We are proud to announce that IMA Engineering is a partner in the new EU-Project “illuMINEation”. Ready to kick-start in September, the project’s aim is to embed digital thinking into the heart of the mining industry, improving the digital skills of the personnel in the mining business and by enhancing cooperation.

Our CEO, Mr. Jukka Raatikainen was recently interviewed by Mining Finland on how IMA Engineering approached the recent COVID-19 epidemic.

The Covid-19 epidemic has pushed mining technology companies to develop new ways of delivering and maintaining their products.

Mining companies are faced now with the challenges to meet their targets for this and coming years. IMA Engineering suggests that mines increase the mill head grade by processing higher grade ore. However, this can lead to a challenge, without the low grade ore going to waste rock area.

During the COVID19 crises traveling to mining sites is difficult. This might be a challenge for the foreseeable future. Even before the current crises, IMA embarked on a digital transformation journey to be able to support its customers remotely and to reduce its carbon footprint due to traveling related emissions.
