Mining

Overview

Associates

The mining industry is characterised by a highly diversified environment, coupled with intense competition and stringent regulations. In such an environment, achieving operational excellence, cost controls, high return on capital expenditures, and innovative products, are some of the challenges that mining enterprises face. To deal with these challenges, mining enterprises have shifted their focus from maximising value via increasing production to achieving higher returns by improving productivity and efficiency of existing operations. Since the mining industry is an integral part of any country, it is imperative that leading-edge technologies and sophisticated solutions are implemented by the miners to improve their safety and efficiency.

Techno Brain utilises the latest technology and industry best practices to provide mining solutions that promote safe operations, enhanced production, optimal utilisation of resources, cost efficiencies, and sustainable practices. By understanding the goals and challenges of this industry, Techno Brain has engineered solutions that manages mines and assets. In order, to allow mining enterprises to operate intelligently.

SOLUTIONS

SAP

In order to help mining companies address the challenges of operational efficiency, commodity price volatility, sustainability, and safety, Techno Brain provides mining companies with a suite of SAP solutions that ensures a robust foundation of integrated IT systems and operations technology. These solutions are directly aligned with the enterprise’s business processes to provide deep insights into operations and equipment. SAP provides workforce management and procurement solutions in the cloud that lead to easy collaboration with vendors. Aside from increased visibility into operations and efficient management of commodities, SAP solutions help to enhance supply chain management and increase profitability through effective sales contract handling, create safe operations across the mining chain, optimise downstream processing operations through business intelligence, and increase asset availability and asset management for reduced outages and lower accident rates.

Geographical Information Systems (GIS)

Techno Brain provides mining companies with a robust solution that detects mineral deposits accurately via easily available information and intelligent analysis techniques. These solutions also facilitate responsible mining, and help mining companies attain optimum efficiency, analyse information obtained from multiple sources accurately, and ensure the success of any mining operation. With Techno Brain’s comprehensive GIS platform, mining enterprises can compile, analyse, display, and archive extensive data and information. This provides valuable insights into mineral exploration, evaluating mining conditions, and modelling mine construction. Techno Brain’s solution also assesses environmental impact, applies for permits, and designs closure and reclamation plans. The GIS system for mining companies can be deployed across several areas, listed below.

Exploration: Integrates various exploration datasets, such as geophysical images, geochemistry, geologic maps, radiometric surveys, boreholes, and mineral deposits to provide miners with tools to manage, display, and analyse data, resulting in successful and cost-effective discovery of new mineral deposits. Using GIS, mining companies can map potential mineral deposits and delineate areas who have possibilities of hosting certain types of minerals.
Development and Production: Helps in the production process by identifying the most optimal location for service facilities in relation to the distance of the production centres. Also, meets production criteria and resolves issues faced during the production cycle. Using GIS, Techno Brain helps mining companies identify the lowest-cost route for delivery of supplies to working areas, and establishes which areas are within service range, assigns proximity, models inaccessible areas, and models mine ventilation networks.
Mining Closure and Reclamation: Provides streamlined storage of all relevant information regarding various mine features, such as -location, access routes, photographs, tabular summaries of dimensions, land ownership, and notes regarding each location. GIS plays a vital role in abandoned mine land reclamation, right from the initial inventory of abandoned mine features through the closure of mines and mills. The system also generates three dimensional views to illustrate pre and post reclamation design features.
Land Management: Interacts with land holders to produce maps for legal documents and lease agreements.
Mine Title Application: Obtains approval from the Government on important projects related to Environmental Impact Studies. Techno Brain’s GIS system allows mining companies to have a broader understanding of the locations, mining feasibility, and effects of the operation on the environment.
Tenure Management: Handles all processes related to acquiring multiple permits for exploration and development-related activities.
Asset Management: Facilitates real-time tracking of the status and location of different assets in the mining process.
Mine Safety: Ensures a safe production environment by determining the most feasible sites for refuge chambers, greatly aiding in the evacuation of mine personnel in case of an emergency.
