Automation, on-line, mobile and laboratory solutions for mining research, exploration, processing and manufacturing

Malvern Panalytical is proud to organize a tailored programme on the latest in automation, on-line, mobile and laboratory analytical solutions. This programme serves to gather all professionals from the mining, metals and minerals field. Malvern Panalytical’s application specialists will be flying in from our supply center in the Netherlands as well as from the region to present at this workshop. Alongside esteemed guest speakers from the research industry, they will share how to achieve better ROI, quality control and efficiency by improving the way they analyse samples.

During this workshop, you will learn more about:
1. The holistic range (including latest advancements in the market) of analytical solutions that you can engage at each stage of the mining process: from exploration, grade control, processing, manufacturing, research, supply and more
2. Learn how to achieve good data and how to interpret the data
3. Get tips on applying the data to solve your problems and improve your supply chain
4. Stay up to date with what other companies in Europe and the Americas are engaging to improve their efficiency and ROI
