Solution / Mining & Metallurgy

Ore Quality Management

Track ore quality from mining face through truck, stockpile and plant feed to support selective mining and predictable recovery.

Business context

What this capability solves

Ore Quality Management converts fragmented operational signals into an accountable digital workflow so teams can detect risk earlier, optimize resources and improve safety or productivity without losing human operational control.

EBP Integra delivery principle

Technology is implemented as an operating capability: architecture, integration, governance, assurance, people, procedures and measurable outcomes are designed together.

Deep-dive capabilities

Capability model

Modular building blocks allow the scope to start with a focused pilot and expand into an enterprise operating model.

Geology Link

Use bench/block quality from geological model.

Excavation Plan

Define shift contours and target material.

Bucket/Truck Attribution

Associate material quality with loading and haul events.

Stockpile Model

Track grade/quality structure and movements.

Plant Feed

Reconcile material delivered to processing.

Production Forecast

Improve predictability of feed and metal output.

Reference architecture

How the capability fits together

Final topology, control placement and deployment model are validated during discovery and detailed design.

Field / Asset Layer

Vehicles, equipment, sensors, cameras, tags, infrastructure and operational systems.

Connectivity & Edge

GNSS, industrial wireless/wired networks, gateways and local processing.

Analytics Platform

Telemetry normalization, event fusion, AI/computer vision, scoring and rules.

Operations Layer

Dispatch, command center, workflow, alerts, enterprise integration and management reporting.

Implementation

Phased delivery

Each phase ends with evidence, acceptance criteria and a decision gate before broader scale-out.

1. BaselineMap assets, routes/process, data, risk and current KPIs.

2. InstrumentConnect selected devices/data and validate data quality.

3. OperationalizeConfigure analytics, alerts, workflows and dashboards.

4. ScaleExpand fleet/site coverage, tune models and institutionalize performance management.
