The mining industry is witnessing a technological boom . The once archaic sector is rapidly upgrading , implementing bigger , faster and smarter equipment .
In the August edition of Mining Global , we conducted an in-depth study on the future of heavy-duty drills and the technology that will revolutionize mine-site operations in coming years .
Also this month : we examine how lean manufacturing is influencing Barrick Gold ; helpful hints and tips for financing mining equipment ; and the top 10 mega earthmovers in the world .
Lastly , we discuss everything miners need form supply chain software - from inventory management to maintenance and repair operations management to work stoppage monitoring , we break down the best software solutions for the mining industry .
Enjoy the issue !
