3ds.com/GEOVIA Take Control of Mine and Plant Production

Across the world, mining companies turn to GEOVIA InSite™ for the capabilities they need to better manage their operations. Whether you are seeking to drive additional efficiencies at your mine, plant, or in specific operational areas, InSite is the solution you need to gain visibility into all areas of production. Choosing InSite ensures you are provided with all the tools that you would expect from any comprehensive mining solution, plus many more that are unavailable elsewhere.

Examples of Key Industry Challenges

• Identifying the cause of variance between your coal reserve and that produced by the mine. Plan • Ensuring your operations consistently and reliably produce according to the plan. • Monitoring production problems and variances based on set criteria. Do Operational • Ensuring shareholder confidence that your mining organisation will meet data production targets.

Act • Improving processes to be able to produce exactly to plan. Understand variances • Overuse of spreadsheets and ad hoc manual methods for data recording. to improve the plan • Accurately reporting how much material you have moved in each shift or month. Check • Always knowing what mass and qualities you have on hand and what you Variance analysis are moving. • Managing and reducing production costs. • Accessing information to make critical business decisions when and where you need it.

Our Solutions

The InSite team works closely with mining companies to identify the features required to manage operations with even greater control and precision. The results are functionality centred on helping solve key industry challenges in the areas of reconciliation, production efficiencies and cost control.

Area of InSite's functionality enables you to: challenge

Reconciliation • Identify areas of high deviation of production from the plan via variance analysis and advanced reconciliation functionality. • Collect and centralise vast amounts of accurate production information. • Provide visibility to all operational key performance indicators and control of outliers across the operation.

Production • Display operational production visually to help monitor all Efficiencies activities and rapidly respond to changes. • Manage data for any activity, including mining, transportation and processing. • Manage production down to the shift level and assign resources. • Have confidence in the mass and qualities of stockpiles.

Cost Control • Monitor equipment performance to control costs and eliminate bottlenecks. InSite staff working onsite in collaboration with clients to champion improvements and results.

2 InSite Visible Operations

InSite provides users with operational visibility through tools for data analysis and reconciliation of production outputs and activities against what was planned. Identifying variances and the causes behind them can help prevent future variances by providing the justification required to update models, plans and schedules. Companies will also benefit from the ability to see production activities as they happen, to ensure they are A visual way to identify variances occurring for any activity via the heat map feature in InSite 4.3. performing efficiently at all times.

The Right InSite Solution for You “InSite provides greater confidence in the accuracy of our monthly production. The mine and wash plant have visibility of InSite has been built to suit any the variances between plan and actual. Visual representation of mining operation regardless of mining progress helps to validate activity hours and provide commodity, mining method or accurate reporting to contractors. Reconciliation has never location. Our team of mining, IT, and been easier.” best-practice experts will work closely with you to determine a solution that — Simon Ewart, Operations Superintendent Stanwell, Meandu Coal Mine matches your business and operational goals and challenges.
