Connected Value Chain
From Mine to the Wider Value Chain
Operational information doesn’t have to stop at the mine gate.
Production, recovery, quality, energy and water data can support the mining operation while also providing useful information to upstream and downstream stakeholders.
This creates a more connected flow of information across the lithium and EV value chain.
From Data to Action
Connected data can do more than show what is happening.
With the right information and business logic in place, events can trigger alerts, workflows and actions.
For example, a change in water consumption or mill performance can be detected, assessed and brought to the attention of the right team.
The goal is simple: turn information into action.
This reflects the source material’s progression from detecting an event through contextualisation and business logic to triggering an alert or workflow.
Power & Water
Power and Water Are Part of the Picture
Production performance cannot be viewed in isolation from the resources that enable it.
By looking at throughput, recovery, energy and water together, mining operations can better understand where resources are being used, where losses may be occurring and how operating conditions affect production.
The source specifically identifies power and water as critical to mining and mineral processing and gives these operational questions as examples of what connected information can help investigate.
The #CONNECTEFFECT
The opportunity is to make more use of the information already being generated across the operation.
- Connect the data.
- Contextualise the information.
- Share it securely.
- Make it actionable.
- Extend its value beyond the operation.
That’s where the #CONNECTEFFECT begins.
