Microsoft Power BI improves efficiency and safety As a tool that aggregates, analyses and visualises data, Power BI has been implemented with the assistance of the Wesfarmers Chemicals, Energy and Fertilisers (WesCEF) IT team who helped configure and troubleshoot the models as part of a collaborative approach at WesCEF. The models draw information from a variety of sources including MacroView Historian (plant data), Labware, Cintillate, Appointment Book and JDE, generating useful data for engineers, supervisors and managers to monitor and view key plant metrics. WesCEF Chief Information Officer Alex Larson said the models relayed information about parameters such as pressures, temperatures and flow rates, as well as production, utility usage, lab results, and quality measures. “Having successfully implemented Power BI’s features, AGR […]

Algorithms drive innovation at AGR Australian Gold Reagents (AGR) has implemented internally-built technology upgrades for solution sodium cyanide scheduling and despatch which is saving time, improving efficiency and reducing the potential for human error.

While this process has operated well for many years, there were some potential risks including double handling, paper based processes, human error – as some documentation was hand written and relied on specific customer knowledge – due to rules around tank sizes, levels, usage, delivery day, timing and reorder points. Over an eight month period, incremental releases of the solution […]
