It is no secret that digitalization and automation are transforming how mining is done, from the earliest stages of development drilling to the final steps of a project. But while many of the available mining software solutions are used to perform highly specific functions, in recent years innovative companies have developed robust platforms that can optimize multiple areas of a mining project and manage the large volumes of data these projects produce.
