MINING DARES TO DREAM ABOUT REMOTE OPERATIONS

摘要

The ability to operate and monitor mines remotely has become even more important during the coronavirus pandemic, which has caused countries including Peru, Chile, Argentina and South Africa to impose nationwide lockdowns.The coronavirus halted mining activities in some countries, meaning the sector could not provide its usual economic contribution.Fortunately, companies such as Dares Technology are making it easier to monitor sites without having to be on-site, or even in the office.The Barcelona-based company provides operators with high-quality ground deformation maps, using radar satellites to monitor the stability of slopes in open pits, waste dumps and leach pads; rock stability in underground mines; and prevent tailings dam failures.
