Presentation summary
Industry 4.0: Innovative IT solutions for Geological Exploration.
Over the last years, mineral developers tend to outsource drilling and geological activities. Therefore, the importance of control over subcontractors becomes an ever-increasing issue. Customers expect now not just monthly reports but want to monitor qualitative and quantitative indicators online.
As a matter of fact, a new information environment is required to ensure efficiency of mineral developers and their subcontractors. The first and foremost step in this process is to standardize exploration projects. This can be achieved by using the AGR system, which applies digital corporate standards and all-digital collection of raw data.
The next stage implies aggregation of raw geological data and its visual display for the purpose of monitoring and decision-making. A dashboard turns out to be the best tool to display main KPIs of a project. However, basing KPIs on raw data is imperative, because in this case, KPIs are true, consistent and online compliant (processing paper reports is becoming a thing of the past).
All things considered, AGR roadmap focuses on new functionality that will calculate and visualize KPIs of exploration projects online. We invite everyone interested in the AGR Software stand to learn more about our best practices in the field of monitoring and supervision of exploration projects.
