A Turning Point in Cooperation Between IMPASCO and Isfahan University of Technology on the Path Toward Digital Mining
The joint meeting between IMPASCO and Isfahan University of Technology, attended by Touraj Zareh and a group of researchers, marked a turning point in the development of smart technologies, rapid data acquisition, and the movement of Iran’s mining industry toward a knowledge-based economy.
According to Maadan News, the joint meeting between IMPASCO and Isfahan University of Technology, attended by Touraj Zareh and a group of researchers, marked a turning point in the development of smart technologies, rapid data acquisition, and the movement of Iran’s mining industry toward a knowledge-based economy.
The joint meeting between IMPASCO and Isfahan University of Technology was held with the presence of Touraj Zareh, CEO of IMPASCO, and a number of researchers from the university; a meeting that experts have evaluated as a turning point in the path toward digitalization and smartization of the country’s mining operations.
A Strategic Step Toward Digital Mining
The main focus of this meeting was the review of modern solutions for rapid data acquisition, intelligent analysis, and improvement of operational performance; an issue that could transform the process of exploiting the country’s mines in the coming years.
At this meeting, Alireza Baghbanan, professor of mining and researcher in the field of digital mining, presented a report on actions taken in the field of new technologies and emphasized the necessity of using smart tools to increase productivity and reduce costs.
The Necessity of Introducing New Technologies into Exploration
Touraj Zareh, CEO of IMPASCO, emphasized the importance of interaction between industry and academia and stated: “In the field of exploration, new technologies must be introduced so that, in addition to improving the productivity of companies, society can also benefit from its economic advantages.”
He added: “Planning for smartization should move in a direction that creates economic attractiveness for companies and increases the speed of operations.”
Referring to the importance of moving toward a knowledge-based economy, Zareh said: “IMPASCO is seeking to move beyond the traditional model of mining exploitation and aims to enter an arena where knowledge and technology are the main axes of decision-making and operations.”
He emphasized: “Reactive management is not sufficient under today’s conditions; we must chart the path of sustainable development with a forward-looking perspective and intelligent planning.”
Isfahan University of Technology; The Link Between Knowledge and Industry
At this meeting, cooperation with Isfahan University of Technology and other universities was introduced as an important platform for:
-Knowledge transfer
-Training of specialized human resources
-Development of indigenous technologies
The use of digital tools not only increases the speed of operations but can also significantly reduce operational costs and create greater economic attractiveness for investors.
A Broad Network of Cooperation for Digital Mining
Abbas Jafari, Director of Research at IMPASCO, also stated during the meeting: “IMPASCO cooperates with several universities in the field of smartization of exploration and mining.”
This approach indicates the company’s serious determination to create a broad network of knowledge and technology in the field of digital mining.
Overall, the set of activities and collaborations of IMPASCO can turn this company into one of the pioneers of digital mining in Iran and serve as a model for other mining companies in the country.
