Webinar: The Future of Mine Design with AVEVA E3D
In this session, Rio Tinto will share how AVEVA E3D is being used in conjunction with Deswik MDM to optimize detailed engineering of mine infrastructure in context with the vast geoscience dataset, enabling real-time collaboration and decision-making across disciplines and engineering teams.

Setting out to reduce engineering and construction costs, reduce risk and improve access to information, Rio Tinto have redefined how they design, engineer, deliver, and hand over projects. After success with AVEVA’s Engineering tools, the team is now applying this methodology to underground mines.
In this session, Rio Tinto will share how AVEVA E3D is being used in conjunction with Deswik MDM to optimize detailed engineering of mine infrastructure in context with the vast geoscience dataset, enabling real-time collaboration and decision-making across disciplines and engineering teams.
This presentation goes beyond traditional fixed plant design - showcasing a smarter, more connected way to design the mines of the future.
