CO2 Capture Technology & Management Decision Making
Norda Stelo is squarely focused on decarbonizing the mining and metals supply chain to enable a low carbon energy transition. In my previous article, Getting to a Carbon Neutral Mine Through Mine Waste CO2 Mineralization, the topic was how mines with the appropriate host orebody can offer important opportunities for long-term, permanent, CO2 removals. Questions were asked around other management opportunities should mineralization in tailings or waste rock not be an option and, for those focused on CO2 capture from flue gas, how to go about determining which capture technology to select. Let’s dive in.
Audit 4.0 complete? Time to get started!
Industry 4.0 encompasses a multitude of technology groups that can be applied in different ways to meet different business needs. As a result, it would be difficult for a company to achieve its digital transformation through a single project or by implementing a single system.
The Digital Shift in Manufacturing
Le secteur manufacturier est en constante évolution, et la transformation numérique joue un rôle essentiel dans ce changement. Les technologies présentes telles que l’automatisation, l’Internet des objets (IoT), l’intelligence artificielle (IA) et la réalité virtuelle (RV) transforment la façon dont les fabricants opèrent, créent de la valeur et interagissent avec leurs clients. Dans cet article, nous allons explorer ces différentes technologies de la transformation numérique dans le secteur manufacturier.
How to avoid replacing assets unnecessarily
Industry assets are at the heart of organizations’ production activities. The durability of both infrastructure and industrial assets (buildings, bridges, various networks, tanks, conveyors, crushers, lifting facilities, tailings ponds, etc.) is of paramount importance.
Managers must maintain the overall health of their asset inventory. Extending the life of assets allows to postpone direct investments in the most important ones. The financial pressure naturally decreases over time, thanks to the extension of their lifespan.
How does a mining company’s digital transformation contribute to better management of its assets?
The asset management stream of the mining sector’s digital transformation is well under way and very necessary. Whether we consider the issues of productivity, safety, the environment or competitiveness on global markets, several reasons motivate the search for sustainable asset lifecycle management solutions. Fortunately, the accessibility of modern technology performance tools now facilitates their adoption and the achievement of measurable and therefore useful results. This article provides an overview of what digitization represents in an effective asset durability management approach at a mining company.
How can we innovate in railway turntable design?
Turntables have existed since the 1830s, but nowadays they must adapt to brand-new requirements, which we will address in this article. We will also try to answer the question of how to transform them without generating exorbitant costs, while minimizing shutdown times?
Energy Management Information Systems (EMIS)
Media coverage of climate change is increasing and reducing greenhouse gases (GHG) is on the agenda of a majority of governments worldwide.
The future of smart parking
With a North American market estimated at $ 4.4 billion by 2025, smart parking is one of the fastest growing in the Internet of Things universe and is widely used around the world. In fact, its return on investment turns out to be much faster than one might imagine.
Digital Transformation, for a Sustainable Vision!
Cutting-edge manufacturing technologies are developing at an exponential pace, competition on the global scale is creating strong pressure on Québec companies, and the labour shortage is adding multiple challenges related to productivity. Is digital transformation becoming the solution?
