Abstract
Enabling data driven decision making that spans mining operations from mine-to-port is a complex and potentially overwhelming undertaking. It requires the right people, technologies, and data architecture to be successful. This session is for anyone working towards improving operations and decision making through digital transformation, including IT professionals, executives, engineers, and operations professionals. We will walk through how Barr Engineering has approached our own digital transformation journey and will show multiple examples of how we have helped our mining clients through various stages of their own journeys. We will discuss how Barr is working to develop the skillsets, culture, expertise, and architecture to enable data driven decision making, the business drivers behind our investment, and the learnings and challenges we have experienced along the way.
