Mining Transportation & Logistics | Mining Supply Chain Management

Mining companies manage complex supply chains and use geospatial technology to meet logistic needs. Staff use drones to accurately manage inventory volumes. They also optimize routes for fleets of delivery vehicles to minimize drive and idle times while maximizing profit. With GIS, managers can remotely monitor real-time operations to identify opportunities for improved efficiency. Promoting logistical efficiency also increases safety and sustainability throughout the global supply chain.
