Mining

AGL Energy is one of Australia’s leading integrated energy companies and the largest ASX listed owner operator and developer of renewable energy generation in the country.  

The Loy Yang open cut brown coal mine in Victoria’s Latrobe Valley, near Traralgon, is owned and operated by AGL Energy. At this site, the company’s objective was to streamline the provision of daily requirements and combine that data with real-time findings to evaluate the shifts’ production levels.

During each shift, the daily directions and targets had to be conveyed to the operations staff, indicating the requirements in terms of quantity and quality of the coal. Detailed information about the status and availability of the major equipment was also needed. 

To achieve this, AGL Energy Loy Yang Mine decided to implement Hexagon’s j5 Operations Management Solutions. AGL uses j5 Operations Logbook, j5 Shift Handover, j5 Work Instructions and j5 event management capabilities throughout its operations along with j5 templates and reporting functionalities to meet it's extensive requirements. j5 connects to the Aveva™ PI System™ that allows current and future planning data to be provided to j5 Operations Management Solutions.

This helps build the requirement details and shift production levels, enabling improved operations workflow. j5 Operations Management Solutions are saving time by producing concise requirements and directions at the start of each shift. All relevant information is available to the entire AGL Energy Loy Yang Mine operations crew allowing for greater communication and planning.
