Description

Across the mining industry we have seen significant improvements in safety performance as we have deployed greater levels of process automation. This has typically taken the form of automating industrial processes and more recently load and haul fleets across mining  operations. In this way, our operational processes have become intrinsically safer, year on year.

Notably, risk and opportunity is shifting progressively more and more towards the maintenance domain, and how we extend engineering and technology in this area is going to grow in importance over the coming years.

In this session, we'll share the lessons learnt from  working with the women and men on the front line of our operations to apply emerging technologies (IoT, Edge Compute, Mixed Reality etc) in their day to day work. 

Together, we're driving the next wave of safety, productivity and sustainability across our industry.
