Annual Global Mining Technology Forum 2013

Mining companies are focusing on bringing in the right technology to mechanize and balance it with the labor. Mechanization not only increases efficiency, it also boosts mine safety through technologies that take workers away from the most dangerous areas. Innovation is key and mining automation is a growing trend within the industry, from remotely controlled equipment to driverless trucks. The only way to improve productivity is through mechanisation of all processes and optimal automation of mining equipment.

The challenge for mining operations is to harness innovation to constantly improve the way in which mines are developed for long-term sustainability.
