The case studies below describe types of initiative: why each one is required, how it is approached and the business value it generates. They are not claims about specific client engagements or achieved results. ## Company - [Engineering & Technology Consultants Perth](https://enco.au/about): Enco is an engineering and technology consultancy in West Perth, founded 2018, combining engineering design, data and software for mining and industry. - [Approach](https://enco.au/approach): How Enco works: listen first, understand your operating context on site, deliver with engineering and technology, then build capability so the change holds. - [FAQs](https://enco.au/faqs): Common questions about working with Enco: how engagements start, the disciplines we cover, how we approach cost and quality, and what follows handover. ## Experience - [Experience](https://enco.au/experience): Case studies on the initiatives mining and industrial operations undertake, why each one matters, how it is approached and the value it creates. - [Predictive maintenance and condition monitoring](https://enco.au/experience/predictive-maintenance-condition-monitoring): Why predictive maintenance programs pay off across mining and industrial operations, and how Enco builds condition monitoring platforms, drawing on references such as ISO 17359 and ISO 13374 where they fit. - [Rebuilding asset hierarchies and maintenance master data](https://enco.au/experience/asset-hierarchy-master-data-rebuild): Why operations rebuild CMMS asset hierarchies and maintenance master data, how to choose a taxonomy such as ISO 14224 or an internal standard, and how Enco approaches the rebuild. - [Automated operations reporting](https://enco.au/experience/automated-operations-reporting): Why mining and industrial operations automate reporting, and how Enco builds governed pipelines from ERP, telemetry and maintenance systems with full lineage. - [Real-time production analytics](https://enco.au/experience/realtime-production-analytics): Why processing operations invest in real-time production analytics, and how Enco integrates historian data over OPC UA with KPI definitions everyone agrees on. - [Work management and scheduling uplift](https://enco.au/experience/work-management-planning-scheduling-uplift): Why maintenance work management uplifts pay off, and how Enco rebuilds the work order lifecycle and weekly scheduling cadence around measures that hold their meaning. - [Telemetry and monitoring for remote assets](https://enco.au/experience/remote-asset-telemetry-monitoring): Why mining and industrial operations unify telemetry from remote assets, and how Enco builds IoT platforms with secure OT integration and exception-based alerting. - [Reliability engineering and asset strategy program](https://enco.au/experience/reliability-engineering-asm-program): Why asset strategy programs pay off, and how FMECA and reliability centred maintenance decision logic decide what each asset actually deserves. - [SQL data platform and ETL optimisation](https://enco.au/experience/sql-data-platform-etl-optimisation): Why industrial reporting platforms get rebuilt, and how Enco applies dimensional modelling, incremental ETL, indexing and data quality gates. - [Transfer chute redesign guided by DEM modelling](https://enco.au/experience/transfer-chute-dem-redesign): Discrete Element Method modelling identified why a critical transfer chute blocked in wet season ore, and guided a redesign that kept product flowing. - [Shutdown coordination platform](https://enco.au/experience/shutdown-coordination-platform): A custom application replaced spreadsheets and email chains for planning and running major shutdowns, giving the team one place to manage scope, logistics and labour. - [Grain flow paths and chute upgrades guided by DEM](https://enco.au/experience/grain-flow-paths-dem): Discrete Element Method modelling of receival and out-loading flow paths guided chute and liner upgrades that kept grain moving through peak harvest. - [Operational readiness for a new plant asset](https://enco.au/experience/operational-readiness-new-asset): A structured operational readiness plan got a new plant asset ready to run before handover, covering spares, master data, maintenance strategy and procedures. - [Structural design and certification of transport frames](https://enco.au/experience/transport-frame-certification): Structural design and certification of transport frames and supports for moving large fabricated items safely by road. ## Articles - [Articles](https://enco.au/articles): Practical articles on reliability, maintenance data, bulk materials handling and operational technology, written for mining and industrial teams. - [Reliability centred maintenance, and when criticality-led beats it](https://enco.au/articles/reliability-centred-maintenance-or-criticality): What reliability centred maintenance involves, how RCM compares with PMO, and when a criticality-led strategy delivers more value for less effort. - [What DEM modelling actually tells you about a transfer chute](https://enco.au/articles/dem-modelling-transfer-chutes): What DEM modelling shows about transfer chute flow, wear and blockages, why calibration decides whether the results are useful, and when to use it. - [Operational readiness, and the work that quietly gets skipped](https://enco.au/articles/operational-readiness-what-gets-missed): What operational readiness really covers beyond commissioning, the work that gets skipped before handover, and how to close it out before go-live. - [Master data is boring, until your schedule falls apart](https://enco.au/articles/master-data-and-your-schedule): How poor maintenance master data breaks planning and scheduling, which data quality symptoms to measure, and what a structured clean-up involves. - [Planning versus break-in: reading your schedule compliance](https://enco.au/articles/schedule-compliance-vs-break-in): How to read maintenance schedule compliance and break-in together, and what each pattern says about your work management process. - [Condition monitoring people actually act on](https://enco.au/articles/condition-monitoring-people-act-on): Why condition monitoring alerts get ignored, how to design a program around the P-F interval and failure modes, and how to measure whether it is working. - [Building software that runs a 24/7 operation](https://enco.au/articles/software-for-24-7-operations): Design principles for industrial software that runs 24/7: degraded-mode behaviour, safe OT integration, deployment without a window, and observability that reaches a human. ## Tools - [Tools](https://enco.au/tools): Free calculators for engineering and operations teams: OEE, MTBF and MTTR, downtime cost, schedule compliance, conveyor capacity and historian sizing. - [OEE Calculator](https://enco.au/tools/oee): Free OEE calculator. Enter availability, performance and quality to get Overall Equipment Effectiveness, with the loss behind each factor explained. - [MTBF / MTTR Calculator](https://enco.au/tools/mtbf-mttr): Free MTBF and MTTR calculator. Work out mean time between failures, mean time to repair and inherent availability from your own failure history. - [Cost of Downtime Calculator](https://enco.au/tools/cost-of-downtime): Free downtime cost calculator. Estimate what an outage actually costs from lost production, standby labour and duration, to ground the business case. - [Schedule Compliance Calculator](https://enco.au/tools/schedule-compliance): Free schedule compliance calculator. Measure planned work completed as scheduled and the share of break-in work, the numbers that expose planning drift. - [Conveyor Capacity Calculator](https://enco.au/tools/conveyor-capacity): Free troughed belt conveyor capacity calculator: volume and mass flow from belt width, speed, trough angle, surcharge angle and bulk density. - [Time-Series Data Volume Calculator](https://enco.au/tools/time-series-storage): Free historian sizing calculator. Estimate time-series storage from tag count, scan interval, compression ratio, replication and years of retention. ## Reference - [Glossary](https://enco.au/glossary): Plain-language definitions of mining, process plant, bulk materials, DEM, mechanical, reliability and data terms used in engineering and operations. - [Sitemap](https://enco.au/sitemap): Every page on the Enco website in one place: experience case studies, articles, calculators, the glossary, FAQs and company contact information.
