Case Study: a leading zinc mining company streamlines underground operator reporting with DataCloud's FieldPortal

DataCloud digitally transformed operator input to streamline reporting for a remote underground mine

Leading Zinc Mining Company, a remote underground zinc mine, needed a better way to collect daily production data because limited underground connectivity forced operators to use paper forms. This made reporting and analysis time-consuming, error-prone, and difficult to integrate with a central database.

DataCloud implemented FieldPortal, a mobile reporting application that works offline underground and uploads data to the cloud when connectivity is available. By mimicking existing paper forms and adding pre-programmed fields and validation, DataCloud improved data accuracy and made adoption easier, while automatically generating shift reports and updating dashboards in MinePortal to save crews hours of work each day.
