Mining

Mining is a high-risk endeavour. As an industry it faces unique challenges and presents one of the most hazardous work environments. There are a myriad of regularity requirements and compliance is critical across many areas including operations, security, documentation, equipment calibration and training.

Mining companies have to maintain a balance. They need to create a profitable organisation through competent asset management and efficient resource utilisation. At the same time safeguarding human capital and minimising environmental exposure is critical.

Hazard identification and management are crucial to ensuring good health and safety practices.

High level of reporting critical to success

This constant monitoring of environmental and human exposure to hazards requires a high level of reporting. Modern mining operations need to be equipped with the right tools to manage and monitor the rigours of day-to-day management.

fiCS provides full audit trail functionality that allows managers to keep pace with production ensuring margins are maintained, regulatory requirements are complied with and all corrective actions are easily reviewed.

This means lower risk for your company as steps can be taken immediately to adjust business practice or mining operations as appropriate. The result is less lost time and greater productivity.

Manage your resources for increased profitability

In addition to meeting stringent compliance regulations, mines are profitable only through efficient resource utilisation. Product quality, equipment optimisation and production output need to be weighed against depleted mineral reserves and rising operating costs. This creates a need for reporting measures that fully communicate the true picture of a company’s capabilities.

Many mining operations however still rely on manual processes for collating information. These processes are not only vulnerable to human error but also time consuming.

fiCS is a software solution that allows different departments within a mining company to have ready access to information that affects commercial decision making.

Gone are the multitudes of spreadsheets in multiple locations used to monitor assets and resources and in their place is an all-inclusive analytical tool that provides a single solution to mine management with real time reporting and business process management.
