Asset Management Digitalization at RIO TINTO

Project Overview:
Worley sought to digitize its asset management processes to enhance operational efficiency and improve data accuracy. The project involved implementing a digital solution that leveraged existing RT systems to support electronic capture of inspection details.

Challenges:

• Legacy Processes: Traditional paper-based maintenance processes were slow and prone to errors, impacting operational efficiency.
• Integration Requirements: The need to integrate digital solutions with existing systems without disrupting ongoing operations.
• User Adoption: Ensuring that field operators and maintainers were trained and ready to adopt new digital tools.

Solutions Implemented:

• Digital Platform Integration: Implemented an enhanced version of Paperless Maintainer, providing electronic capture of maintainer and operator rounds.
• Stakeholder Engagement: Worked closely with stakeholders to document business requirements and align digital solutions with operational needs.
• Training and Support: Developed training materials and conducted sessions to ensure smooth adoption of the new system.

Outcomes:

• Enhanced Data Capture: The digital platform improved data accuracy, allowing for real-time insights into asset health.
• Operational Efficiency: Reduced the time required for inspections and maintenance, resulting in a 20% increase in productivity.
• Improved Decision-Making: Enhanced visibility into asset performance enabled better decision-making and resource allocation.
