3 When you choose ADMSE you are choosing a fully integrated firm with industry-proven solutions. Our experience and resources can help guide your progress through data integration from mine to mill, upgrading of electrical systems as well as design of control systems. Efficiency and productivity are key in the mining industry today. Nearly 10 years of un-paralleled growth in the mining sector resulted in quick expansion and construction of mines and processing plants. Construction haste has led poor operating practices in many operations throughout the mining industry. The situation has created opportunities for marked improvement through operational intelligence and automation. Decreasing ore grades and depressed commodity prices are also driving the need for mining companies to cut operating expenses while maintaining or increasing production rates to remain viable. Meanwhile, technology revolutions including Connected Operations, the convergence of IT and OT, and the Industrial IoT are creating new opportunities within mining for operational intelligence. Technology is increasing exponentially and mining companies with more information and greater expertise are ahead of the pack. The team at ADMSE not only understands the challenges at hand - from prioritizing efficiency projects to making the transition from disparate operations to a fully integrated operation - we work with your team to push efficiencies and boost productivity.

4 ADMSE is uniquely positioned to help your company realize tangible results from today s technology. Realizing the potential of the Industrial IoT and fully integrated operations is dependent on how well mining companies can manage and control their connected industrial assets. Technology is increasing exponentially and the mining companies with more information and greater expertise are ahead of the pack. Move to condition based maintenance by leveraging asset instrumentation such as vibration, temperature and oil analysis. Integrate operations across remote geographies. Create centralized control rooms where Mine, Plant and Port operations can work together to improve communication and decision making. This requires significant automation and data infrastructure. Refocus on operational and maintenance planning which requires vast amounts of data to predict asset performance. Leverage data analytics such as machine learning, statistical analysis, parallel process modeling and dedicating human resources to analyzing and interpreting large data sets. 4 METALS & MINING

5 Move past industry buzz and transform operations through data. The industry is faced with changing times, trends and real opportunities. What you are hearing and reading almost everywhere you go are phrases like: Our industry is progressing with evolving tools. Equipment lifecycle care with real time data can improve operations and maintenance. Powerful computing resources turn raw data into intelligence, thereby enabling operational and management decisions to be based on accurate, up-to-date information. Mining companies are relying on the Industrial IoT to deliver trillions of dollars in business value by driving innovation in operational efficiency, business management, safety, and security. Miners who use software solutions like automation, big data and analytics can reduce and sometimes eliminate unscheduled downtime. From downtime tracking and OEE systems to complex OSIsoft PI System integrations, ADMSE has completed data management projects within plants all over the world. We have worked with small and large corporations providing consulting, project management and implementation services. With industry specific knowledge we can work with your stakeholder group to prepare functional and detailed specifications, machine center definitions and KPI reporting requirements. From pilot project to corporate roll out ADMSE is a resource that can efficiently execute each phase of the project. ADMSE is uniquely positioned as a fully integrated firm with expertise in fields from power distribution to automation platforms and data management. Along with our partner suppliers we can act as your Mine to Mill Integrator linking mining data to the plant for integrated operations and tangible results. 5

6 Metals & Mining From performance to safety, the benefits outweigh the costs.

Why upgrade systems & integrate operations? Mine to Mill decision making and planning through data collaboration. Real-time collaboration, scheduling and benchmarking across your enterprise. Managed downtime through operational and maintenance planning to predict asset performance. Reduced variability in mine production rates resulting in increase mine output at reduced costs. Improved safety through digitization and automation. PRE-ENGINEERED SOLUTION BRIEF USE CASE Interested in learning more about our industry-proven solutions? Visit ADMSE.com for case studies and more. Downtime Tracking Pressured to find savings? Decrease downtime and maximize output with operational analytics. Energy management at New Gold s New Afton mine, helps to acheive ISO energy certification. ENERGY MANAGEMENT, Energy Management INFORMATION SYSTEM CHALLENGE: Energy management a focus for New Afton mine. Investing in longer-lived, larger-scale, lower-cost assets with social and environmental responsibility is a New Goal corporate commitment. So when their New Afton mine was under construction, New Gold was already preparing a comprehensive Energy Management Plan. Downtime tracking provides manufacturing companies the ability to remove operational waste from their processes. When equipped with the power of real-time data, you are able to be proactive in decreasing downtime, rate and quality loss events by targeting and eliminating the root-causes of equipment failure. SOLUTION: ADMSE EMIS SOLUTION monitors 160+ consumption data points. Realizing the efficiencies of self-sustaining energy management, the New Gold team set a goal to meet the ISO standard. ADMSE s pre-engineered solution for downtime tracking and asset management leverages RtTech Software s RtDUET to provide extended functionality for users of the PI System, including access to the underlying data records for downtime events, advanced downtime tracking tools, and maintenance and reliability KPIs (e.g. OEE) through advanced analytics. Defining your operation s time usage codes standardizes how each downtime event type affects KPI calculations while reason codes standardize operator inputs for the cause or reason for downtime events. Drive production and keep your finger on the pulse of your operation with downtime tracking and real-time performance analytics. 10% + Average reported increase in Asset Availability. ADMSE was selected for the ambitious project. Their solution, based on RtTech Software s RtEMIS answered the requirements of the company s key stakeholders as well as compliance with Natural Resource Canada s guidelines and ISO standards. The solution also required a seamless integration with New Gold s OSIsoft PI System. ADMSE implemented the solution within a fast-tracked timeline of 6 months, no small task given the extensive metering network required at the site. A network of 157 electrical sub-meters, 6 gas meters and a data concentrator are now monitored, with four primary Energy Account Centers (EACs) aligned with financial cost accounting requirements. 6months INDUSTRIES Food & Beverage Automotive Metals & Mining Pharmaceuticals Manufacturing Target Issue Manual downtime data collection within plants can be time consuming and yields unreliable information.
