What Is AVEVA™ Unified Operations Center?

AVEVA™ Unified Operations Center is a centralized platform designed to unify data from multiple sources, offering a single pane of glass view of operations. It integrates various industrial applications and systems, including SCADA, PI, MES, ERP, and other enterprise business systems, to provide real-time visibility and control over operations. This holistic approach enables mining companies to make informed decisions, optimize processes, and enhance collaboration across different departments.

Enhancing Agility and Resiliency in Mining Operations

Operational awareness is a critical aspect of mining, and this is where AVEVA™ Unified Operations Center shines. It converges operations technology (OT), information technology (IT), and engineering technology (ET) into a singular "system of systems" approach.

The centralized view offers benefits such as:

  • Better prediction of raw material inventories

  • Quick identification and recovery from operational deviations

  • Minimized losses due to logistical disruptions

  • Enhanced evaluation of asset performance and equipment health

  • Strengthened environmental, safety, and governance (ESG) standards.

How Does It Handle Data Unification Without Losing Context?

Unifying data from disparate sub-systems is a challenge that many operations face. AVEVA™ Unified Operations Center elegantly consolidates and aligns this information into a 360-degree command environment. You can manage:

  • Hierarchy of linked KPIs

  • Truck fleets and workforce empowerment

  • Incident reporting and SOPs

  • Cross-functional collaboration

  • Energy, environment, and waste management

What Unique Features Does It Offer?

1. Map-Based Navigation

The platform provides a holistic satellite view of geographical operations, allowing users to drill down into each asset and system. Real-time KPIs and functional overlays offer complete insight into your operations.

2. Real-Time Fleet Status

You can easily view the status of different types of equipment in your fleet. Detailed dashboards highlight any anomalies, powered by the underlying data from AVEVA™ PI System™.

3. Production Event Visibility

Thanks to integrations with other AVEVA™ systems, the Unified Operations Center gives you real-time insights into production-affecting events, helping you assess their broader impact on your business.

How Scalable Is This Solution?

One of the advantages of AVEVA™ Unified Operations Center is its flexibility in scope and scale. Whether you need to deploy the system on a massive video wall, multi-user workstations, or a single desktop, the platform adapts to meet your needs.

AVEVA™ As a "Single Source Of Truth" 

The system uses all available data to provide actionable information in context. By having a "single source of truth," teams can optimize decision-making, improve real-time operations, and focus on achieving more sustainable outcomes.
