MINExpo International, the world's foremost mining equipment exhibition, takes place September 24-26, 2024 in Las Vegas, Nevada, United States. Hosted by the National Mining Associciation, the event gives you a chance to connect with the full range of innovations that are transforming the way your work gets done. With a focus on all things mining (and only mining), this event offers a chance to glimpse the future of your industry and find exactly what your operation needs now. Register today if you have not already.
If you've never attended MINExpo, you'll find it's easy to get distracted as you marvel at the sites and sounds over the course of three full days. There is a lot to see. In order to make the most of your time at this year's event, we invite you to schedule a visit with ABB at booth #8601 in the Central Hall. Here's why...
Top 10 Reasons to Visit ABB at MINExpo
1. Connect with some of the world’s greatest minds inspiring today’s great mines.
If you've been around the mining industry for even the slightest amount of time, you've probably learned or already heard that the team at ABB know and understand mining processes, not just our automation, electrification and digitalization product details. They collaborate with your team to make the right things happen. Working together... Great Minds, Great Mines. Many of our finest are travelling from around the globe to connect with you at MINExpo.
2. Explore ABB’s comprehensive electrical and mechanical mine hoist solutions
Dating back more than 130 years, ABB's roots are in mine hoist solutions. Today, our team has installed and services electrical and mechanical systems, including friction and drum, at more than 1,000 underground mines around the world. If you're looking to go deep on hoisting solutions, we'll have the right people on hand to answer your questions.
3. You can Do More with Digital and we’ll show you how.
Doing more with digital in mining means driving greater efficiencies, extending machine life, increasing savings and improving sustainability. It means using IoT and AI tools to optimize your energy management, and leveraging automation to remove workers from dangerous environments. It means being prepared for cyber security threats you don't even know about yet. Partner with ABB and you'll see that there are more opportunities in your mine than just the ore you pull out of it.
4. Robotics working in mining? You bet.
Late last year, ABB, Boliden and LKAB complete successful testing of industry-first automated robot charger for increased safety in underground mines. Obviously, personnel safety was a driving motivation. As robots are ideal for use in regard to protecting personnel, some other applications have been explored since then. Come by the ABB booth to learn more.
5. See exciting new all electric mine developments for mine and fleet electrification with ABB eMine™.
ABB is at the forefront of electrification in the mining industry with its portfolio of ABB eMine™ solutions. Just recently Boliden, Epiroc and ABB announced a major technology milestone by successfully deploying the world's first-fully electric trolley truck system. We have more in store to share at MINExpo this year, so be sure to come learn what's new with ABB eMine.
6. Discover how you can better manage and optimize site energy usage with integrated automation, electrification, and digitalization.
As mining companies aspire to achieve Net Zero targets, the need to bridge "islands of automation" grows more critical, particularly in the realm of understanding site energy flows and consumption. ABB is uniquely positioned to equip your operations with integrated process and power control systems to ensure more efficient operation of your mine. Talk to one of our energy experts at our booth.
7. Learn how to best improve your grinding circuit for better safety, efficiency, throughput, recovery, and grade.
Your grinding mills are the cornerstone of your comminution circuit. And when it comes to maximum availability and productivity, ABB's portfolio of gearless mill drive (GMD) systems are the most powerful in the market for semiautogenous (SAG), ball and autogenous (AG) mills. Don't miss this opportunity to connect with some of the brightest minds in grinding solutions.
8. Visualize the possibilities of autonomous and remote operations with our integrated operator workstations.
As mining companies discover ore bodies further and deeper from the world's developed areas, the supporting operational workforce challenge grows. Because of this, there is much interest among our customers for remote and even autonomous operations. Visit with our experts at the show to see real demonstrations of these technologies.
9. Engage in AR & VR experiences and discuss how these technologies can advance your workforce proficiency and training.
Immerse yourself in some really dynamic and fun uses of augmented and virtual reality at our booth. Don't be fooled... these technologies aren't just for playing video games. Companies today are using them extensively for training their staff and supporting them with remote expertise with ABB ABB Ability™ Connected Worker.
10. Our customers aren’t just talking about Net Zero targets… they’re making Real Progress and you can too.
You're going to see and hear Net Zero, decarbonization, energy efficiency and sustainability at this show, and what's to come.
Our team of experts at the ABB booth are prepared to tell you simply what has been done. ABB can share with you actual results that we've achieved working with partners and mining companies to make Real Progress toward sustainable mining operations.
We look forward to seeing you there.
