关于客户
Impala Platinum Ltd，通常称为 Implats，是一家领先的铂族金属 (PGM) 生产商，由六家采矿公司和一家收费精炼公司 Impala Refining Services 组成。生产的金属是制造许多基本工业、医疗和电子产品的关键 - 它们有助于创造一个更清洁、更环保的世界。Implats 积极开发其 PGM 产品的市场，这些产品销往南非、日本、中国、美国和欧洲。该公司在南部非洲和国际上拥有广泛的业务运营。Impala Platinum Ltd 的炼油厂部门拥有 950 名员工，而包括 Rustenburg 矿场在内的 Impala Platinum Ltd 拥有 48,000 名员工。
挑战
Impala Platinum Ltd 是一家领先的铂族金属生产商，其环境、健康和安全 (EHS) 数据管理一直举步维艰。该公司的业务遍及南部非洲和国际，产生了大量需要捕获和存储的 EHS 数据。该公司现有的存储方法效率低下，而且数据量巨大，使得该公司炼油厂部门的安全与环境经理 Carina Burger 难以在需要时提取有用的 EHS 数据。公司的政策要求将所有事件和审计都加载到系统中，但从系统中提取有用的信息、统计数据和相关趋势是一个繁琐的手动过程。
解决方案
Impala Platinum 实施了 IsoMetrix 的 EHS 软件来集中所有安全相关信息，消除了整个组织中分散的数据孤岛。该软件的用户友好布局使查看和提取相关 EHS 数据变得容易。该软件还确保最终用户以结构化和全面的方式上传他们的发现，从而改善了基层数据收集。该软件的功能（例如必填字段）确保最终用户以结构化和全面的方式上传他们的发现。该系统的用户友好性意味着最终用户只需接受 Carina 的最低限度的培训、指导和监督即可轻松浏览系统，从而节省了她宝贵的时间。

Case Study
Underground Mining Safety
The goal was to produce a safety system to monitor and support underground mining operations; existing systems were either too simple (i.e. phone line) or overly complex and expensive, inhibiting deployment, and providing little-to-no support in event of an accident. Given the dangerous nature of the mining work environment and the strict regulations placed on the industry, the solution would have to comply with Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) regulations. Yet the product needed to allow for simple deployment to truly be a groundbreaking solution - increasing miner safety and changing daily operations for the better.
Case Study
Mining Firm Quadruples Production, with Internet of Everything
Dundee Precious Metal’s flagship mine, in Chelopech, Bulgaria, produces a gold, copper, and silver concentrate set a goal to increase production by 30%. Dundee wanted to increase production quality and output without increasing headcount and resources, improve miner safety, and minimize cost.

Fastenal Builds the Future of Manufacturing with MachineMetrics
Fastenal's objective was to better understand their machine downtime, utilization, quality issues, and to embrace cutting-edge manufacturing technology/process improvement capabilities to bring their team to the next level. However, there was a lack of real-time data, visualization, and actionable insights made this transition impossible.
Case Study
Joy Mining Systems
Joy equipment faces many challenges. The first is machine integration and control. The business end of the machine has a rapidly-spinning cylinder with 6-inch diamond-studded cutting teeth. It chews through rock at rates measured in tens of tons per minute. The system grinds through the rock in front, creating a rectangular mine tunnel. Hydraulic lifters support the ceiling as the machine moves forward. Automated drills and screws drive 3-ft long screws into the ceiling to stabilize it. The rock and coal fall into a set of gathering "fingers" below the cutting cylinder. These fingers scoop up the rock and coal and deposit it onto a conveyor belt. The conveyor passes under the machine and out the back. A train of conveyor belt cars, up to a mile long, follows the cutter into the mine. The rock shoots along this train at over 400 feet per minute until it empties into rail cars at the end. Current systems place an operator cage next to the cutter. Choking dust (potentially explosive), the risk of collapse and the proximity of metal and rock mayhem make the operator cage a hazardous location.
Case Study
Improved Monitoring in Industrial Manufacturing Facility
When your crane is moving tons of magma-hot iron, you can’t afford an unexpected failure. McWane Ductile knew monitoring the crane motor metrics within their facility could help prevent a mechanical failure that would strand an enormous bucket of molten metal overhead. Unfortunately, their legacy wired monitoring system couldn’t work with moving objects in this extreme environment. If they could integrate wireless capabilities into their existing equipment they could extend their monitoring capabilities without starting over from scratch.
