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planning while having reliable access to their work files , notifying stakeholders and avoiding erroneous data or outdated versions .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 .
