DHI offers unified approach to mine water management with launch of MIKE Mine

DHI has released MIKE Mine, a model-based digital twin designed to address inefficiencies in mine water management. In the mining industry, water-related data and models often exist in silos, leading to inefficient management, increased stoppages and lost productivity. Traditional methods create a reliance on external consultants due to separately stored and inaccessible groundwater data and models. DHI’s newly launched MIKE Mine eliminates these inefficiencies by providing a centralised platform that democratises the modelling process.
 
MIKE Mine empowers mine operators to efficiently manage, access and interact with their measured and modelled water data through an intuitive web interface. The platform not only enhances operational decisions but also reduces downtime due to water management failures and cuts costs associated with external consulting services. Its compatibility with existing databases and ability to host on secure, compliant cloud environments make it a versatile and secure choice for the industry's evolving needs.
 
 
Key features and benefits of MIKE Mine:
 

Streamlined data management

Store all water data in one secure database for full control and immediate access
Visualise data in intuitive map or table views
Upload, update and quality control data via a user-friendly web platform, saving time and reducing errors




Seamless integration with existing databases

Avoid disruption via seamless integration with existing data management systems
Eliminate costly overhauls or replacements by leveraging existing data infrastructure




Accurate model management

Store model data and results alongside measured data for easy comparison and verification
Maintain up-to-date and accurate models to support informed decision-making and reduced operational risks




User-friendly model interaction

Create new model scenarios quickly and easily through a straightforward web platform
Empower users of all experience levels to tailor scenarios to their needs




Customisable dashboarding and reporting

Customise dashboards to meet specific reporting requirements
Independently manage dashboards and reports to streamline workflows




Expert customer support and robust infrastructure

Access reliable and knowledgeable customer support from experts in MIKE Mine and groundwater management
Enjoy secure, ISO 27001-certified cloud hosting, ensuring compliance with industry standards and scalability to meet growing needs



‘With the ability to independently create, modify and simulate scenarios without specialised software or expertise, mine operators can directly manage both present and future mine-water needs’, says Ferdinand Flechtner, Senior Consultant at DHI. ‘This capability positions them to address critical challenges such as operational efficiency, environmental compliance and proactive risk management’, he adds.

APM Terminal’s Pier 400 reduces container rehandles by 90% with DHI’s Yardsafe system

APM Terminal’s Pier 400 in Los Angeles is the largest privately-run container terminal in the Western Hemisphere. With safety and efficiency at the heart of this modernised operation, the team at Pier400 adopted DHI’s NCOS ONLINE Yardsafe system to simultaneously increase yard productivity and improve safety ratings.
 
‘We already have a very high level of safety for our workers. But we continue to seek new ways to improve safety even further, and with NCOS ONLINE Yardsafe from DHI, we have not only been able to reduce the number of toppling incidents dramatically but also to improve efficiency with a 90% reduction in housekeeping moves related to wind events’, explains Rob Byers, Director of Project Management at APM Terminals.
 
 
How it works
The NCOS ONLINE system is an award-winning technology platform developed for ports and terminals to maximise utilisation of marine assets and improve safety and reliability of marine operations.
 
More specifically, the NCOS ONLINE Yardsafe system provides Pier 400 with 48-hour advance warning of container toppling risk in the yard, down to each individual box. Through an interactive, 3D display, operators can see exactly which containers are at risk of toppling based on container position, weight and wind conditions. They can also download a list of critical container moves required to return to a safe operating environment.
 
The power of early warnings‘We include the information from Yardsafe in our morning daily stand-up meeting. When there is wind coming, it is our sole source of truth for both forecasting and actionable intelligence’, says Rob Byers. ‘We’ve had no shutdowns related to wind toppling since we implemented the system in 2023.
 
Yardsafe offers detailed insights into which container stacks are at risk of toppling over and when, reducing unnecessary conservatism in yard operations. In fact, the team at Pier 400 has seen that they will need to move approximately 10% of its empty container inventory due to a given wind event based on warnings from Yardsafe. Prior to implementation, though, they would have moved closer to 100% of their empties.
‘Because we are a highly modernised port, it becomes incredibly complex to shut down individual sections of the port. With the fast and smooth implementation of Yardsafe from DHI, we now have much more efficient operations and an even safer working environment for our people’, concludes Rob.
