TRANSCRIPT
2 out of 3 miners struggle to integrate data across systems
…Data has been around a long time. One of the greatest challenges for digital transformation is actually turning it into something useful.
Former General Manager, Rio Tinto
Productivity doesn’t necessarily mean more tons, but it may mean that you get those tons with lower inputs, less fuel, less labor, less time, fewer parts.

CONCLUSIONThose who make a long-term commitment to digital transformation will
reap the benefits of a Connected Mine – and future innovations. An industry insider who has served as chief information officer (CIO) for two global
companies summarized the opportunities succinctly:
I strongly believe that a company that doesn’t seriously go into digital transformation today will not be in business 10 years from now … companies
who push digital transformation further, maintain their investments over five, six years … will end up eventually having competitive advantage.
