Mining & Metallurgy • MN-11
BI & Dispatching Center
One control room where production, cost and safety are seen together.
Scope
What the engagement covers.
Mining data lands in separate systems owned by separate departments. A dispatch and BI centre brings them into one operating picture with a defined decision routine.
Included capabilities
- Integrated operating picture across production, fleet, fuel, safety and cost
- Shift, daily and monthly performance reporting from one dataset
- Real-time deviation alerting with ownership and escalation
- Scenario analysis for fleet allocation and production trade-offs
- Group-level rollup across multiple pits or sites
Outputs and deliverables
- Integrated mining data model
- Control room design and role-based views
- Operating routine and escalation procedures
- Standard reporting suite across shift, day and month
Workflow
How it is delivered, step by step.
Each step has an owner, an entry condition and an artefact that has to exist before the next step begins.
01ModelCommon data model across dispatch, fuel, maintenance and plant.
02IntegrateSource system connections with validation and reconciliation.
03VisualizeRole-based views for dispatcher, supervisor and management.
04RoutineShift handover, daily review and escalation procedures.
05ExtendAdditional sites onto the same model and reporting standard.
Use cases
Where this is typically applied.
Groups requiring comparable performance across sites
Sites consolidating dispatch, fuel and safety monitoring
Delivery model
The operating pattern for Mining & Metallurgy.
The same delivery discipline applies across every capability in this line, so combined engagements stay coherent.
Survey
Fleet, fuel flow, network coverage, loss points and current dispatch practice.
Instrument
On-board units, sensors, tags, LiDAR and camera installation.
Calibrate
Baseline consumption, cycle times, volumes and alert thresholds.
Operate
Dispatch centre, driver feedback loops, investigation and reporting routines.
Optimize
Continuous tuning against production, cost and safety targets.
Integration
- Fleet management, weighbridge and laboratory systems for reconciliation.
- ERP and fuel procurement for cost and inventory alignment.
- Mine planning and survey data for haul route and grade context.
- Access control and HR systems for shift, competency and permit checks.
Engagement approach
Fuel, cycle time and safety losses are quantified before deployment, and the same measures are the acceptance criteria after go-live, so value is settled on evidence rather than opinion.
