Retriever Communications Mining Mobility Services and Business Applications

Retriever Communications is a provider of wireless business applications for field staff at mining sites, rigs and production facilities. Retriever’s mobile solutions allow for data capturing in field inspections, service management, time sheeting and quality management.

Mining occupational health and safety services

Retriever’s occupational health and safety (OH&S) services electronically integrate OH&S controls into field data collection processes, enabling companies to provide the highest levels of technician and lone worker safety, covering regulatory compliance. Retriever’s solutions integrate back into multiple management systems, including SAP, Maximo, Pronto, Oracle, Remedy and Great Plains.

The advantages of automated data capture for OH&S include:

• Minimised technician injury
• Increased regulatory compliance, safeguarding you and your customers
• Dynamic site risk assessment and management
• Minimised telecommunication costs

Mine field inspections and asset management services

Automating your organisation’s quality and audit inspections provides significant time and cost savings. Retriever allows for the electronic enforcement of data, immediate reporting abilities and complete version control of multiple inspection forms.

Data relating to assets and asset maintenance is processed in the field on mobile devices to be sent to the back office or collated in reports by Retriever. Additionally, access to drawings, history, customer information and other asset details can be sent down to the mobile device for immediate access in the field.

Our field asset solution features the following:

• OH&S for site inspections, observation cards, JSAs and incident reporting
• Time sheets to capture time-against-cost centres or activities for both staff and contractors
• Asset inspections for improved maintenance control and planning
• Site maintenance detailing work done, parts used and time taken
• Quality inspections of equipment and activities
• Resource planning with dynamic work-order allocation and management
• Guaranteed service level achievement via active allocation management
