MinePoint BI

Delivering KPIs Made for Mining

Strategically-Focused KPIs and Detail/Root Cause Reporting

MinePoint Business Intelligence (BI) gives managers the information they need to:

This information is provided through a comprehensive set of KPIs accompanied by reporting that offers instant drill-through to all relevant details. MinePoint BI provides a foundation for understanding the root cause of performance issues and taking the decisions necessary to drive improved outcomes. This is achieved by collecting data at a detailed level from MinePoint Microsoft Dynamics AX and other operational systems and then structuring that data in a way that is consistent with typical maintenance processes.

Operational Efficiency

What do you need to make this happen?

MinePoint BI provides a robust solution for delivering relevant, timely, reliable and comprehensive information - delivered by an IT infrastructure that is cost-effective and easy to support.

Cost effective IT Platform

MinePoint BI is designed and built to leverage the power and business value of the Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 platform, taking advantage of Microsoft SharePoint to deliver comprehensive out-of-the-box capabilities that can be easily supported and extended in future.

Pre-Build Set Up

MinePoint BI is quick to implement and deploy with pre-built features such as: Pre-built integration to Microsoft Dynamics AX, Comprehensive suite of industry "best practice" KPIs, reporting and analytics Dashboards with guided navigation via SharePoint Portal, Ability to set KPI targets.

Pre-Built Integration

MinePoint BI provides a tightly integrated coupling to MinePoint Microsoft Dynamics AX with pre-built business logic and connectors ensuring consistent and reliable data updates and high quality data. For non-AX data, MinePoint BI's data staging layer is specifically designed to be populated from any common mining business application capable of providing the correct data to drive the KPIs and reports. MinePoint BI recognises that operations will have varying levels of sophistication and technology integration capability.

The Benefits

The key feature of MinePoint BI is that way it restructures transactional and operational data. This data is then presented in a way that clearly shows current performance and trends in critical areas of a maintenance operation. The KPIs and Reports are MinePoint's tools used by the maintenance organisation to improve maintenance processes and drive better outcomes.

Maintenance Cost Savings

Fewer failures & Increased Equipment Availability

• Failures in operation generally cost more as well as carrying safety and/or environmental impacts.
• More reliable equipment means more time available to contribute to production.

Improved resource utilisation

• Smoother, safer operations and less organisational stress is an outcome of more effectively planned and scheduled maintenance resources.

Out-of-the-Box KPIs

MinePoint BI delivers KPIs out-of-the-box (subject to availability of the data from your non-AX source systems).Additional KPIs can be easily developed based on the comprehensive scope and detailed granularity of the data captured in the MinePoint BI Data Warehouse. A sample of MinePoint BI KPIs:

Implementing BI

Eclipse offers MinePoint BI as an 'on-premise' product installation or on a 'Software-as-a-Service' (SaaS) basis, hosted and fully-managed by Eclipse and our Data Centre partners.

MinePoint BI is fully supported by Eclipse through our global Support Centre network under a Maintenance and Support agreement.

At Eclipse, we recognize that the 'out-of-the-box' capabilities delivered by MinePoint BI may not meet your unique business needs. Additional KPIs, reports, other functionality, or integration with other applications, and existing BI solutions may be required.

To facilitate this, Eclipse offers consulting expertise to ensure that your implementation of MinePoint BI is tailored to best suit your requirements.
