Four Ways that Technology is Remolding the Digital Supply Chain

December 16, 2019

Scudo: A Proposal for Resolving Software Supply Chain Insecurities in Vehicles

whitePaper | July 15, 2022

For many years supply chain security appears to have been something of a second-tier priority for both software developers and the companies that rely upon their product. It was more common to focus attention on what happens after the software is built, through code reviews, penetration testing, and the development and implementation of patches and updates. This type of approach overlooks the very real possibility that, even with all the efforts mentioned above, end users still have no guarantee they are actually installing the application originally conceived as a code base. Over time, this somewhat myopic vision has given malicious actors multiple opportunities to insert malware or damage images. But, recent events have rapidly forced the industry to take a wider perspective on how software security is defined.

Production Forecasting for Mining Operations with Simulation

whitePaper | May 17, 2022

Effectively managing the delivery of ore through the “pit-to-port operations” from the mining pit, through the plant, to the port where it is loaded onto a ship is a difficult task. It involves the management of discrete teams from the mining operation, plant operations, loading hauling, rail, port operations, marketing, and shipping. Most of these teams are driven by key performance indicators (KPIs) that focus on the group's performance that in some cases is not aligned to the overall efficient pit-to-port operation. For instance, the objective of minimising rehandling cost at the run of mine (ROM) could impact final product quality when loaded onto a ship. For efficient and effective pit-to-port operations it is important to effectively balance the trade-off between each groups operations to maximise profit whilst minimising risk.
