINE BUSINESS MODELS


Cost pressure, de-carbonization, regulations, financial markets, and digitization challenge establishedbusiness models within the mining industry.

Current trends paint a picture of the future of the miningindustry. New business models include: Making mining more predictable: Predicting asset failures

and avoiding them is a first step. This then must be combinedwith external factors, such as weather and demand, to vastlyimprove production forecasting and decrease the costsassociated with uncertainty. Sensing ore grades directly atthe shuffle and hardness of the rocks to determine drillingspeed will change how mines operate. They will become moreagile and flexible so as to make adjustments according todemand. This necessitates a move from traditional miningpractices toward a more modern manufacturing model withadvanced forecasting models. Simulations and gametechnology will help organizations make better investmentsand operative decisions and prepare for demand swings

Collaboration: This includes collaboration with customers to

provide better information about shipment status in realtime, handling of spot sales on electronic platforms, and alsointernal collaboration to improve mining processes, fromplanning to execution with vendors and contractors.Collaboration with other mining companies for blendedproducts provides an opportunity to sell to a wider customerbase that wouldnt be reached with the single grade offering.Business networks facilitate collaboration, sharing data andexchanging business transactions, and covering aspectsfrom procurement, sales, workforce management, andequipment management

New approaches to mine development: Aside fromunchartered territories like underwater mining with robots,alternative approaches have to be considered for new mine

developments in remote areas. Simply transferring conceptsfrom less complex locations will not be sufficient. Newapproaches with holistic end-to-end methods need to be

developed, for example, in site design and planning, and inenergy use and management, including fuel, renewableenergy, electrical vehicles, and hybrids. Mines operating fulremotely are no longer out of the question

Automation in operations Autonomous fleets and trains are becoming mainstream

but automation and robot mining will also allow mining iareas where it was not possible before, such asunderwater or in very harsh environments. Mine workerexposure to hazardous conditions will also be reduced,ultimately improving safety

Detecting waste before it gets moved by truck will lead tmore efficient use of trucks

Use of drones can provide real-time updates onproduction progress, stockpile sizes, and composition,and deliver a level of accuracy in geospatial information

that has not been seen before. This will also generatelarge amounts of data to be analyzed for trends andinsights

Production may evolve into models seen in the oil and gindustry, where contractors take responsibility for thecomplete business process in the production

Energy-saving technologies in mine transportation andrenewable energy will reduce the need for fuel and itsexpensive transport to remote locations

The definition of non-value added tasks will change. Motasks will be taken over by contractors, and mineoperators will have to manage and synchronize theseworkers along their own employees

RIO TINTOS CERRO VERDE MINE

Hauling rock around accounts for half of Cerro Verde mining costs, so it bought and programmed trucks andsoftware to run a relatively small number of trucks more frequently. Monitoring software quickly spots problemsin trucks and shovels, allowing them to be repaired before they have to be replaced, saving money. 6

REIMAGINE BUSINESS PROCESSES

The rise of digital technology enables the digital mining enterprise by transforming business processes tomake mining more efficient, innovative, and safer.


Codelco equips underground workers with bionicjackets containing safety sensors, enabling trackof physical location and monitoring environmentafactors such as light, sound, and oxygen.18

Anglo Gold Ashanti, a global gold mining companyoperating in 11 countries, is using precision-miningtechnology, to mine only high-grade ores. Theyre notwasting time digging for and transporting low-grade ore.17

Smarter mine modelling

Seismic and predictive geomodeling and analytics with datafrom sensors will allow for smarter mining. Real-timecalculation of reserves will improve the accuracy and speed ofcommunication to stakeholders to help make quick andinformed decisions about whether to move forward with adevelopment project.

Predictable operations

Real-time planning and scheduling, where real-time alerts andinformation from various stakeholders like production,maintenance, contractors, and the equipment itself reduceunexpected disruptions and allow for better execution. Withprecision mining, grades and digging speeds can be determinedat the shovel and can influence planning in real time to

continuously predict output for the shift and day. Real-timecommunication from vehicle to vehicle will synchronize themfor better utilization.

Predictive maintenance completely reinvents the way assethealth is monitored and maintenance and exchange of assetsare planned. Sensors monitor all relevant plant assets and helppredict the optimal time and sequence formaintenance/exchange of assets.

Increased collaboration with equipment manufacturers thoughthe SAP Asset Intelligence Network allows seamless access andfeedback back and forth, while keeping data accurate.

SustainabilityRenewable sources of energy will be build natively into thedesign of new mines and achieving water and powerconsumption reduction goals will be supported by accurateand real-time metering and analytics tools.

The new smart technologies transform and create newbusiness processes.

Agile supply chain

Inventory optimization for spare parts and stock piles willreduce bound capital. Three-dimensional printing of spareparts has the potential to significantly reduce inventory, theassociated capital, and idle time, as no wait time for deliveriesneeded. Lower cost for shipping inventory to remote sitesprovides additional savings.

In the past, supply chain coordination could be done withtelephones. Now, with more cost pressure, the availability ofnew technologies, and the need to offer more variety ofshipping terms, collaboration and better planning of the supp

chain become imperative. More demand-driven production wpotentially reduce price fluctuation.

Procurement and asset management through businessnetworks will automate many paper-based processes and runoperations much smoother.

Advanced analytics and benchmarking

Real-time analytics and benchmarking can identify the true codrivers and find correlations between factors in a way that hasnot been possible before, thereby improving decision makingCompanies can more easily compare equipment and determireliability factors. Analytics will present actionable data tooperators to provide further decision support. Having one

source of data across the enterprise enables improvedcollaboration between various departments.

Combining structured with unstructured data can provide newinsights, from the impact of social sentiment on production aexploration, to factors impacting sales.

The fundamental transformation from a manual, labor-intensive industry to a digital mining enterpriseprofoundly changes what people do, how they learn, interact, and grow.

REIMAGINE WORK

Remember the picture of the hard-working miner with a pickover his shoulder? This picture is becoming a thing of the past.Miners work will be easier, safer, and much more technology-driven, but transitioning peoples mindset into the new age isequally important.

Back-office business processes will be fully digitized; manualsteps in procurement, inventory management, invoicing, andpayment processing are replaced by smart digital processesthat have access to real-time analytics to support rule-baseddecision making.

The work conditions will change. Business processes andlabor will move from mine sites to (remote) control centers,ultimately making the work environment safer. Digitization ofsafety systems und deploying of wearable devices will make

tracking and evacuation much faster. Operational processeswill be supported or controlled by predictive and self-learningsystems that interact with machines.

Enterprise knowledge becomes digital as business processesand decisions move to the machine. People who need theknowledge have digital access on demand and in real time,regardless of whether they are part of the core or the extendedworkforce.

New user interfaces will make much more use of images andpictures in place of words. Voice and gesture recognition willmake using software easier and safer on mobile devices. Virtualreality and 3D imaging and modelling will be common and

reflect the transition of peoples roles from transaction workersto exception workers, who engage when the digital rulebookneeds human creativity.

People continue to be key assets in the digital mini

enterprise. Their roles will change, but their value

within the network will grow.


New people interactions will develop between the core,extended workforce, and with the public over social andbroadcasting networks. Real-time digital information on theright devices is critical to advance the business agenda witheach interaction between people.

Total workforce management systems are needed to ensure workers meet consistent quality standards to streamlinescheduling and easily track employees across locations,improving the health and safety of the entire team.

PanAust provided easy-to-use interfaces using SAP Fiori, with near-zero training required for senior managers and non-English-speaking employees in Laos across purchasing, maintenance, and HR departments. SAP Fiori increased user acceptance andsatisfaction, reduced training costs, and provides a powerful reporting and analytics platform.19

WORKFORCE ENGAGEMENT

Complexity is the enemy of workforce engagement. People areworking as hard as ever but not necessarily accomplishing more.People need access to smart, consumer-grade technology to workfaster, better, and more efficiently. Organizational complexity isdriving costs up and slowing down progress. Three forces need to beaddressed:

Changing of the guard

Over 50% of the workforce will be millennials by 2020.22 Mining companies haveto devise a workforce strategy to make work in this industry attractive for the

digital generation, especially since a large portion of the current workforce willretire by 2025.

Contingent labor is on the rise

Companies are turning more and more to contractors and services providers todrive agility, lower fixed costs, and also fill skilled labor shortages. Miningcompanies can outsource work, but not the responsibility for safe and compliantoperations. The contingent workforce must be digitally integrated into all businessprocesses.

Complexity is on the rise

Regulations and complex new technologies are changing how work is done and thekind of knowledge workers have to acquire. Simplifying worker-machineinteractions and user interfaces will increase safety and reduce complexity.

Improve your total workforce productivity: Simplify with SAP

~40%of the resource extraction industrysworkforce in Canada is at least 50 years oldand one-third is expected to retire by 2022

BUSINESS NETWORKS AND SUPPLIER COLLABORATION

SAP S/4HANA gives you incredible capabilities to digitize processes across your business and the connectivity to the businessnetwork allows you to extend those processes beyond the four walls of your business. Solution already at scale and covers all spend categories (direct and indirect material, labor and services, travel and expenses) Business networks operate on a global basis, meet data security standards, and operate with near zero downtime Extensive offering by leveraging services from many partners such as supply chain, financing, payment, supplier certification, etc

Collaboration across all spend categories will change the nature of howcompanies outsource, acquire products and services, and drive value creationacross the entire value chain. Several trends are redefining the game:

Business connectivity at scaleWhen businesses small and large are connected in the millions, the transactional platformbecomes the de facto standard for business networks. This is already a reality (examples: Ariba,Concur, Alibaba)

B2B collaboration by categoryAcquiring products and services, or booking travel requires a set of open standards for

business and technology terminology so organizations can collaborate. Those standards arenow set and operational.

Consumer buying experienceWithout a consumer-grade experience at work, users will work around the system, negating thevalue of negotiated contracts and driving maverick spending.

Network of networksCompanies are looking at end-to-end services like digital payment and invoice processing, assetmanagement, travel booking, supplier certification, global business yellow-pages, etc. This is allpossible as business networks like Ariba are aggregating the services into a one-stop shop.

INTERNET OF THINGS AND BIG DATA

With SAP HANA platform, Internet of Things (IoT) edition, organizations can now take embedded device data, analyze this data intoinformation in real time, and apply the information across the value chain to drive business insights and create new business models.The Internet of Things platform provides the connectivity to OT systems either directly or via partners like OSISoft. The data is storedand processed in the platform, which provides basic functions like data services, predictive analytics, and others. Based on this platforSAP, partners, and customers develop applications that enable mining use cases, such as predictive maintenance or connectedlogistics.

Utilities are finally understanding the full potential of the interlock betweenphysical and digital assets and the Internet of Things. We are witnessing newuse cases across utilities with breathtaking results. Below are some key trends:

Data-driven business models

The transformation in the mining industry is enabled by Big Data technology and thecomputing power to process massive amounts of data in real time.Sensor and meter technology is not only collecting those big amounts of data, but it will alsotransform business processes and how organization use that data along the complete valuechain in mining and processing.

Technology-driven supplier engagement and engineering

Equipment suppliers and their services and engineering groups are spending more and moreon Big Data and sensor technologies, as their functions are the most transformed by thesenew technologies. Mining companies will be able to collaborate with them directly.

New alliances

Seamless collaborations around new business models involving partnerships that may nothave made sense few years back are now possible. Examples include partnerships betweentransportation providers and satellite/weather companies, between Cisco and Caterpillar,and many others.

Connect, transform, and reimagine with SAP

The most dramatic change in the digital economy will be driven by hyperconnectivity andbig data science. These will transform nearly every business model.

HOW DOES IT ALL COME TOGETHER? EXAMPLE

The process flow shown on this page portrays how leaders inthe mining business can better integrate their OT and ITtechnologies to increase productivity. OT is the operationaltechnology that manages mining-specific requirements(geological modelling, fleets, etc.), while IT represents thebusiness systems that allow management of the businessprocesses (finance, procurement, HR/payroll, maintenance,etc.). These two technology platforms are typically owned andoperated by two different parts of the business. In the newdigital mining era, value will come from the interoperability ofthese environments.

The scenario above shows how sensors (placed on equipmentlike shuffles, trucks, drones) and Big Data coming from the OTworld will be leveraged by the IT world to drive next-generationbest practices in mine management.

While the five digital business pillars deliver significant value as a stand-alone capability, the ultimate goal is todesign the next generation of business processes that will span across all the digital pillars. Mine planning,execution, and analytics will become real time and have to be aligned with the corporate strategy.

The real-time nature of ore grade sensing, geospatialinformation, and equipment synchronizing will change howpeople work, how automation increases productivity andreduces operational costs, and how our business partners areintegrated in real time.

The benefits of this scenario are significant: Higher return on assets by using optimal maintenance

strategies Safer operations due to the ability to monitor current

situations and send immediate alerts Fewer unplanned outages because of a preventive-predicti

maintenance approach Increased productivity and user acceptance, and reduced

training costs from simple user interfaces Increased data accuracy through exact measurements rath

than estimates; immediate data availability

Real-time mine planning, execution, and analytics in the future
