ABL Appointed to Digitise Canadian Mining Asset Base

ABL Appointed to Digitise Canadian Mining Asset Base

One of the world's leading mining and infrastructure solutions providers has appointed ABL's asset integrity management (AIM) team to update and streamline its inventory management processes in Canada.

The mining solutions provider utilises digital and automated technologies to create safer, more productive and sustainable mining operations on behalf of its customers. In addition, the company aims to apply this digital approach to its own operations. The client's manufacturing site in Canada has therefore selected ABL's asset integrity management unit to develop a bill of materials (BoM) and spare parts pilot project to streamline its inventory management processes through SAP, its computerised maintenance management system (CMMS).

This contract marks the expansion of ABL's consultancy service to support mining industries. Currently, ABL primarily provides its services to the renewable energy, oil and gas, and maritime industries, however its solutions in AIM and energy transition can be applied to bring value to a wider pool of industries including manufacturing, healthcare, food and drink, among others.

This pilot project focuses on enhancing asset integrity management and inventory management practices, underlining the industry-agnostic capabilities of this service line.

ABL's Calgary office will spearhead the project in collaboration with the client's local team in Canada.

"Our local presence in Calgary has been pivotal in fostering a collaborative relationship with our client as we can leverage on-site support to enhance project outcomes. Diversifying our portfolio by expanding to the mining sector is exciting for us as our technology and AIM services can be applied to any industry. We look forward to delivering high-quality results and nurturing a strong working relationship with our client,"

says Afia McClenaghan, managing director of ABL's asset integrity management team in Canada.
