Mining

4Site® Solutions for Mining & Metals

Mining has always been a competitive, high-stakes industry. Today, the industry faces highly volatile markets, exacting financial regulations and growing exposure to high-profile environmental, social and safety factors.

The evolutionary nature of a mining venture - through mineral exploration, mine development, operation and closure - poses unique challenges. Mining companies are responding to these challenges through innovative asset management strategies and technological improvements.

Maximize Performance, Minimize Costs

While mineral exploration and mine operation have distinct maintenance and enterprise management requirements, maximizing asset performance through strategic asset management is recognized as a route to maintaining costs and improving margins.

The 4Site® enterprise asset maintenance (EAM) solution gives mining and metals enterprises a full suite of integrated asset maintenance and financial management tools for all stages of the mining lifecycle, from exploration project management to robust maintenance management for a mature facility:

• Increase reliability and asset life with robust preventive/predictive maintenance (PM) programs and reliability centered maintenance (RCM)
• Keep facilities and equipment operating at peak levels; improve resource utilization
• Manage costs and ensure accurate reporting with integrated project management, asset maintenance, MRO purchasing and inventory, and financial components
