Virtualscape driving digital transformation and measurable progress in mining
Virtualscape CEO Ravi Naidoo talks to Engineering News & Mining Weekly at Investing in African Mining Indaba in Cape Town.
As digitalisation accelerates across the mining sector, the ability to turn data into meaningful operational insight is becoming a critical differentiator. This theme took centre stage when Mining Weekly interviewed industrial automation solutions provider Virtualscape CEO Ravi Naidoo at the Investing in African Mining Indaba in Cape Town on Monday, February 9.
In the video interview, Naidoo discussed how Virtualscape’s automation and data-driven solutions are helping African mining operations bridge the digital divide, delivering measurable improvements in efficiency, safety and overall performance. He will explain the importance of contextualising data and how Virtualscape integrates operational, process and personnel data to provide actionable insights for on-site decision-makers.
A key focus of the discussion included Sens Mining, Virtualscape’s flagship platform, which enhances real-time visibility and optimises asset use across the mining value chain. Naidoo outlined how the system enables better coordination, improved productivity and informed decision-making in complex mining environments.
The interview will also explore how Virtualscape’s MESH architecture and platform-agnostic design allow its solutions to be deployed across openpit and underground operations, ensuring flexibility, scalability and future-readiness. Concluding the discussion, Naidoo elaborated on Virtualscape’s guiding philosophy of “Progress Beyond Measure”, explaining what it means in practical terms for mining companies pursuing digital transformation, smarter operations and more sustainable outcomes.
