Wonderware Solutions 
for Mining

Mining is particularly sensitive to global economic swings.

Owners and operators must adapt quickly to changing market conditions to stay competitive in this complex industry.

The challenge is to increase investment, throughput and capacity in boom times and improving efficiency and reduce costs in economic downturns. Agility and responsiveness are key, but companies must also ensure that their operations are safe, environmentally sound and compliant with government regulations. In addition to risking harm, lack of compliance could lead to fines or license revocation.

Further complicating these challenges are large fluctuations in availability of qualified staff. Many senior staff are reaching retirement age and recruiting and retaining skilled replacements is a challenge. Today’s mining engineering teams are also more transient, diverse and remote. Knowledge capture and transfer is imperative and it must be both quick and safe.

Mining companies globally are responding to these challenges by integrating operations, optimizing performance and applying best practices across their value chain. They are striving to increase efficiency, improve asset utilization, lower costs and reduce downtime, while also becoming leaner and more agile. Wonderware software empowers them to realize these goals.
