OREN
Shell LubeExpert
introducing digital innovations to help solve frictions encountered across value chains - everything from operations and safety to sustainability and supply chain . Research found those customers reported 80 % of the same pain points : including difficulty to aggregate data to make actionable insights ; siloed organisations ; managing the energy transition ; and how to deploy autonomous technology in a way that doesn ’ t impact the safety of employees .
Chen notes that while there is optimism around the uptake of Industry 4.0 and its long-term benefits , mining is a sector that finds it difficult to convert intention into action . Depleting ore reserves and declining ore grades in existing operations mean that companies have to mine deeper to reach new deposits , which in turn increases costs – problematic when Industry 4.0 often requires high up-front investment . “ This is where we believe that Oren can help mining companies not only understand what their underlying pain
points are , but also identify solutions to address this pain quickly ,” pledges Chen .
Bringing together Shell and IBM ’ s expertise , Oren not only offers field-proven solutions but also pilot opportunities for pioneering technologies . Tailored to specific mining use cases meeting the latest industry challenges ,
“ We ’ re able to demonstrate a clear progress path year on year to help with cost savings , decarbonisation and digital transformation . We ’ re here to play our role and support that shared goal ”
