3rd Annual Global Mining Technology Forum

06.06.2012 - 07.06.2012 | Johannesburg, South Africa

The Mining sector is heading towards automation. The sector has both; the need and the money to drive automation research. Companies need to think about how all mining processes and systems can work automatically together. There exists a range of technologies and techniques that help mine operators get the most out of both; their deposits and their workforce. Trends such as reduced energy, water use and falling grades of ore in the mining industry are driving the need for further development of technology.
