Most of us will find it difficult to imagine living without mobile phones. They have always been useful in helping us to stay in touch with people and with development of smartphones and apps, they now offer a great way to access information straight to our phones. Mobile phone apps can help the mining industry too and we have compiled four mobile apps that could make your life easier as a mining professional.
FIFO RnRFor all you FIFO workers,
FIFO RnR https://itunes.apple.com/au/app/fifo-rnr/id550123821?mt=8 is a fantastic app to help you manage the social challenges associated with working a roster. You enter your roster which is then stored on a cloud and then friends who have you as a contact will be able to view it.
ObservationsThis helpful
app http://www.synaptor.com.au/features allows you to make observations in the field, including photos and locations of hazard. You are also able to see a list of observations made by your colleagues and any observations you make automatically sync to your online database when in network range.
Pocket Blast GuideThis app from Orica provides access to blast calculations, conversions, product information and tools for managing blasting operations on mobile devices.
Glossary of Mining & Geological TermsThis app is an essential tool for geologists, as well as mining and geology students. The Glossary of Mining & Geological Terms contains over 1,300 mining-related terms, making it useful for anyone who is interested in geology and would like to find out more.
It is exciting to imagine where mobile technology could take the resources industry in the future. If you are on the move, don’t forget that you can search for mining, oil and gas jobs using our
