|
| Part 1: Putting minds in our mines
|
| The mining and metals industry operates in remote and often harsh environments, posing unique challenges for integrating advanced technologies. These challenges are more related to people and processes than technology; a lack of collaboration between different roles within the mine-to-market value chain leads to data and knowledge silos. To address these challenges, it’s crucial to change the perspective.
