How much control and monitoring do you have over your work processes?

Ampla is a leading manufacturing execution system (MES) software solution that addresses these operational challenges.

What is Ampla Inventory?

Ampla Inventory is a module of Ampla MES software solution, which is working today for some of the world’s largest mining organisations. Ampla bridges communication between the plant floor and corporate – it is at the coalface of the operation. Ampla provides mining organisations with the competitive edge to realise business and operational targets, ensuring increases in market share and shareholder return.

Designed to help mining organisations manage, control and understand their inventory, it provides both operational managers and management with realtime inventory data. The system has been built to support mining’s unique set of inventory requirements, as outlined in the table below.

Ampla Inventory supports a range of processing, stacking, reclaiming and stockpile management philosophies. It provides visibility at a work centre level to enable increased control of the use and storage of raw materials and monitors in realtime the progress of material through an operation, tracking both manual and automated movements

Business benefits

Ampla Inventory enables visibility into your production reducing unnecessary production costs, ensuring on time delivery and customer satisfaction.

Operational data becomes available to management for business planning and revenue forecasting. Customer expectations can be met by having more control over production to meet sales and orders. It allows you to have tighter control over finished goods and stockpiles, and supports your delivery commitments, ensuring you have the right product at the right place at the right time. And with increased emphasis on reduction of energy efficiencies, Ampla Inventory reduces unwanted waste and frees up production resources to work on the right priorities.

For mining organisations with metallurgical accounting requirements, Ampla Inventory provides metal balance data that produce metallurgical accounting reports.
