THE CATERPILLAR CONUNDRUM
When managing open pit mining operations, superintendents face significant challenges due to antiquated software systems. Such systems can obfuscate operational inefficiencies, rather like searching for a needle in a haystack, given their inability to effectively collect, analyze and monitor real-time data. Without the requisite tools to accurately pinpoint inefficiencies, productivity invariably takes a hit, much like an orchestra trying to harmonize without a complete score
