Now, plant staff who collect data in the field can control workflows and make data accessible to those in the office via web browsers. Field data is shared to a real-time map detailing information, like the ratio of soil cover to excavation, average temperatures, machine locations, rock or mineral information, production data, and geological-hydrogeological data. Mobile teams can also effectively use orthoimagery to perform more accurate spatial analysis.
These processes have made collaboration between teams easier and more efficient. Moreover, by removing paper-based systems, human error has been reduced.
Looking ahead, the Enerjisa production teams plan to organize solutions in the mine to help other central facility staff members spread the knowledge and usability of GIS solutions to monitor all mining activities in real time. Additionally, officials leading sustainability efforts saw how power plant staff used GIS to optimize operations, and this success is now guiding further infrastructure improvements including accessible roads, better waterways, and increased green spaces.
