Mining Industry Forum Thursday, May 21, 2015 The Future of Mining is Here! 13:00 13:45 The Mining Industry is struggling to emerge from a downturn that many experts are signaling as something more than an inevitable cyclic movement, describing this as a "seismic or paradigm shift." As owner operators continue to slash billions of spending dollars, shed jobs, divest underperforming mines, cut back on capital projects, and attempt to rein in wages, many have begun to focus on long term optimization of operating costs and capital allocation as sustainable measures for their businesses. This session will discuss the innovative step change solutions that Bentley is delivering across the entire mining ecosystem, providing opportunities to optimize projects and operations while delivering efficiencies and improving profitability through the management of information throughout the entire MineCycle. Dave Body, Solutions Executive, Mining, Bentley Systems Spatially Located Digital Data Providing a Window into Your Operation 13:45 14:30 Of particular importance within a mine environment is spatially located digital data. During the operational phase of a mine the process of design, develop, and extract becomes an integrated and continuous loop. This continual cycle becomes the focal point of a mine s operation, and key to this is the accurate positioning of the excavations mined and the geological and evaluation features encountered. Today new technologies, such as laser scanners and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), are delivering this accurate data. Together with"big data" software solutions that maintain, display, analyze, and manage the voluminous amounts of spatially located digital data, they are changing the face of surveying within mining operations. The ability to efficiently manage, maintain, and disseminate this spatial data to the right people at the right time will be critical to the success of an enterprise. Bentley Systems and solutions support today s requirements and tomorrow s needs. Dave Body, Solutions Executive, Mining, Bentley Systems Improving Asset Performance 14:45 15:30 Bentley has a portfolio of solutions that are particularly relevant to a mechanized mining strategy in which the asset management and maintenance tracking of all equipment are critical. The capturing, analyzing, and management of condition based data via our AssetWise APM offerings, give mining owners an ability to improve and optimize the reliability, integrity, and performance of both their fixed and mobile assets. Brian Flett, Global Practice Leader, Bentley Systems User Success: Making the Shift and Delivering an ROI 15:30 16:15 This session will describe the value and ROI an owner can derive from taking an integrated approach to the mining operations and the assets they manage. Whether they take a pro active approach to mine planning and surveying, they take a risk based approach to inspections and maintenance, or whether they focus on the lifecycle of their capitally intensive infrastructure and maintain high quality engineering information.
