Director, Work Vue
Speakers:
Productivity in Load & Haul isn’t just about having the right technology—it’s about capability, alignment, and change. This session uncovers the real challenges we’re seeing across mining: a workforce with less practical mining knowledge, more technologies than ever before, and increasing pressure to deliver value quickly. We’ll break down why many sites struggle to maintain or benefit from their systems and share Haultrax’s approach to bridging these gaps. Through case studies in AHS, FMS, and CAS, we’ll show how practical, people-first implementation can unlock meaningful improvement in haulage performance.
