WHEN TIME IS MONEY

摘要

In the highly competitive world of mining software providers, a continuous investment in research and development and a constant focus on improving functionality, capability and integration is fundamental to survival. Meeting production targets to keep up with increasing demand, while overcoming a host of other issues such as a lack of skilled workers, stricter reporting standards and rising costs, is the biggest problem - and one which mining companies are looking to sole with technology. To avoid being left behind, mining technology suppliers must push the boundaries of what is possible, and mining companies must exploit this technology to ensure productivity is at peak levels. Upgrading software can be a cosily and time consuming process, but weigh up the short-term loss in productivity against the long-term positive benefits of faster information processing, more accurate models and better systems communications and the payback is clear. The next big question is which software solution to choose. By taking a close look at what's on offer, the decision should ultimately be simple.
