The business case covers the transformation from weekly production accounting via an inhouse solution to OSIsoft & Sigmafine infrastructure for daily production accounting and the monitoring of key assets and instrument using validated KPIs.
The metals and mining industry is highly regulated regarding the data used to generate its metals account reporting. Additionally, many companies own the full supply chain, from ore processing, through to intermediate concentrates and at times to the final product (metal rods, rolls, bar etc). Thus, monitoring and managing the data quality of thousands of process-based data sources to ensure accurate production and financial reporting is an effort that requires a scalable configurable and auditable IT infrastructure. The metals and mining industry have kept abreast with digital transformation in that they have invested in meter, sensors, even drone technology so that the process data is available. OSIsoft's real-time data infrastructure improves dataaccessibility and durability. Sigmafine uses the OSIsoft Asset Framework (AF) as the basic building block of the connected model-based mass and component balancing. The templates and attribute structure of the Asset Framework allow for highly efficient development and deployment of the solution.
