Modern Quarrying Q3 2024

ON THE COVER COVER STORY

Overall, the mining and quarrying sector in South Africa is evolving with a focus on sustainability, innovation, and resilience to navigate the changing market dynamics and achieve long-term growth. T echnological advancements and digital transformation are reshaping the mining and quarry sectors. Automation, artificial intelligence and data analytics are being adopted to improve efficiency, safety, and productivity in mining and quarrying operations. When comparing durability versus accuracy in would ensure longevity and reliability in such conditions. Precision in weighing materials is crucial for quarry operations to optimise productivity and ensure accurate measurements for invoicing and inventory management. A high-accuracy smart scale system would provide precise weight readings con sistently, allowing for efficient loading and tracking of materials. Features like load cell technology and advanced calibration capabilities contribute to accu rate measurements. AT THE FOREFRONT OF TECHNOLOGICAL ADVANCEMENTS IN WEIGHING SYSTEMS

using smart scales on quarry equipment, it’s essen tial to find a balance that meets the specific needs of the operation Quarry equipment operates in harsh environ ments with heavy loads and constant movement. A durable smart scale system would be able to withstand vibrations, extreme temperatures, and exposure to dust and debris without compromising functionality. For example, a rugged smart scale with reinforced casing and robust components

Ultimately, it’s important to select a smart scale system that offers a good balance of durability and accuracy to ensure reliable performance in quarry operations. Investing in a system that can with stand the rigors of the environment while delivering precise weighing results will contribute to improved efficiency and profitability in the long run.
