MICROCHIPS AND COMPUTERS LEAD MINING REVOLUTION

摘要

Microchip technology and computerization will radically change the operation of mining and quarrying as we know it today. All aspects of mining and quarrying operations will be affected, from raw materials extraction to end product delivery, through to business accounting and mangagement, Mr Eric Trueman, General Manager of Metso Minerals Asia Pacific's Regional Sales Support Group, told AJM Formerly known as Nordberg, Metso Minerals is a leading supplier of rock crushing and screening solutions.An example of this hi-tech future is provided by KWP Quarry Company's state-of-the-art aggregated plant in Hong Kong which was designed, installed and commissioned by Metso Minerals. The use of closed circuit television and the plant's built-in automation system means that one or two people can control the production of more than 1,000 t/h of aggregate.
