Solutions for Mining

Master risk from mine to terminal

Run mining risk management with the KPIs of every mine, plant and terminal on the same dashboard. Track safety, critical controls and environmental targets at the pace of the operation, and see the deviation while there is still time to act.

Risk management in the daily operation

The risk your operation has to control arrives as a requirement: a standard, an audit finding, an internal rule. In Stratws, that requirement goes through four steps until it becomes evidence.

See how Stratws tracks the full non-conformance management cycle, with effectiveness checks run by a different group from the one that executes.

The requirement opens the record

Every requirement in a standard or internal rule that calls for treatment opens an occurrence, already classified by unit, origin and recurrence.

The cause is treated with method

Five Whys, Ishikawa and the Prioritization Matrix guide the analysis, so the corrective action goes after the origin of the deviation found in the field.

The deviation gets an owner and a deadline

The action plan is tied to the cause, with an owner, a deadline and a progress percentage, and every stage change alerts whoever needs to act.

The evidence is ready for the auditor

Attached evidence, effectiveness check and a log with date, time, user and the before and after of every change show what was done.

Your operation's results under your command

From the mine face to the refinery, you track your KPIs in one place and walk into the results meeting with an answer ready for every result. With AI, your reporting becomes more strategic and predictive.

Operations

Operations directors and mine managers track production, cost and safety for every unit on the same standard, and see where the corporate target is being lost.

HSE

Health, safety and environment teams see every legal requirement and critical control with an owner, a deadline and the status of the action that treats each deviation.

Compliance

Sustainability, governance and internal audit find the evidence for every commitment recorded in the areas' routine, without chasing spreadsheets unit by unit.

Workplace safety KPIs tied to strategy

Link every workplace safety KPI to the strategic objectives and track them all in Farol, comparing units by the same criteria. When one misses its target, your correction plan is created linked to the KPI.

With Stratws AI, run predictive analyses on the safety history and the context of the operation. The risk trend shows up before it reaches the results, and mitigation starts sooner.

  • Critical controls

    Each critical control can be tracked as a verification KPI, with a compliance target and an owner for the field check. A failed check opens an action with a deadline, and the history shows in which units it recurs.

  • Accident frequency rate

    The frequency rate relates the accidents in a period to the hours worked. Farol shows the history of every unit against previous years, and contractors' KPIs can follow the same standard as the company's own workforce.

  • HSE connected to production

    Health, safety and environment use the same occurrence, action and evidence cycle as the operation. Safety deviations are cross-checked against other production KPIs, and the most effective decision is made with confidence.

Master the return on your sustainability metrics

Track in Stratws the sustainability metrics committed to as public targets, such as emissions, water use, renewable energy and restored land, alongside your other KPIs, with a target, an owner and a measurement frequency.

With Stratws AI, the analysis behind the sustainability report cross-checks the data history with the year’s context, with clear correlations and depth. From the corporate commitment to each unit’s target, Stratws shows the whole strategy tree.

The next audit won't wait for the spreadsheet to close

Today, every control item at a mining company lives in a different spreadsheet: inspections, critical controls, permits, environmental targets. When the auditor or the regulator arrives, the scramble starts for files, versions that don’t match and answers that don’t convince. The pressure lands on whoever answers for the operation, and the distrust lands on the company.

  • Evidence ready when the auditor asks

    Every control, inspection and permit is recorded with attachments and a log of date, time and user. You open the record and show the proof, without chasing files.

  • One number for auditor, board and operation

    Control items from every unit live in the same place, with the same formula. The version the auditor sees is the one the operation tracks every day.

  • Open items closed before the visit

    Overdue actions, critical deadlines and recurrences are visible on the dashboard. The team handles each open item before the inspector asks about it.
