Brazil’s Vale sees $70m in savings from new systems by 2020

Brazilian miner Vale aims to save $70-million by 2020 through a combined management system for iron-ore and manganese production, replacing 17 prior systems, according to an emailed statement on Friday.

Vale said the change would reduce downtime compared to current systems, cut spending on information technology and provide a standardised database of various indicators.
