Transforming Mining with Industrial Mathematics
Live Webinar
Want to know how you can leverage your data to make impactful mining decisions?
When we talk about transformation within the mining industry, many of us think immediately of digitalisation and data. On its own, data cannot guarantee the right business outcomes. Rather, it is the decision science and organisational readiness that not only delivers solutions, but tremendous impact and value.
Join Polymathian and industry veteran Rod Smith of Beresford Advisory, as we take a look at how Industrial Mathematics is helping the mining industry make smarter decisions to operate more efficiently and maximise profitability.
In this session we explore how Industrial Mathematical decision support tools have successfully unlocked enormous value for a number of large mining companies using a range of case studies. In these challenging times, directing smart value-chain thinking and potent Industrial Mathematics can help miners maintain a competitive position in the market.
What Will Be Covered?
- A new era of sophistication in mining looms
- Industrial Mathematics and the power of decision support tools
- Unlocking the value in mining
- Project case studies
