Automation Trends in 2011


#1 The gatheringIntegrating information across disparate sources

Locate & Valuate

Asset Development

Inbound Logistics & Services

Mining Operations Beneficiation

Outbound Logistics Market

Find/acquire better assets more quickly

Online sooner at lower cost

Improve SC efficiency and reduce costs

Increase up time and yield at lower costs

Provide best transportation

Enhance effectiveness and margins

• Information is very disperse in a industrial environment

• A range of IT systems from different suppliers implemented across the production processes and supply chain increases the risks in securing accurate information in a timely manner, increases inefficiencies and reduces response time. The accumulative result: An impact on costs and competitiveness.

• Accenture believes business’ needs to make smarter investments, for business intelligence and analytics throughout the value chain will drive industrial IT integration to grow exponentially.

• Accenture is working with mining, metals, CPG and manufacturing companies to integrate from ERP to Instrumentation across the whole supply chain.


• Successful mergers and acquisitions come with successful post-merger integration

• Companies around the world are initiating programs to standardize ERP practices (ERP Global Template), dispersed MES implementations by different business units and operational functions, and varied supply chain management and production management processes

• Accenture is responding to our clients’ need for standardization by providing consulting services for business models, MES Blueprint, supplier selection, and MES implementation. We are drawing on our assets and capabilities such as the Accenture High Performance Business Processes, developed for the different industries (mining, metals, utilities, etc.), to help scope out the standardization initiatives.

#2 Not lost in translationStandardizing practices and templates globally


• The pressures of producing more from the same assets whilst reducing costs, a concern of production managers, will take front and center stage

• Main objectives are:• Variability reduction (quality, process variables, OEE, production, etc.)• Improve Throughput• Improve Quality• Reduce Costs

• Accenture applies a combination of Lean – Six Sigma + Process Optimization to troubleshoot processes and find Quick Wins opportunities

#3 A method to getting moreProduction optimization and asset utilization

• Increasing the level of the business’ performance and external forces such as environmental and health/safety awareness, have producers striving to better manage their production and supply chain processes

• The agribusiness has increasingly automated from farm to final product• Accenture sees the uptake of automation in soya bean, corn, oranges,

coffee, and sugar cane to name a few

• Accenture is currently working on a couple of sugar cane harvesting information management projects. A sugar cane production chain includes the farm, sugar and ethanol processing plant and cogeneration plant consuming cane bagasse

• The solutions we are implementing encompass:− Automatic data collection− Telemetry− Cane Harvesting Report− Precision Agriculture− Center of Agricultural Operations

• Accenture created a Center of Excellence in agribusiness in São Paulo, Brazil

#5 Weak links and leaks no moreCyber security

• Stuxnet and other threats put information security on the world stage

• Stuxnet was a wake-up call for automation as managers believed the industrial environment was safe of viruses

• Companies are increasingly assessing and evaluating their IT architectures to mitigate risks. The overarching goals of these initiatives are improved performance and greater business value

• Accenture is helping organizations secure their data, protect identities and build trusted relationships with their customers, various constituencies and partners


• An OIC brings together in the same war room people with different skills: production planners, infrastructure, maintenance, production, etc.

• A center can be located at a plant or remotely, where it is generally shared between several plants or production chain units

#6 A war room for operational intelligenceAnalytics, knowledge and operational centers to accelerate performance

• The questions businesses ask are: What information to we have? What do we do with it? How do we turn it into useable and actionable information to distance ourselves from the competition?

• Accenture has built Operational Intelligence Centers (OICs) for a number of forwarding-looking businesses. These centers are not control rooms—they are analytic centers conceived for information-based decision-making


• OICs extract data from all application sources: DCSs, SCADA + PLC, Historians, MES, APC systems, LIMS, etc., and formats the data for decision-making

• It forces people to act before the fact (predictive capability) or react faster after the event

• It allows the sharing of expensive resources between plants of the same production chain or geographic location (hub of plants)

• It provokes the benchmarking of results between plants creating knowledge and best practices
