INDUSTRY WATCH
THE BASIC IMPERATIVE IN MINING BUSINESSES IS SUSTAINABILITY , DECARBONIZATION , THE BEST USE OF RESOURCES AND THE MAXIMIZATION OF PROFITABILITY .
security and cybersecurity , handling Big Data , the initial investment in equipment and sensors for IIoT , and process integration .
Another challenge would be working only with a cloud-based data center , as latency can directly affect production .
“ Delays in response times from central data centers can cause problems of all kinds in industrial applications , creating loss of productivity and money . But this situation is solved by implementing
Industrial Edge solutions to manage applications locally ,” said Neirotti .
The architecture that the executive recommends is decentralized microdata centers located at the edge or the data source . Edge computers connect to a larger data center – either regional , cloud-based , or both simultaneously – allowing information to be processed and stored for local action and real-time decision making . Then , depending on what the IT expert says , they can replicate the data from the microdata centers to the upper data center .
“ The basic imperative in mining businesses is sustainability , decarbonization , the best use of resources and the maximization of profitability . Through our IIoT Platform and technology solutions , our team of experts facilitates solutions . Therefore , our cybersecurity solutions and the necessary IT infrastructure also allow us to manage information securely ,” said Neirotti .
IIoT solutions enable automation , power and digitally integrated processes to build a sustainable mining and metals business . The digitization of the mining industry is a reality and this is a fundamental requirement to achieve its future growth . p
