Managing Your Liquid Assets
Fuel is the biggest consumable for any operation, and a critical lifeline that can bring production to a screeching halt when not properly managed.
Achieving the Elusive Continuous Pour-Through Real-Time Backfill Monitoring
For mines where backfilling is possible – and especially for mines that have selected paste backfilling as their backfill method of choice –...
Let’s Get Excited About Real-Time Location Tracking UNDERGROUND – Again…
Location tracking in underground mines can be traced back as far as the 1980s to when the main technology used was RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) Tag Readers placed in the roof of the tunnel.
Getting the most out of your tech suppliers; what governs a successful partnership?

Payload Monitoring: The Cornerstone to an Efficient Mine
Real-time understanding of your operation enables you to make decisions that impact the outcome now, when it will have the greatest impact. Actions taken at the face have a multiplier effect on downstream operations – maximising payload from the face minimises lost opportunities in the form of spare and/or idle capacity elsewhere. Real-time understanding of your payload is the cornerstone to an optimised operation – Monitor, Manage, Optimise.
