Mobile Mining Apps: The Best Software

In 2017, a year after the safest year ever, coal industry deaths surged and nearly doubled, to 15. Mobile mining apps must collect critical information on worker safety, technology and vehicle tracking, and brass-in/brass-out in a timely manner deep in the earth, where cell service and WIFI are not available. Digitizing business processes and paper forms with mobile apps that work offline enables mining companies to:

  • Increase worker efficiency by reducing the hours spent on each daily activity.
  • Capture the knowledge of more experienced workers in intelligent apps that can guide less experienced workers.
  • Lower risk by increasing safety, decreasing data-entry mistakes and increasing timely access to critical data.

The best mining apps work offline, are optimized for one-handed data entry (i.e., speech-to-text), leverage corporate processing power, and tie into systems of record to grab critical information for employees and share information with the rest of the organization more quickly. 

The Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that just in 2017, there were more than 5,127 deaths on the job. Industrial safety apps will change the game.

With mobile apps, not only will data collection and sharing improve, but utilizing data to make better and faster business decisions will dramatically impact safety.

"We selected Alpha because of the enterprise scale of the platform and the overall ease of use. We were surprised how easy it was to develop our first app. We are now making the platform available to other lines of business for them to develop their own apps.”

"Alpha has been an ideal enterprise development platform for us, and has become our system of record for all development work, including mobile apps."

"Without Alpha, I would have had to outsource development to an outside software company because we needed a sophisticated system with a strong back-end, and we couldn't have built that ourselves. We've saved at least 50% in costs and time."
