Successful experience and operation of the system made it possible to start replicating it at other mining and processing divisions of ALROSA. The implementation was recently completed, and the system is now in operation at the Nyurba Mining and Processing Division. Thanks to the specialists and managers who adapted the system for the company's operation and implemented it, we presented our project with dignity at the Wonderware International Forum and received a corresponding rating from the organizers," commented Stanislav Gushchin, Head of Production Dispatch Center at ALROSA.
