Historically , mining remains one of the last industries to be disrupted by technology ,” observes Tim Kahl , General Manager of Operations at Goldcorp . “ It ’ s ironic , because mining provides the raw materials for modern economies to work , but we ’ ve been slow to apply some of the technologies we ’ ve had a hand in creating .

“ Over the past few years , there ’ s been a fundamental shift . At Goldcorp , we want to promote disruption in the mining sector and we ’ re focusing on digitisation . We ’ re trying to change the image of mining and to make use of what the rest of the industrial world is doing digitally . I think in this way , Goldcorp is really leading the pack .”
