Turning data into knowledge with Jigsaw

作者：Nicolette Tapper，2016年6月

The Pueblo Viejo gold mine, in the Dominican Republic, is a joint venture between Barrick Gold and Gold Corp., which hold 60 per cent and 40 per cent ownership respectively. The mine is operated by Barrick Gold. Efficient fleet management and production optimisation is a priority.

The focus of fleet management in any industry is to capture, measure and control. Hexagon Mining’s fleet management system, Jigsaw Jmineops, is used commonly to optimise the real-time scheduling and dispatch of mobile mining equipment. Information provided by the fleet management system (FMS) gives greater control of operations and production. Jmineops optimises and centralises equipment tracking, dispatching and diagnostics, ensuring that activities and operators can be directed, material movement can be confirmed, and machine health can be monitored.

Pueblo Viejo购买了整个Jigsaw软件的套件，并正在运行Jmineops，Jview和Jhealth。在坑中，它已经实施了Jtruck，并在铲子/装载装置，生产爆炸钻，黑道和田径斗车上进行了高精度。

Barrick Gold的前FMS管理员Shane Boak说：“ JmineOps系统的最大好处之一是它捕获的数据量。”“Everything that’s happening in the pit, in the mining environment, whether it be time-based information, where the material is being picked up, where it’s getting dumped, who’s operating the equipment, how fast it’s going, or what’s happening with the engine.”

In addition to Jmineops, Hexagon Mining’s software modules and hardware components provide more precise measurement, enhanced operations logic, and wider ranges of equipment usage in run-of-mine (ROM) processes. The Universal Hardware Platform (UHP) also allows numerous Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) independent interfacing options and integration potential for further equipment diagnostics, maintenance, and lifecycle management all within the same system.

Boak说：“我们使用这些工具将所有这些信息汇总在一起，以便我们可以做出更明智的决定。”“我们使卡车运行更长，更快，优化生产并更好地管理风险。”

“It was all recorded. This is where the BI tools came in really handy to come back, analyse all of this information, and use it to make more informed decisions,” said Boak. “We could then improve our use of the FMS and our processes based on past performance and benchmarking results with goals.”
