DUBLIN–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Research and Markets has announced the addition of the “Technology Investment Priorities in Mining in Asia-Pacific 2016” report to their offering.

Overall trends in the data revealed:

– Over 60% of mines have already invested in tire monitoring, fleet management, shift optimization, energy management, predictive maintenance, and environmental monitoring technologies.

– The greatest increases in penetration over the last two years have been in real-time video training and environmental monitoring technologies.

– UAVs/drones currently have the lowest penetration of the technologies examined with only 17% of mines having invested to date; however, a significant increase is expected over the next two years.

– The commodity sector is expected to have the greatest increase in technology penetration over the next 2 years in the precious metals sector whilst India offers the best opportunities for vendors as does the largest company segment with revenues greater than US$10 billion.

– Surpac is by far the most used software nominated by 29% of the mines. This was followed by Minex with 15% and MineScape with 10%.

This report provides a detailed analysis of investment intentions across different areas of technology in the Asia-Pacific industry.
