IISL’s industry-leading solutions are your metals and mining business’ best bet to achieve growth, efficiency, and sustainability.

Driven primarily by large-scale industrialization, urbanization of emerging economies, and advances in consumer technology, we are witnessing the biggest boom in the global mining and energy industry in the last 50 years. This demand for metals and other mineral resources is predicted to continue in the coming decades as more and more nations join the growth story.

However, to meet the expected demand, the industry faces several supply-side challenges including:

Decreasing grades of known resources Increased remoteness of deposits and the associated safety and cost issues Increased depths of deposits leading to escalated complexity of “Earth Sciences”; along with an urgent industry need for exploration success Increasing nationalization of resources, particularly in emerging countries and regions Evolving regulations and regimes including fiscal, environmental and business conduct in general Rising input costs Higher capital costs needed to bring supply to market Continued disruptions to production from climatic conditions, labor disputes, and political unrest

While the industry has always been rather volatile, many of the issues are new to the natural resources sector; consequently, the industry is now faced with a transformative set of challenges for the future.

In the wake of these changes are several significant shifts prevalent in the industry:

Increased demand for ‘end-to-end’ visibility and control of mine operations and planning, including the life of mine planning, MES, and management of equipment and other critical resources An increasing necessity to embrace and accelerate automated and robotic mining methods An ongoing need to improve workforce management, safety, health, and social responsibility
