SOQUEM, a subsidiary of Investissement Québec, is a leader in Québec’s mineral exploration industry. The organization wanted to increase its digital maturity and move over to Industry 4.0. Its priorities included structuring its project data and standardizing its management, automating internal processes and leveraging artificial intelligence (AI) technologies.
BBA experts first performed a digital diagnostic 4.0 that revealed possible improvements to meet SOQUEM’s needs. This made it possible to design an action plan and define priorities for both the short and long terms, enabling the implementation of innovative technological solutions.
BBA experts then proposed a solution to aggregate data from multiple sources within a centralized and standardized structure. Throughout the project, a multidisciplinary team of geologists, geomaticians, programmers, integrators and data scientists made sure that SOQUEM made the best decisions, especially when choosing an advanced data analysis platform. They paid special attention to the user-friendliness of proposed solutions, which geologists would use.
