关于客户
Zimplats 是津巴布韦最大的采矿企业，拥有 6000 名员工。该公司实现了 900 万小时零死亡事故，工伤损失率 (LTIFR) 为每百万工时 0.19。这些安全统计数据证明了 Zimplats 董事会、管理层和员工的非凡成就。在安全方面，公司奉行零容忍文化。公司中的每个人都理解并赞赏这一点。领导层的韧性至关重要。公司拥有自主工作团队，他们对自己安全责任负有责任。
挑战
2008 年，津巴布韦最大的采矿企业 Zimplats 分析了其主要风险，并确定了可降低其运营风险的技术。该公司决定实施一套综合的 EHSQ 管理系统。该安全系统嵌入其生产系统中。最近，该矿发生了地面塌陷，但无人受伤。安装的用于远程监控地面稳定性的传感器使该公司能够在塌陷发生前疏散所有人。
解决方案
Zimplats 实施了一套综合的 EHSQ 管理系统。安全系统嵌入到他们的生产系统中。该公司随后实现了 EHS 系统的自动化，实施了 IsoMetrix 来管理安全、健康和环境。该公司还安装了用于远程监控地面稳定性的传感器。这项技术使公司能够在发生坍塌之前疏散所有人。该公司还开展了更广泛的社区安全计划和心理健康计划。

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.
Case Study
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.
