INSIGHT
Collect data and turn it into valuable decision-making information. This benchmarking step will yield the information to select the right products to employ.
CONTROL
By continuous and close monitoring of the main operating parameters we recognize and flag deviations and opportunities to gain the most significant impact on the process performance.
OPTIMIZE
With each system running effectively, combine them into your people or processes to enable more utilization and consistency by unlocking the performance potential.

The Hollinger mine in Canada is where it all happens. This is an open pit gold mine located in downtown Timmins, a city with a population of 45 000 in the province of Ontario. This site is part of Newmont Goldcorp Porcupine’s operations in the area. Once the remaining gold has been recovered, this mine will be transformed into a public park. But for now, it is a gold mine in full operation and center stage for the latest innovation in surface drilling automation.
