Migration from Excel-based production reporting to web-based production reporting with the PI System as a backend:
-Integrating various external systems such as lab assays, gold bullion databases, environmental database and mining databases.
-Leveraging Asset Framework tables, Event Frames, Asset Analytics, and value retrieval methods to calculate production reporting KPIs
-Validation of production reporting data using analytics
-Using MPA (a Mipac product) as a front end to present the Production Reports and allow data entry for logsheets
