DEPLOYING AUTOMATION, OPERATIONAL READINESS AND ASSET HEALTH MANAGEMENT
The Problem
Operational Technologies are required to maintain safe and predictable production for autonomous systems.
Operational Technology is typically not considered or included in standard maintenance activities which results in the introduction of instability that is not obvious to mining operators. Not maintaining and monitoring operational technology results in increased operating instability, drives reactivity and increases cybersecurity vulnerability.
The Solution
Imvelo has the experience and ability to remotely identify and reduce operational technology impacts on automated systems resulting in improvements in safety, cyber security risk exposure, productivity, cost and ESG.
