We sat down with Ralph Smith, the Global Services Director of Dassault Systèmes, a company at the forefront of driving human progress through collaborative virtual environments. With over 20,000 employees worldwide, Dassault Systèmes provides businesses and individuals with the tools to imagine sustainable innovations through ‘virtual twin experiences’ of the real world.

In this episode, we dive into the future of resource estimation and how to improve the likelihood of good-quality estimates. Ralph will share the challenges of managing big data for resource estimation and how to use it to make informed decisions. Additionally, we’ll explore the benefits of strategic environment mine planning and the importance of including environmental costs in strategic mine planning.He will also discuss the technology and services that Dassault Systèmes offers and how their cloud-based solutions can help improve collaboration and efficiency.

We’ll also be diving into two case studies where Dassault Systèmes was able to streamline and improve project efficiency by minimizing the number of people working on the project and leveraging cloud-based solutions. Finally, we’ll explore the industry outlook, including critical minerals, changing energy sources, and the rise of influencers on ESG.

Join us for an insightful conversation with Ralph Smith, as we discuss the latest developments in the mining industry and how Dassault Systèmes is driving innovation and progress.
