Transforming Mining Operations with MOM: A New Era of Efficiency
Mining operations today face mounting pressure to improve productivity while navigating labor shortages, ESG mandates, and volatile commodity markets. Despite heavy investments in digital technologies, many companies still struggle to generate meaningful outcomes. Why? Because data, when siloed or inaccessible, fails to drive real-time decision-making.
This is the gap Rockwell Automation’s Mining Operations Management (MOM) platform is built to close.
From Data Overload to Actionable Insight
A Common Challenge Across Mining Sites
Modern mines generate terabytes of data, but less than 1% of it is typically used. Disparate systems, custom tools, and manual workarounds often lead to conflicting metrics and operational blind spots. Teams lack a “single version of the truth,” making collaboration and optimization nearly impossible.
The result? Delayed decisions, missed opportunities, and unclear priorities.
Introducing the MOM Platform
A Unified Solution for Connected Mining
The MOM solution suite bridges data silos by integrating operations and business systems on a unified platform. It enables a complete view of asset performance, inventory levels, production workflows, and workforce activities—empowering every team with real-time, contextualized information.
Key outcomes include:
-
Improved equipment availability and uptime
-
Optimized processing of low-grade ores
-
Reduced energy and water consumption
-
Agile responses to market fluctuations
Built to Scale with Your Operations
Flexible Deployment for Modern Mines
Whether you're managing a remote operation, concentrator, or multi-site enterprise, MOM is designed to scale with your infrastructure. Choose on-premise, hybrid, or cloud-hosted setups to suit your IT strategy. Built-in resilience features handle data latency, outages, and non-chronological inputs—ensuring uninterrupted visibility across your mining value chain.
Better Visibility. Smarter Decisions. Faster ROI.
Mining-Specific Applications That Deliver
The MOM platform includes out-of-the-box applications to solve critical challenges from day one:
-
Short Interval Controls (SIC) for rapid incident response
-
Downtime and loss accounting
-
Asset utilization and OEE dashboards
-
Inventory and metal yield tracking
-
Quality management integrated with LIMS and SPC
Every module is tailored for mining operations and designed to improve time-to-value.
Empowering the Workforce with Digital Tools
Solving the Skills Gap from the Ground Up
MOM goes beyond automation—it’s also about people. Operators and technicians gain intuitive tools like mobile inspections, AR-guided instructions, and digital logs to streamline tasks and reduce training time. Remote assistance capabilities further extend expert support to frontline workers, improving safety and efficiency.
