MINING PRODUCTIVITY TECHNOLOGY
ARE YOU REACHING YOUR POTENTIAL?
GET MORE OUT OF EVERY MACHINE YOU OPERATE.
One way to cut unit costs? Boost production. We offer the most productive new mining machines in the industry, but that’s not all. We also have the resources, technologies and training to help you do more with the fleet you already own—or even with fewer pieces of equipment. We’ll work with you to increase mining production where it makes sense, all while helping you run a leaner, safer, more efficient operation. Productivity matters, and we’re there to make sure you get the most out of every machine you operate.

Robotic Process Automation

Unlock the next wave of business productivity and sophistication in the fastest way possible with the most advanced Enterprise RPA Platform. Designed, tested and proven to perform elegantly in the toughest enterprise challenges.

UI Path

UI Path started the  journey in 2005 on a mission to create technology that would eventually enable new ways of working through what was then the emerging field of Robotic Process Automation (RPA). Today, RPA technology has matured into the legitimate and established way to run business processes. Behind our revolutionary approach at the time was our product’s unique computer vision technique. Think of the human visual system, which can detect and interpret information from visible light to build a representation of the surrounding environment.  We came up with a solution to capture and recreate automatically some of the actions on the screen that are normally driven by human perception. This is how we brought much-needed disruption to the market, enabling highly reliable automation in difficult scenarios like Citrix. It took us almost a decade to develop this technology. We put forth our greatest engineering efforts to accomplish what has now become the most widely adopted RPA Platform, capable of executing reliably to deliver millions of hours of productivity to enterprises.

Today, UiPath is a new standard in Enterprise RPA, leading with a cutting-edge Platform whose performance has been validated through phenomenal customer growth – last year we grew our enterprise customer base from less than 100 to more than 700 – through what is now the largest community of skilled RPA users, and through official recognition from global analyst firms.

The AI world is maturing. We will accelerate our product roadmap – the computer vision we have built into the product is now powered by machine learning – and extend our collaboration with solutions from the AI space that will tie in perfectly with RPA’s agnosticism to create powerful new use cases for our customers’ digital businesses.

We will also invest heavily in the expansion of UiPath’s global operations, with a focus on robust product support, customer success teams and sales efforts across all time zones and geographies, to benefit our customers as well as our partners–counting more than 200 today and including strong alliances such as Cognizant, Deloitte, KPMG, PWC, and TCS.

Over the past few decades, a range of new technologies have been incorporated to increase the productivity of corn crop in Brazil. Initially, genetic enhancement was achieved through the production of hybrid seed  more productive than freely pollinated cultivars. Adjustments to cultivation practices, such as the reduction in row spacing, balanced fertilisation and direct planting, have contributed to a progressive increase in productivity. The marketing of transgenic seed, providing resistance to insect pests and herbicides, contributed further to productivity by reducing losses to pests (Spodoptera frugiperda) and competition with weeds. All these technological advances have contributed to ever increasing gains in the productivity of Brazilian corn crops.
