    • The opportunities and challenges of the energy transition will mean one of the greatest periods of change the mining industry has ever experienced. It also means that the energy use implications of operations and production strategies will be a far more critical element in decision making.  How can mining companies scale their transformations, drive productivity and achieve their sustainable targets simultaneously?
    • The focus of the next wave of transformation will be about scaling the investments that have been made and integrating power and process decisions holistically to enable improved decision making as companies move towards their sustainable futures.
    • Schneider Electric and AVEVA would like to share our vision to support the industry on its transformation in this next phase.
