FORTAI’s SmartCubes are a new add-on for enterprise resource planning systems that manage resources and materials in real time for surface and underground mining operations. Part of the company’s Automated Delivery, Material Management and Inventory Technology (ADMMIT) system, SmartCubes include IoT sensors which identify materials such as tools, explosives or PPE and record how they are used, and upload the information to an inventory database through scans and smart image processing and recognition. “Once [a SmartCube] container is opened, materials can be easily placed inside or retrieved,” Trang​ Tran‑Valade, FORTAI President, told CIM Magazine. “When materials are removed, the ADMMIT central server is notified to update the Enterprise Resource Planning system, ensuring accurate real-time inventory management.”
