Digital Mine

During our own digital transformation process, we quickly realized we couldn’t undertake the journey completely on our own. Wabtec Digital Mine has an open-innovation partner ecosystem that spans mining markets and industrial outcomes. We pull from this ecosystem in providing solutions to address various customer problem statements, when combined with customer-specific technologies. Customer-side this could include SCADA, DCS, CMMS/EAM, sensors, process historian, and so forth. Solution-side this could include edge computing, APM (on-premise or cloud), field-based monitoring, data lake, big data visualization, fiber optic sensors, water-based and geological sensors, InSAR, LIDAR, etc. (some as a Wabtec ecosystem, others as customer. Our partner program now features a co-innovation model that not only includes resellers and distributors, but also includes Partner Ecosystem leading technology partners, independent software vendors (ISVs), and thousands of developers.

Wabtec Digital Mine has deep experience developing, deploying, and managing the solutions across a range of highly regulated and conservative industries. We understand that industrial companies need assurance that their critical data assets are protected and overall risk is reduced. And we are convinced that the cloud approach offers both the best way to develop and deploy applications faster and more cost effectively. It’s also the best way to secure and manage these solutions – in order to isolate, encrypt, store, and protect the data they generate and process

The Digital Mine team has a series of Subject Matter Experts combined with the use of data analytics to support ongoing asset and process optimization which will result in increased productivity and failures prevention. The data analytics, applied over various projects, will used data from multiple sources to provide real-time decision support, and to predict and optimize operational performance. In terms of asset management, the data analytics will assist in predicting emerging equipment failures, assessing remaining useful life and will support the development of optimized maintenance strategies driving continuous improvement and cost reduction. In relation to plant performance, it will be used to monitor plant performance and optimization across all mining circuits

Data analytics in our view are broader terms used for asset management and operation optimization specifically for decision support system and prediction of events (both for process and equipment) to improve operation performance. Like operation optimization, asset management analytics, if specific analytics are non-existent, can be developed by Wabtec’s Digital Mine or the client to satisfy unique requirements.

Wabtec’s Digital Mine has an established project delivery team, around the globe, with many years of collective experience. We utilize the Digital Program management team established, in your region, as the core resource to deliver to your particular project. The core team will be supported by subject matter experts, product management and software engineers from any of our global resource centers as required.
