The Technologies Changing Industry Forever — Live at Electra Mining Africa I TSF water management

The Technologies Changing Industry Forever — Live at Electra Mining Africa

As industrial technologies continue to evolve at pace, mining, manufacturing and industrial businesses are under increasing pressure to improve productivity, strengthen safety, reduce operating costs and meet growing sustainability expectations. At the same time, rapid advances in digital technologies are transforming how organisations design, manage and optimise their operations. The focus has shifted from exploring technological possibilities to implementing practical solutions that deliver measurable business value.

From ‘black box’ to ‘blue box’ in TSF water management

In many mine-wide water balances, the tailings storage facility (TSF) still appears as a single line item – a convenient ‘black box’ where water goes in, something comes out, and the rest is blurred, assumed or simply left unknown.

WEG Technologies Powering African Mining – Electra Mining 2026

Mines thrive on reliability, scale, and efficiency, and expect infrastructure investments that will support those goals effectively with modern features and technical superiority. The sector yielded record profits last year, a windfall to support long-term strategies around growing operational complexity and higher costs. Thus, mining houses are keen to see what the latest infrastructure products, services, and technologies can provide across their portfolios.

Can you Story-tell in 6 Seconds?

Hi Uguba,

Ever heard of bumper ads?

You technically can't skip these ads.

You wouldn't want to though.

In 2016, at Sundance, YouTube unveiled a new ad format to brands: the unskippable, six-second "bumper" ad.

To prove it was possible to cram a compelling story into such a short window, they recruited a handful of creative agencies to test drive the format, and the results were pretty convincing.

Bumper ads are short - just six seconds - and unskippable. But when done right, they punch far above their weight. Google says 90% of bumper campaigns boost ad recall by 30%.

The trick? Don’t shrink a 30-second spot. Build fresh, thumb-stopping creative from scratch.

Need inspiration? We’ve curated 10 brilliant examples to get your ideas flowing:
