Mining organizations are entering a new era which is shaped by technology, global complexity and heightened expectations from regulators, investors and communities. Technologies for mining companies, such as Internet of Things (IoT), artificial intelligence (AI), augmented reality (AR) and operational intelligence (OI) are helping organizations gain a competitive edge through smarter, faster and more informed decision-making.
These technologies reach their full potential when connected to a unified operational backbone through modern enterprise resource planning (ERP) and enterprise asset management (EAM) platforms. This whitepaper provides a look at how mining companies can harness this new wave of innovation to overcome challenges and build operational resilience. IFS delivers industry‑leading ERP, EAM, IoT, AI and operational intelligence solutions built for asset‑intensive industries like mining, helping them become more agile, predictable and competitive.
