Working capital & inventory
Operational optimisation
Working capital & inventory
We help our customers optimise their working capital by integrating ERP data from different sites into a single system, at the lowest level of granularity (item transactional level). To achieve this, we apply a model that provides a unified view of stock and inventory over the entire business. This is a prerequisite to managing working capital.

Predictive downtime & maintenance
Operational optimisation
Predictive downtime & maintenance
Equipment downtime is one of the main factors impacting throughput and revenue. Advanced machine learning methods can predict with high accuracy when equipment is likely to fail and needs to be serviced. Maintenance can then be better planned to minimise impacts on the operation.
-
Drill & blast
Operational optimisation
Drill & blast
Drill & blast is the first stage in metal production and impacts all processes downstream. We can help our customers better characterise their ore running through the mills. That then helps them understand how they can best drill and blast their ore to achieve optimal fragmentation to achieve optimal throughput.

For example, allowing you to answer questions such as "what is the impact of increasing the speed limit in a pit? How will this increase cycle time? How will it increase tyre wear? Can our mills handle the extra ore? Or should we buy a new truck?"
