Various sites in Europe and South America, 2016-2023
We provided advanced training and mentoring to a number of sites who use this powerful BI tool for dispatch and health reporting. Examples include:
Nevada Gold Mines, American Asset Health Centre, Nevada, USA, 2017-2023
MTS delivered advanced productivity tools enabling a centralised group of condition intelligence analysts to make timely analysis of mobile equipment health data from sites across the region. Their objective is to prevent early equipment failures, extend component life, and improve the overall reliability of the mobile fleet.
The project involved a substantial amount of data warehousing, BI customisation and user training.

From Data to Information…
Since 2016 MTS has provided advanced support to this greenfield operation to build and develop systems to support Asset Health function. This collaborative project included the creation of custom reports, dashboards, interfaces and productivity tools specific to the operation’s business needs. MTS listened to the customer’s needs to provide creative technology-based solutions which lever off multiple data streams to provide information via user-friendly platforms. This visibility gives the customer the ability to make informed and timely decisions to manage the health of their assets and optimise their processes. Additionally, MTS assisted with ERP and planning systems integration, user training and delivery of Standard Operating Procedures (SOP).

Newmont Suriname, Merian Mine, Suriname, 2016-2022
MTS assisted in fully embedding their recently installed Fleet Management System (FMS) into the site’s business processes. This involved training for dispatchers, operators and end-users; as well as mentoring and provision of benchmarking reports. The project covered the main features of an FMS including automatic assignment, mine model maintenance, fueling and high precision GPS guidance for ore control.
Nevada Gold Mines, Carlin Underground, Nevada, USA, 2019
NGM’s Leeville and Portals mines are at the cutting edge of technology usage in the underground environment, being one of the largest users of Caterpillar’s autonomous system, MineStar Command.
The operations team wanted to better utilise their Micromine’s Pitram data to raise the visibility of key information and help improve business decision making processes. MTS was engaged to help define and build a set of tools to provide this.
Priority areas included the status and location of key assets, material flow by type in each ore pass and muck bay, as well as heading development Vs plan.

Nevada Gold Mines Long Canyon, 2018-2019
MTS developed a suite of customised dashboards to convert the site’s FMS and process plant data into focused and actionable information. Designed to tackle immediate business challenges, the solutions were mocked up and iterated with the Long Canyon team in a series of agile development sprints. The completed dashboards help the site to further streamline on-site decision making.
Russian Federation, 2017-2023
Working in partnership with SRK Russia, a leading provider of independent mining consultancy, MTS executed detailed audits of Fleet Management and Business Intelligence systems at a number of mines in Russia. Each audit provided practical recommendations as to how the systems could be further used to help manage operations.
