With so many digital initiatives and opportunities available to the mining industry today, it’s often difficult for mining companies to benchmark their operations from a digital perspective.

DRA assesses current technology and data infrastructure and then completes a series of surveys, interviews and analyses to provide an actionable roadmap. That roadmap includes recommendations on how your operational team can extract further value from existing plant data and what additional digital capability is required to increase your company’s digital maturity. Interlate’s Digital Readiness Assessment (DRA) is a dedicated service designed to give mining companies the information needed to understand their organisation’s digital maturity and subsequent ability to undertake digital transformation.

The DRA Process

Digital analysis and transformation can seem overwhelming, so we have established a process that is simple, fast, safe and effective. Interlate’s DRA is based on three fundamental phases:

  • REVIEW OF DATA INFRASTRUCTURE
    Desktop research into the operating assets, examining the level of data generating instruments, data gathering processes and reviewing the use of the data currently captured.
  • SITE VISITS
    Interlate team visits the operation to conduct interviews, inspect the processing plant and understand the operational context related to the data infrastructure.
  • REPORTING AND ROADMAP DEFINITION
    Interlate collates the information gathered during the previous phases, generating a detailed report, which includes a roadmap to clearly identify the stages and requirements in your company’s digital transformation journey.

Value of DRA

  • The true value of Interlate’s DRA service lies in creating a knowledge base and a transformation plan. By understanding current digital capabilities and potential transformational benefits, mining companies can use the DRA to formulate stronger digitalisation strategies.
