Barrick Gold Cortez Process Turns to Industrial IoT to Maximize Uptime of Its Critical Assets
Barrick Gold Corporation, the largest gold mining company globally, has recently positioned themselves as a leader in predictive maintenance and digital transformation. In 2018 the company implemented the Asset Reliability & Optimization (ARO) System from Petasense to improve asset reliability and overall uptime. Today, reliability engineers at Barrick Gold are able to continuously monitor their critical machines using wireless sensors and predictive analytics, focus on the deteriorating ones and gain real time insights into asset utilization on their intuitive mobile and web dashboards.
Barrick's maintenance department has been able to avert several failures. Going a step further, they bring Petasense vibration data into PI AF database. The PI values are also linked to Bentley APM, which is linked with their CMMS. With these integrations in place, work orders can be generated automatically in an alarm event. The integration with PI is critical to Barrick's digital transformation.
