Mining Industry Enters Era of Data-Driven Operations

National mining company PT Amman Mineral Nusa Tenggara (AMMN) has begun strengthening its use of data, artificial intelligence (AI), and cloud technology. This is being done to integrate all operational lines, encompassing mining, smelting, power generation, and regasification facilities.

Vice President Corporate Communications of Amman, Kartika Octaviana, said digitalisation has become a key part of the company’s strategy in managing an increasingly integrated business. This addresses the growing operational complexity of the company while accelerating data-driven decision-making across all business units.

“At Amman, digitalisation is an integral part of the company’s business strategy. Through increasingly integrated systems, we continue to strengthen governance, accelerate decision-making, and optimise company performance,” said Kartika on Thursday (13/8).

She added that the use of data, automation, and technology is directed at supporting operational efficiency while ensuring the sustainability of the company’s business performance. Since 2020, Amman has built a digital foundation connecting various business functions, from finance, procurement, and human resources to data management and analytics within a single integrated ecosystem.

This integration, she said, enables faster and more transparent data flow between units, thereby improving efficiency in managing company operations.

The digital transformation efforts have since received recognition at the SAP Customer Excellence Awards for SEA 2026, where Amman won awards in the Autonomous Suite and Data & AI categories.

These categories assess a company’s ability to build automated, interconnected digital work processes and to use data as the basis for business decision-making. Amman’s digital transformation has also been applied to customer-facing services through the development of an Automated Teller Gold Machine (ATGM).

This technology enables the process of buying and redeeming gold to be carried out digitally, from stock validation to real-time electronic transaction recording.

With a business scope covering mining, mineral processing, energy, and supporting infrastructure, data integration is considered an important factor in maintaining coordination between units while supporting company growth.

The recognition from SAP serves as validation of Amman’s digitalisation strategy, while also demonstrating the growing role of data, AI, and automation in managing an increasingly integrated mining industry.
