Integrated Operations Centre

Varied Roc Landscape

ROCs harness technology to ensure safe, reliable operations from a centralized location. However, the maturity and sophistication of these collaborative workplaces varies based on the capabilities available within the mining organization. Some companies have implemented cloud-based systems that aggregate site data into a single data lake that can b...

Observations from Reviewing Roc Implementations in Mining

When we analyzed the challenges organizations must overcome to capture full value, we were surprised to find that companies generally do not see the technology development or investment costs for ROC implementation as major pain points. As one CIO told us, “The technology is the easy part.” Numerous options for communications and data management ex...

What is an integrated operating center?

As a platform for significant productivity and quality improvement through optimized supply chain management, an integrated operating center (IOC) helps mining and metals companies rapidly pivot operating practices to align to ongoing changes in their operational priorities and in market demands.

What is an integrated security operations center (ISOC)?

An Integrated Security Operations Center (ISOC) is designed to collect, integrate, and analyze alarms and logs from these traditionally siloed organizations, providing much greater situational awareness to a utility’s security team.

What is an Operations Center characterization model?

et al. propose an operations center characterization model to create a common underlying framework for collaboration, which enables rapid data collections and visual analysis. • Other research efforts focus on building frameworks that are highly scalable. Wei et al.

What makes a good business integration center?

Effective integration requires that the ROC covers business-as-usual operation, operational risk, and business continuity, as well as safety and emergency responses. The center can serve as a catalyst to capture benefits such as frequent and rapid plan optimization, including real-time (even shift-to-shift) responsiveness to correct deviations.
