Digital transformation and predictive maintenance are key to optimizing production, reducing unplanned downtime, and ensuring safety and compliance.

Project Description

Unlocking Africa’s Mineral Wealth: Strategic Business Development in Metals and Mining

Overview

Africa’s metals and mining sector is critical to global mineral supply chains but faces challenges such as regulatory complexity, environmental concerns, and the need for sustainable operations. These challenges are even more pronounced for operators in remote locations, where access to infrastructure and technology vendors is limited. The sector demands innovative solutions to enhance asset reliability, operational efficiency, and compliance with evolving environmental regulations.

Key Achievements

  • Secured a key IIoT project for a major gold mining operation to enable real-time asset monitoring.
  • Won a portable instruments deal for asset management at the 5th largest gold mine in the world.
  • Delivered and trained mining personnel on precision maintenance seminars and laser shaft alignment equipment.
  • Supplied an energy monitoring package to track power quality and asset efficiency, improving sustainability.
  • Developed local content strategies to ensure regulatory compliance and enhance local workforce participation.
  • Assisted in obtaining mining operation permits, effectively reducing project delays.
  • Delivered a digital FOD (Foreign Object Debris) detection solution for a key coal mining conveyor operation in South Eastern Africa, improving safety and operational continuity.

Value Proposition

  • Failure detection is invaluable for preventing material waste, minimizing environmental impact, and ensuring operational continuity—especially in isolated mining locations.
  • Precision maintenance packages enhance asset reliability, extend equipment lifespan, and reduce downtime.
  • Digital transformation solutions improve operational efficiency, enhance regulatory compliance, and optimize decision-making through real-time data analytics.
