2017 Innovation ProgressDemonstrating the Power of Alignment & Collaboration

Modern BI Trials

Autonomous Mucking at NRS The Connected Worker & Wi-Fi to the Face

5 BEV’s deployed in 2017; 3 more in Q1

OT/IT ConvergenceThe First Paradigm Shift

2012: Gain trust through quick

wins; stop working in isolation

2012-17: Quarterly OT/IT link

meetings to maintain

collaboration

2017: OT/IT combining efforts to trial enabling technology for

innovation

Operations Management System Onaping Depth Project

Productivity Improvement25%

Onaping Depth

To be used by operators at 1200L and 57 Decline faces to track shift progress

Functionality

1. Auto generate shift schedule

based on last shift heading

status

2. Assign operators to mining

tasks and equipment pre-shift

3. Task assignment &

expectations delivered to

operator tablet

4. Operators enter progress and

delays into tablet during shift

5. Corrective actions and other

decisions facilitated by

visibility of information

Goal

Maximize face utilization/advancement

Minimize time to access ore body

Mobile and desktop application

User Engagement & Ownership

• Focus development on usability and value

• Engage users so they are key to the process

• Users become owners

• Keeping up with demand is the new

challenge!
