How Cooperation Leads to Greater Efficiency and Faster Decarbonisation

A world-wide switch to electric vehicles is generally acknowledged as a fundamental component of decarbonisation. However, while demand for energy-dense batteries continues to soar, limited availability of the raw materials they require, such as lithium, nickel, and cobalt, is creating a major supply chain bottleneck — a bottleneck that threatens to impede their widespread adoption.

Enhancing Operational Visibility with MOM & MES Synergy

The integration of  MOM and MES offers a transformative potential for manufacturing operations. By integrating these systems, companies can achieve enhanced operational visibility, improved efficiency, and better decision-making capabilities.

Meet the mentor who’s inspiring makers in the lab and beyond

Leveraging Virtual Twins to Accelerate Hydrogen Projects

Virtual Twin Tech – A Unified Source of Truth, Empowering Resilience in Mining Complexity

The latest advancements in the GEOVIA portfolio include the introduction of the Strategic Mine Planner Role in December 2023 and the launch of the Underground Mine Designer Role in February 2024 within the Dassault Systèmes 3DEXPERIENCE platform. And there is yet more to come as the company plans to release four additional roles on the 3DEXPERIENCE for the mining industry this year – the Geology Modeler, Geoscience Referential Manager, Earth Engineering Co-ordinator and Pit Optimizer Roles. The planned role-out promises to further enhance these two newly released roles as well as the established 3DEXPERIENCE.

Expert Talk: An Inside Perspective on the Mining-tech Industry

Embedded algorithms supported by AI techniques then suggest decision options based on simulated scenarios that account for not only the primary process but also for the network of processes the equipment interacts with or influences. The idea is to constantly have a “finger on the pulse” of the operation to monitor, assess root causes, simulate possible scenarios, and propose corrective measures to keep the operation performing as best as possible under environmental (e.g., unexpected geology variations) and contextual variables (e.g., energy cost).

Characterization and evaluation tests of vortex ring state recovery techniques on helicopters and eVTOL

Vortex ring state is a dangerous phenomenon that can cause helicopters and eVTOLs to lose control during descent. Learn how Dassault Systèmes can play a crucial role in solving this problem.

Packaging OEM Magazine Interviews Dassault Systèmes

Packaging OEM Magazine interviews Ray Wodar from Dassault Systèmes about how CPG brand manufacturers can accelerate sustainable packaging development.

Mastering the Art of the Green Supply Chain

Companies that prioritize sustainable supply chains can enhance brand loyalty, reduce costs through efficient resource use, and minimize their ecological footprint.

Automated Mine Sites 

One key area for improvement is technological integration. Many mine sites operate with legacy systems that are not easily compatible with newer automated technologies. Upgrading these systems with modern solutions like GEOVIA is an important step in moving toward automation. Ensuring seamless data flow across different systems and departments is also a challenge. Data silos can hinder the effectiveness of automation by limiting access to comprehensive, real-time information.

The Evolution of Mine Planning: Is Optimal the Best We Can Do?

Creating the optimal mine plan has been the cornerstone of reserve evaluation and development for years. But because planning takes a considerable amount of time and planners are working with estimations and forecasts, mine plans have always contained inherent inaccuracies and associated risk. This is a case study of the GEOVIA Strategic Mine Planner, which could reduce inaccuracy and create a mine plan that is better than optimal.
