OPERATIONS MANAGEMENT
REAPING THE REWARDS With a reliable network in place, operators can fi nally reap the benefi ts that the Connected Mine promises. T e operator of the world’s largest uranium mine in Kazakhstan uses this concept through a critical communications infrastructure which connects the site to its headquarters in Nur-sultan. T is has allowed for remote real-time management, which has signifi cantly reduced operating costs. Meanwhile, an iron site in Western
Australia has access to 130Mbps of connectivity using Middle Earth Orbit satellites that provide a low latency service. T is connectivity has met the site’s
The boom in on-site connectivity is welcomed by mining staff
growing needs for data, which optimises its operations and supports the welfare of over 300 staff with voice, data and video services. A gold producer in Russia has a network that connects 30 diff erent sites across Siberia and the Far East, with headquarter control rooms in major cities. By using smart network management, up to 100Mpbs of bandwidth is allocated dynamically across the sites based on demand for network transmissions.
LOOKING AHEAD As mining continues to be a precarious business full of challenges relating to productivity, declining reserves and falling
prices, it is important operators get ahead with technology to stay in the game. By embracing the concept of the Connected Mine, companies can make intelligent decisions, save money, and improve safety. However, to fully achieve this it is critical they have access to solutions, such as the ones off ered by Speedcast, that provide support for IoT, connectivity services and smart network management. T is will ensure all equipment, operations and staff have access to the information they need to complete their work and keep processes safe along with the required bandwidth and infrastructure. T rough this combined system, managers can make better business decisions, or even have advanced technology that can step in and apply automatic measures to avoid any system failures or safety hazards. It will then be possible to create predictive maintenance schedules, remove any production bottlenecks and enable real-time monitoring.
