关于客户
Gold Fields 是一家中型全球多元化黄金生产商，在四个地区经营九座矿山，包括位于南非的 South Deep Mine。South Deep 由两个独立的竖井系统组成 - 双竖井和南竖井 - 它们是完全集成的。该矿雇用了大约 4,500 名员工和承包商，旨在开采世界上已知的最大金矿之一，矿产储量为 3280 万盎司 - 大约相当于近 100,000 块金条！South Deep 认识到其采矿活动可能对其人民、社区和运营环境的可持续发展产生潜在影响。可持续发展是公司及其经营方式不可或缺的一部分，公司的最终目标是确保矿山以安全、负责任、合乎道德和有利可图的方式开展活动。
挑战
South Deep 金矿意识到其管理健康和安全的方式已经过时且不够充分。例如，手动管理电子表格会带来许多问题，包括难以分析、难以在整个公司内标准化数据以及不适合报告格式。它需要大量资源来管理，既耗时又低效，最终被认为是不可持续的。因此，South Deep 需要一个环境、健康和安全综合系统——一个能够集中所有 EHS 信息的数字系统，并为公司的管理层和领导团队提供他们所需的信息，以便他们快速了解矿场的健康和安全信息，并节省编制必要报告的时间。
解决方案
South Deep 寻找一家拥有成熟国际业务的软件公司，经过一番考虑后，实施了 IsoMetrix 的环境、健康和安全 (EHS) 解决方案。实施 IsoMetrix 的 EHS 软件后，South Deep 现在能够轻松直观地提取制定定制报告所需的信息。由于所有信息都集中并标准化在安全的 IsoMetrix 系统中，并且完全透明且可审计，South Deep 管理团队现在可以放心地向董事会报告，因为他们知道其信息准确、相关且完整，没有遗漏。将责任和义务分配给健康和安全行动的能力可确保公司能够提供解决这方面任何问题的明确证据。IsoMetrix 软件中的中央行动管理器功能可监督这一关键的运营方面，并使组织能够指导和管理所有与 EHS 相关的行动。

Case Study
Underground Mining Safety
The goal was to produce a safety system to monitor and support underground mining operations; existing systems were either too simple (i.e. phone line) or overly complex and expensive, inhibiting deployment, and providing little-to-no support in event of an accident. Given the dangerous nature of the mining work environment and the strict regulations placed on the industry, the solution would have to comply with Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) regulations. Yet the product needed to allow for simple deployment to truly be a groundbreaking solution - increasing miner safety and changing daily operations for the better.
Case Study
Mining Firm Quadruples Production, with Internet of Everything
Dundee Precious Metal’s flagship mine, in Chelopech, Bulgaria, produces a gold, copper, and silver concentrate set a goal to increase production by 30%. Dundee wanted to increase production quality and output without increasing headcount and resources, improve miner safety, and minimize cost.

Fastenal Builds the Future of Manufacturing with MachineMetrics
Fastenal's objective was to better understand their machine downtime, utilization, quality issues, and to embrace cutting-edge manufacturing technology/process improvement capabilities to bring their team to the next level. However, there was a lack of real-time data, visualization, and actionable insights made this transition impossible.
Case Study
Joy Mining Systems
Joy equipment faces many challenges. The first is machine integration and control. The business end of the machine has a rapidly-spinning cylinder with 6-inch diamond-studded cutting teeth. It chews through rock at rates measured in tens of tons per minute. The system grinds through the rock in front, creating a rectangular mine tunnel. Hydraulic lifters support the ceiling as the machine moves forward. Automated drills and screws drive 3-ft long screws into the ceiling to stabilize it. The rock and coal fall into a set of gathering "fingers" below the cutting cylinder. These fingers scoop up the rock and coal and deposit it onto a conveyor belt. The conveyor passes under the machine and out the back. A train of conveyor belt cars, up to a mile long, follows the cutter into the mine. The rock shoots along this train at over 400 feet per minute until it empties into rail cars at the end. Current systems place an operator cage next to the cutter. Choking dust (potentially explosive), the risk of collapse and the proximity of metal and rock mayhem make the operator cage a hazardous location.

Improved Monitoring in Industrial Manufacturing Facility
When your crane is moving tons of magma-hot iron, you can’t afford an unexpected failure. McWane Ductile knew monitoring the crane motor metrics within their facility could help prevent a mechanical failure that would strand an enormous bucket of molten metal overhead. Unfortunately, their legacy wired monitoring system couldn’t work with moving objects in this extreme environment. If they could integrate wireless capabilities into their existing equipment they could extend their monitoring capabilities without starting over from scratch.
