Digging Deeper: Increasing mining equipment's efficiency
Let's define efficiency as doing more with less. In other words, helping miners deliver the same amount of output with less input. In a mine site, increased efficiency could mean haul trucks deliver more with less fuel and energy. It could also mean mine operators able to oversee more equipment at once. Equipment a…
