In the mining industry, rugged tablets are transforming operations by increasing connectivity amongst workers and making information more accurate and immediate.

A Western Australian gold mine processing plant experienced repetitive failures in a horizontal grinding mill. As it was the most critical piece of equipment on site, having a predictive monitoring strategy for the mill was essential. However, the distant location of the mill made manual data collection inconvenient and expensive. What’s more, manually collected data … Continue reading Case Study: Discovering a trunnion bearing fault →

Production, innovation and efficiency are all a focus in mining. Minprovise outlines the benefits of increasing plant capacity by reducing the recirculating load that occupies usable volume in a circuit.

An effective revegetation strategy starts with a comprehensive soil analysis. Only then can a site-specific solution be developed for optimal rehabilitation and soil stabilisation. This case study shows the necessary steps to minimise dust and stabilise soil on batters around a typical mine operation.

With the fast-paced disruptive nature of technology, there is a need for a solution that evolves with the pace of technology while requiring minimal effort from the companies themselves.
