Summary
In my 8 years of Experience working in the BHP Integrated Remote Operations Centre I was exposed to Modular, Minestar and Leica Fleet Management systems along with many different steps in the Pipeline of Iron Ore mining. I had the privilege of collaborating with and learning from a team of experienced men and women from many different backgrounds. My introduction to Autonomous Mining operations occurred when I joined Whitehaven Coal where I had the pleasure of joining a strong team developing the Hitachi/ Wenco Autonomous Project.
