OFF THE ROAD TIRE MONITORING
Mining is essential to the global economy. After all, there would be no such thing as an iPhone without mining.
Mine operators around the world are under pressure to produce in a difficult environment that goes through cycles of boom and bust depending on commodity prices. Every possible efficiency is explored as they try to stay competitive.
For surface mine operators, one of the most critical pieces of equipment is the haul truck that moves rock and ore to the crusher
The mining industry is so colossal that I thought it would be genuine to set off the first among several conversations not in terms of sectors (crushing, maintenance, drilling, processing, tunneling, underground mining, etc.), but connectivity, for what it is worth, which I believe is one of the most sensitive aspects in mining as it touches all those sectors.

Prior to understanding the theory of constraints, I always had a difficult time identifying what the “current” bottleneck of the operation was. I operated in a way which would maximise production in every area of the mine site,
No industry is altogether free from uncertainty, but mining professionals are challenged with a unique set of concerns. Some of these are related to growing pains of the past. Some are linked to radical projections for the future. The industry itself is composed of organisations, teams, and individuals who feel pressure points in different ways. If we intend to make our industry as productive and efficient as it ought to be, smarter technical decisions are only half the battle. We need to under
