Talison Lithium
Talison Lithium optimizes its mining operations with AVEVA solutions
Talison Lithium, the world's leading lithium producer, plays a key role in the energy transition by supplying the batteries that store solar, wind and wave energy. With complex processes spread across several plants and many data sources, the group struggled to standardize its KPI calculations, relied on manual entry in Excel and needed to simplify remote access to its tools. Deploying AVEVA Production Management, AVEVA Historian, AVEVA Insight, AVEVA Plant SCADA and the AVEVA Flex subscription program made it possible to build a unified mine-to-port system. The benefits match the stakes: root cause analysis has been accelerated by 50%, month-end reconciliation is more efficient and accurate thanks to automated data collection, downtime is decreasing thanks to targeted identification of causes and locations, and AVEVA Flex allows licenses to be activated in hours rather than weeks, freeing up teams day to day.

FAQ
How does AVEVA support a lithium producer in the energy transition?
Talison Lithium, the world's leading lithium producer, supplies the batteries that store solar, wind and wave energy. AVEVA Production Management, Historian, Insight, Plant SCADA and the Flex program build a unified system from mine to port. This integrated platform supports the production of a critical raw material for the energy transition, ensuring reliability, traceability and industrial performance across a complex mining site that requires end-to-end coordination.
How does AVEVA Production Management speed up root cause analysis in mining?
AVEVA Production Management combines contextual data from operators, engineers and metallurgists with performance history in a unified interface. At Talison Lithium, moving tags into Production Management sped up root cause analysis by 50% and improved diagnostic accuracy. This efficiency transforms maintenance and continuous improvement: teams identify anomalies faster, target corrective actions and build on lessons learned to reduce future downtime.
Why replace Excel with AVEVA for mining data collection?
Before AVEVA, Talison Lithium relied on manual entry in Excel spreadsheets for its production reports, with complex calculations and a high risk of error. AVEVA Production Management and Historian automate data collection, standardize KPI calculations across plants and ensure KPI consistency. Month-end reconciliation becomes more efficient and accurate, freeing teams from repetitive, low-value tasks so they can focus on analysis and decision-making.
What role does AVEVA Flex play in license management for a distributed mine site?
The AVEVA Flex subscription program allows Talison Lithium to activate licenses in hours rather than weeks, freeing teams from the tedious management of traditional licenses. This agility is valuable for a mine site where needs change quickly (new projects, new users, remote access). Flex turns software consumption into a flexible service aligned with actual usage, and is a strategic asset for industrial companies that want to modernize their data infrastructure without contractual rigidity.
How can AVEVA unify data from mine to port?
With AVEVA, Talison Lithium tracks every stage of its value chain: mining, crushing, stockpiling, production, finished product storage and shipping. This data continuity, ensured by Production Management, Historian and Plant SCADA, provides end-to-end visibility into yields, losses and bottlenecks. Users access reliable, accurate data wherever they are, in a connected-mine approach that transforms operational management and supports the lithium producer's competitiveness in a fast-growing market.
