MoveOn
Increasing demands on the extraction of raw materials as well as the downstream steps require continuous and early information about the extracted material (e.g. material type or rock properties). This information can be made available using suitable sensor technologies. The sensor technologies have to be incorporated in heavy machinery and the sensor data has to be analyzed in order to obtain the required information. We at AMT (Advanced Mining Technologies) are committed to providing technologies and system solutions for harsh environments like in mining and heavy machinery construction. Resource efficiency, safety and social responsibility are our vision and mission. Our diverse team strives to always provide excellent and at the same time viable solutions. We provide a creative workplace to research innovative ideas and deliver outstanding results.
