Mobile usage is transforming the mining industry

The Mineware  Syncromine mobile platform enables the effective management and scheduling of work orders and tasks onto a mobile platform for ease of use and better management oversight within any mining operation.

The digital revolution in modern mining

Mobile apps are transforming the mining industry along with the rest of modern life, playing their part to improve safety, productivity, and planning.

Mobile technology can be useful in several areas of mine operations and is already transforming activities from planning to the prevention of fatalities and injuries. Mineware’s safety module, part of the Syncromine software suite, is a case in point.

There are now several apps designed specifically for the unique needs of the mining industry, with Mineware a leader in this field. These apps digitize numerous mining processes and are used for collecting and managing critical information around issues like mine safety management or asset/vehicle tracking. Mining apps can save users hundreds of work hours as they come with customizable templates, forms, and checklists for a variety of mining and processing operations. In addition, they are easy to share and are compatible with most modern smartphones and other portable devices, allowing digital data to be used effectively.

The main advantage of using mobile devices offline is mobility and the ability to maintain connectivity even in remote underground areas. This means that accidents or work orders can be logged immediately and on-site, speeding up the process as a whole.

Taking mobile to the rockface

There are several mobile applications available in the mining industry as a whole, but none are fully integrated into one comprehensive unit, like that of the Syncromine System.

The Syncromine mobile platform enables the effective management and scheduling of work orders and tasks onto a mobile platform throughout the integrated Syncromine Platform.

The system enables the users to manage daily risk through risk assessment checklist enabling real-time updates on outcomes and inviting immediate action on any non-compliances raised, thereby addressing safety pain points. Non-compliances and escalations are then managed through the Integrated Syncromine API Communication and Workflow Layer, which is aligned to management reporting, for effective and immediate action and evaluation. 

The mobile platform also enables the real-time management of standalone modules such as the Electronic Shift boss logbook within the system itself, which ultimately improves operational performance.

In short, Mineware’s mobile offerings allow real-time data to be logged on-site, allowing greater control and ease of use for workers and managers alike. For more information about this mobile application and other Mineware operational software solutions for mines, please visit their website.
