clients transition to a greener way of operating , the company has added battery-electric vehicle capabilities to its haulage simulation tool , HAULSIM , enabling miners to optimise equipment and road networks to minimise energy use for a more sustainable operation .
At the same time , RPMGlobal ’ s Consulting & Advisory team will be able to update attendees on the company ’ s strengthened environmental , social and governance ( ESG ) services following the recent acquisition of Nitro Solutions .
“ The company is accelerating its vision of becoming the go-to company for ESG within mining , with RPMGlobal bringing together its ESG , mining advisory and technology offering to support mining clients in developing their ongoing closure plans and estimates ,” RPM said .
Having launched its flagship product , SourceOne™ , at the SME show in February 2020 , Eclipse Mining Technologies will use its MINExpo debut to highlight how the “ first and only open data platform of its kind ” is meeting the mining industry ’ s needs while still allowing the use of legacy software .
“ With infinite amounts of data processed each day , mining organisations need a modern and intuitive open data platform ,” Eclipse said . “ One that manages risk and facilitates better connectivity , systems integration , collaborative remote work in near real time , and the adoption of advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence and machine learning .”
The SourceOne platform increases the productivity of a mine ’ s value chain by , the company says , delivering integrated contextual data from all critical inputs through collaborative automated processes the customer defines , allowing them to make strategic decisions in near real time to achieve their goals .
Connected departments and teams working in collaborative and standardised processes , sharing critical information over SourceOne ’ s common platform , decrease the time spent transferring large amounts of data between disconnected individual technologies , according to the company . Teams can analyse integrated , meaningful data for predictive planning while having reliable access to their work files , notifying stakeholders and avoiding erroneous data or outdated versions .
“ Attribution gives your data the context you need to generate actionable insights , understand data provenance and identify trends ,” Eclipse said . “ Each piece of data is stored in the SourceOne industry platform with its unique characteristics , making it easy for you to search or collate the information you need for reports and workflows .”
SourceOne integrates and validates data from multiple applications or product line platforms – no matter the origin or format – breaking down traditional barriers , according to the company . “ With this platform , you no longer have to spend time collecting data from various siloed sources or deal with human or vendor errors ,” the company said . “ All your data is available through a centralised dashboard , creating the
most efficient system for collaborating with and unifying your team while measuring critical key performance indicators for improving the productivity of the mine .”
SourceOne also allows customers to automate and review processes while maintaining a complete audit trail to know when their data or processes are updated , and by who . The platform is built with the foundation of users needing the capability to work online , offline and with the same data as other users simultaneously , automatically tracking and saving all changes .
“ As the first vendor-neutral mining platform designed for a multi-user environment , SourceOne accommodates a geographically diverse team ,” Eclipse said . “ Teams work seamlessly together , transfer data and messages as part of a workflow , always work with the latest data and know the genesis of each datum .”
The latest releases of Minemax software will be available for preview at MINExpo 2021 , with the company set to continue its journey of providing mine planning and scheduling software to customers around the globe .
“ Whether there is a need in strategic planning or operational scheduling , open-pit mines or underground , new projects or existing operations , metals or coal , Minemax mine planning and scheduling software simplifies optimising strategies , streamlining operations and maximising business value ,” the company , a key member of a greater software and advisory family including Datamine , Snowden , and Centric Mining Systems , said .
Recently , there have been many new software enhancements introduced in the product portfolio that , Minemax says , allow mine planners to better realise the untapped potential of their mine planning projects .
With Minemax Scheduler , an integrated strategic mine schedule optimisation tool , Minemax has closed the gap between strategic mine planning and corporate finance , enabling
