Transforming natural resource management for a changing world with IoT

Managing the world’s natural resources has always involved continually developing and innovating to meet the various challenges the planet presents. But with resources increasingly difficult to find and exploit, and sites, as a result, becoming more remote, companies are facing a new set of challenges and having to work harder than ever before.

This is increasing costs and reducing margins. Deeper, farther and more complex operations increase risk, placing greater demands on people, equipment and the environment. This heightens the sector’s social, commercial and environmental responsibilities, which are underlined by new zero-tolerance legislation. However, the Internet of Things (IoT) can now connect people and assets to help you flourish in this new world. Expertly planned end-to-end IoT monitoring of your operations, hosted on our fast, reliable network, collects key data in real time, which can then be analyzed to provide real-time visibility across your operations and deliver valuable insight to enable you to:  

• Go farther and deeper than ever
• Make quicker, better decisions
• Work more effectively and efficiently

Transform modern mining with faster, better decision-making

The increasing scarcity of mineral reserves means mining companies are having to go deeper and farther in their search and exploitation of the world’s natural resources. What’s more, increasingly complex processes are required to extract these reserves.

The result is a more disparate mining operation at a time when closer and more detailed collaboration is needed between the mine itself and off-site managers and experts. More remote extraction sites mean fewer people on the ground, demanding stronger and quicker off-site support. Meanwhile, better decisions need to be made regarding the assets needed due to the major logistical and transport challenges.
