“ We want to utilise this technology to become even more efficient ”

CHRISTIAN DREWES TECHNICAL DIRECTOR ,
QUARRY MINING
Adapting Quarry Mining to be fit for the future In order to respond to these changes , Quarry Mining is keen to adapt and grow to meet the demands of the market , and as Kerler previously explained , become the best in the market .
Drewes outlined Quarry Mining ’ s path to becoming the best in its field : “ To do so , we want to have a product that is of very high quality . We also know the importance of technology to get there . We want to utilise this technology to become even more efficient .”
Adding to this , Drewes said : “ Everything is becoming digital . If you look at the mining industry , very few mines and quarries have the old setup without some technology . If you don ’ t continuously replace and upgrade plants without the state-of-the-art technology , you will miss out on opportunities .
“ We have a lot of plants where we want to upgrade the technology , so they are fit for purpose . We want to upgrade the electrical systems and make the data from the plants available on the cloud . This will allow the clients to gain more information from the plants and digitalisation will help us make older plants more efficient in the future ,” he concluded . miningglobal . com 63
