Case Study: Ok Tedi Mining achieves 82% file deduplication and 16x productivity gains with Accruent's RedEye

How Digital Solutions Enhanced Remote Access For Ok Tedi Mining in the Dense Rainforest of PNG

Ok Tedi Mining Limited operates the long-running open‑pit copper, gold and silver mine at Mt. Fubilan in Papua New Guinea, 2,000m up in dense rainforest with very low-bandwidth communications. The team needed a reliable drawing and document management solution to consolidate a legacy library of roughly 900,000 files, regain control of engineering documentation, and support ongoing capital projects and maintenance in a challenging remote environment.

Ok Tedi implemented Accruent’s cloud-based RedEye with low‑bandwidth and offline mobile capabilities and used bulk data tools to clean and consolidate their archive. The deployment reduced files from 900,000 to 165,000 (an 82% duplicate reduction), centralized documentation, and boosted data‑management throughput from about 50 to 800 artifacts per week (≈16× productivity), enabling faster, offline-capable access to up‑to‑date drawings and ongoing process improvements.
