Mining companies in Africa have been encouraged to adopt modern database management systems to enhance operations. Pedro Guerreiro, Head of Sales, Energy and Natural Resources at SAP Africa, the multinational software corporation, said adopting such technologies would increase their income-generating capacities. "Mining has a lot of useful chaos - the means to shape that resides in big data and the Internet of Things," said Guerreiro. "The bedrock of this approach is how mining firms are able to establish real-time and day-to-day insights to their operations, discover efficiencies through automation, respond proactively to challenges on the ground, and manage value chains in new ways. Above all, it opens the door towards building new business methodologies for the mining operations of tomorrow." |
