In 2017, a year after the safest year ever, coal industry deaths surged and nearly doubled, to 15. Mobile mining apps must collect critical information on worker safety, technology and vehicle tracking, and brass-in/brass-out in a timely manner deep in the earth, where cell service and WIFI are not available. Digitizing business processes and paper forms with mobile apps that work offline enables mining companies to:
The best mining apps work offline, are optimized for one-handed data entry (i.e., speech-to-text), leverage corporate processing power, and tie into systems of record to grab critical information for employees and share information with the rest of the organization more quickly.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that just in 2017, there were more than 5,127 deaths on the job. Industrial safety apps will change the game.
With mobile apps, not only will data collection and sharing improve, but utilizing data to make better and faster business decisions will dramatically impact safety.
