Mining Apps: The Best Software

How Mobile Apps Benefit Mining Companies

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. 

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.
