Solutek Productivity Intelligence Reporting Ecosystem (SPIRE)

Overview

A single production reporting system that shows everyone the same truth, in near real time.

What happens to your mine’s profitability and safety when supervisors, engineers and managers are all working from different numbers?

Solutek SPIRE provides mine sites with a unified production reporting system that automatically captures and correlates data from PLCs, SCADA, lab systems, and planning tools into a single, accessible interface.

Instead of chasing spreadsheets, emails and standalone reports, your teams see the same near-real-time picture of how the plant is performing, where delays are emerging, and what needs attention now.

SCIAR Systems integrates SPIRE directly into its logistics platform and acts as an authorised reseller, so you get best‑in‑class production intelligence working hand‑in‑hand with world‑class bulk logistics.

If you are ready to replace manual reporting and fragmented views with integrated, actionable data, SPIRE is the layer that brings your operational reality into focus.

Key Business Benefits of SPIRE

Unified Data Access

SPIRE consolidates all your operational and production data into a single, user‑friendly reporting interface, so everyone, from the control room to management, works from the same accurate information.

By eliminating manual data collection and fragmented reporting, it reduces duplication, lowers errors, and accelerates daily decision‑making.

Real-time Performance Insights

Near-real-time dashboards and KPI modules provide instant visibility into plant and shift performance.

Supervisors and managers can track throughput, downtime, and key metrics in real time, rather than waiting for end‑of‑shift or end‑of‑day reports.

Advanced Data Analysis

SPIRE’s Data Analysis module lets users interrogate large volumes of operational data, identify patterns and exceptions, and generate dynamic, customised reports.

This turns raw data into practical insight for process improvement, capital planning and continuous improvement programs.

Proactive Delay Accounting

The Delay Accounting module systematically captures and analyses both full and partial production losses.

Teams can quickly pinpoint bottlenecks, understand root causes of downtime and act early to minimise lost tonnes and reduce repeat issues.

Streamlined Shift and Operations Management

The Operations Manager module provides electronic shift logs, planning and production scheduling in one place.

It improves handovers, reduces reliance on paper logbooks and helps maintain compliance and continuity across shifts.

Secure & Open Integration

SPIRE stores data in an industry‑standard Microsoft SQL database, making integration with existing and future systems straightforward.

Your information remains secure, accessible and auditable, so you can trust it to support safety, compliance and business reporting.

Modular by Design

SPIRE’s modular architecture allows mine sites to start where the value is highest and expand over time.

Dedicated modules, including KPI dashboards, delay accounting, operations management, alarm analysis, train loading and more, have been developed with end users, resulting in intuitive interfaces and strong on‑site adoption.

SPIRE FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

SPIRE (Solutek Productivity Intelligence Reporting Ecosystem) is a production reporting and intelligence system for mine sites that unifies operational data from PLCs, SCADA, laboratory systems, and planning tools into a single, centralised reporting platform.

It replaces manual data collection and fragmented reports with near real‑time, consistent information for everyone.

 

 

SCIAR Systems integrates SPIRE’s production reporting and analytics directly into its logistics platform and also serves as an authorised SPIRE reseller.

Together, they connect what is happening inside the plant with how the product moves through your bulk logistics chain, giving you a clearer view of performance end‑to‑end.

 

 

SPIRE addresses outdated, manual data collection, inconsistent reports across departments, limited visibility into delays, and a limited ability to analyse production losses.

By centralising data and providing tools for dashboards, delay accounting and analysis, it helps mines improve productivity, safety and decision‑making.

 

 

No. Each module is developed in close collaboration with end users at mine sites, so interfaces reflect real workflows.

Interactive dashboards, electronic shift logs and straightforward reporting screens make adoption easier for operators, supervisors and engineers.

 

Yes. SPIRE is modular, allowing you to implement only the components you need, such as KPI dashboards or Delay Accounting, and add others like Operations Manager, Train Loading or Alarm Analysis as your requirements grow.

 

 

SPIRE captures detailed production and delay information, logs SCADA alarms and events, and maintains auditable records of shifts and operations.

This gives safety and compliance teams better visibility of what happened, when and why, and supports stronger governance across the site.

 

 

 

 

SPIRE uses an industry‑standard Microsoft SQL database and an open-integration approach, making it straightforward to connect to your existing controls, lab, and planning systems.

Deployment is typically phased so you can bring modules online without disrupting production.
