IMPOWER TECHNOLOGIES® Ten Year Anniversary

September 2019 marks the ten-year anniversary IMPOWER TECHNOLOGIES® (IMPOWER™).

IMPOWER™ was founded to introduce intelligent asset management across the energy and natural resources (ENR) sector for a safer and more reliable way of operating.

While consulting across the mining industry, I discovered that failures of large-scale critical assets could be avoided by equipping the on-site maintenance, engineering and planning teams with standardised and repeatable tools, systems and processes to identify and manage the risk of asset failure.

We also needed to simplify the presentation of critical information to the executive-level in such a way that risk could be identified before it became a crisis.

In 2010, the original company vision expanded IMPOWER™ to include software development.  The MRMP® Solution for Asset Integrity Management was born.

Since 2010, IMPOWER TECHNOLOGIES® MRMP® Solution has significantly improved the way asset integrity is managed across the ENR sector.

Employees within the resources sector will come and go, they will move across organisations and priorities will change.  However, as a technology provider, we provide a constant point of contact for these organisations.

Innovation is not a one-off event.  Innovation requires companies to continually build on and develop technologies to address industry problems.  Being a technology provider means that IMPOWER™ can transfer this technology across industry, making it safer and more effective for industry as a whole.

Congratulations to all suppliers that service the Australian Mining Equipment, Technology and Services (METS) sector and thank you to the clients that have supported us.  It is through these collaborations that we can advance our industry, add value to clients to make our industry safer and more effective.

IMPOWER™ is celebrating ten years in the Australian Mining Equipment, Technology and Services (METS) Sector.

Merry Christmas from IMPOWER™
