Connected Data Analysis Services: Mining Analytics and Reporting Software
The reporting and analysis layer built into every Connected Mine module. Build dashboards and reports on validated mine data, add commentary, and publish to Power BI.
Every report starts from scratch?
Data from different systems, calculations that live in someone’s spreadsheet, and comments lost in email. C-DAS puts the reporting on the same validated data and the same rules for everyone.
- ✕Report requests that sit in a queue for weeks
- ✕Every analyst with their own version of the same calculation
- ✕Comments about the numbers kept in emails, not with the data
- ✕BI teams rebuilding mine logic from raw tables in every new report
How a report is built
1
Query
Start from the validated Connected Mine data store, filtered to the interval and tags you need.
2
Transform
Calculate, join, pivot, union and unpivot, with each step visible on the canvas.
3
Visualise
Tables, matrices, multi-charts, waterfalls, Sankey, Gantt, heatmaps and spatial views.
4
Publish
Share dashboards and reports, export to PDF, or publish to Power BI.
Build reports visually
Drag components onto a canvas and connect them. Casual users get there quickly, and experienced analysts get the depth they need.
- ✓Query, filter, calc, join, pivot, union and unpivot components
- ✓Every step shows its row count and run time, so you can see where each number comes from
- ✓Custom calculations stored once and reused
- ✓Consolidate data from many sources, including external data
- ✓Share an investigation so others can use it as their starting point
The component palette and a report flow from interval to query to charts
Time waterfall: calendar time to value productive hours
Every view a mine runs on
From the shift report to the month end pack, built on the same data. See examples on our mining dashboards page.
- ✓Tables, matrices, multi-charts, scatter, pie and treemaps
- ✓Waterfalls for time usage and variance
- ✓Sankey diagrams for material flow, Gantt charts for delays and events
- ✓Gauges, heatmaps and calendars
- ✓Process diagrams built into the same view
- ✓Personal dashboards for individuals and shared focus points for teams
Loading summary: material moved, cycle times and payload by loader
Spatial views in the same builder
Spatial components sit in the same palette, so a map or a replay is built like any other report. The full 4D view is Connected Spatial Intelligence.
- ✓Spatial, point, line and polygon components
- ✓Spatial overlays: heatmaps, lines, points and polygons on the surface
- ✓Unit animation built from units, interval and surface queries
- ✓Mine data from Connected Mine Performance and plant data from Connected Process Performance in the same report

Corporate summary: three sites against budget, with comments on each variance
Commentary that stays with the data
Comments are attached to the numbers they explain, at any level of detail, so the story behind a variance is never lost.
- ✓Comments at any granularity, from a shift to a site to a month
- ✓Every comment linked to its data, as a solid base for audit
- ✓Actual against budget with the explanation alongside
- ✓Comparable views across sites, built on the same rules
One set of rules for every report
C-DAS is built into every Connected Mine module, so every report reads the same validated data through the same definitions.
Definitions stored once
Business logic, rules, tolerances and key metric definitions are stored in one place and used by everyone.
Custom metrics, safely
Define a new metric once and share it, instead of rebuilding it in every spreadsheet.
Built into every module
Production, drill and blast, plant, metal balance and spatial data, reported in one tool.
Use C-DAS, Power BI, or both
Keep reporting in C-DAS, publish to Power BI, or feed your own BI stack. The numbers are the same either way.
- ✓Publish reports to Power BI
- ✓A ready-to-go star schema for Power BI, Microsoft Fabric and Databricks with FactStream and StarStream
- ✓Data preparation done once, in the governed model, not in every report
- ✓The same metric definitions in C-DAS and in your BI tools

Connected Data Analysis Services FAQs
What is Connected Data Analysis Services?
Connected Data Analysis Services (C-DAS) is the reporting and analysis layer built into every module of the Connected Mine platform. It turns validated mine and plant data into dashboards, reports and analysis.
How are reports built?
Visually. You connect query, transform and visualise components on a canvas, and each step shows its row count and run time. Experienced analysts get advanced functions, and casual users can work with drag and drop.
Which charts and views are available?
Tables, matrices, multi-charts, waterfalls, treemaps, Sankey, Gantt, gauges, heatmaps, calendars, scatter and pie charts, process diagrams and spatial views.
Can we add comments to the data?
Yes. Comments can be added at any granularity and stay linked to the data they explain, which gives a solid base for audit.
Does it work with Power BI?
Yes. Reports can be published to Power BI, and FactStream and StarStream provide a ready-to-go star schema of Connected Mine data for Power BI, Microsoft Fabric and Databricks.
Is it a separate product?
C-DAS is the reporting and dashboard layer of the Connected Mine platform, built into every module, from mine performance to process performance and spatial intelligence.
