In the business of mining, the reverse is true of the old saying, “What you don’t know, can’t hurt you.”
Since acquiring NCS Technology’s Centric 1 mine production management information system in March 2005, management at the Mount Keith nickel mine, a BHP Billiton operation in Western Australia, aren’t worrying as much about what they don’t know.
NCS Technology, a management solutions software company based in Sudbury, is touting its Centric1 mine production management system as a one-of-a-kind centralized repository for crucial mining data.
With Centric 1, mission critical data is housed in one mine production management system that allows users to recognize shortfalls in production within seconds.
The company’s success in rolling out the product at the Mount Keith nickel mine has positioned NCS for future growth.
