Abstract: An eight month study for a collaborative Remote Operations Centre (ROC) for the minerals and energy sectors in South Australia has been successfully completed and has set the foundation for an information and communications technology (ICT) innovation platform for remote applications. The aim of the project was to investigate the feasibility of a collaborative, open platform ROC that could contribute to productivity improvement, cost reduction, workplace safety and an innovation ecosystem for the minerals and energy sectors in South Australia. Development of the target IT architecture for a ROC collaborative software platform was the first of six outcomes. This platform would provide the initial design of a programming interface to enable future innovative ICT applications for the minerals and energy sectors to be easily developed with a specific focus on increasing productivity. The project team was led by IPACS Power, a South Australian ICT/defence small to medium-sized enterprise (SME) with the support of the University of South Australia (UniSA), OZ Minerals (South Australian based miner) and the Department of State Development. The ROC project was the first ICT Roadmap for Minerals and Energy Resources (ICT Roadmap) project to be funded through the Mining and Petroleum Services Centre of Excellence (CoE), an initiative of the South Australian Government that supports the development of capabilities in local supply chains to provide high value added products and services to the resources sector nationally and globally.
