In the Pilbara Region of Western Australia, Rio Tinto owns and operates the largest fully-owned and integrated bulk supply chain in the world, producing and exporting 1 million tons of iron ore per day to steel mills around the globe.
The Integrated Scheduling team based in Perth is at the heart of this operation, making thousands of complex mine, rail, and port decisions every day.Over the last two decades the operation has almost tripled in size, making it more difficult to schedule efficiently with increasingly dated systems. Rio Tinto decided to embark on a journey to replace their dated, mission-critical systems with a modern and scalable AI scheduling platform.
The Future Scheduling Platform is the first major step in this modernization journey, enabling a dedicated team of 50 schedulers to make optimal rail and port scheduling and execution decisions. Key elements of this solution include:
Essa nova plataforma já resultou em uma produtividade significativa de 3 meses. O sucesso da plataforma de agendamento futuro e a parceria inovadora com o BCG X estabeleceram as bases para trabalhos futuros em todo o Rio Tinto, onde técnicas semelhantes de IA podem ser usadas para ajudar seu povo a tomar melhores decisões.
