Mines and quarries are increasingly running data-driven operations, leveraging data analytics and insights from various sources to optimise processes, predict equipment failures and improve overall efficiency and safety. In response to this trend, Loadtech has launched its Loadtech ViewIT, an Artificial Intelligence (AI)-powered remote monitoring system that brings together data ingestion, storage, visualisation, analysis and trend prediction in one unified interface.

To meet the need for compact crushing gear in selected applications, Pilot Crushtec International is launching the DynamiTrac J100S, a self-sustaining, dual power, compact mobile jaw crusher with a hanging screen. With a throughput range between 40 and 100 tonnes per hour (tph), the J100S is particularly suited for construction, recycling and small-scale mining operations. By Munesu Shoko.
With the quarrying sector, and the mining environment at large, constantly evolving, it is important for quarry operators to be adaptable – be open to new ideas and be willing to adjust strategies as needed. In line with this approach, this year’s IQSA Conference, taking place in Durban on April 3-4, will be held under the theme, “Navigating a Changing Landscape’. Chairman Jeremy Hunter-Smith unpacks some of the changes in the industry and how operators can adapt. By Munesu Shoko.
