Updating a product that has remained unchanged since 2005 is a significant achievement that required deep technical knowledge and leadership skills. My efforts have directly impacted the field of Mining Tech, the result has increased the efficiency and modernity of technological solutions in this industry.
The updated hardware complex made it possible to significantly reduce the cost of the product during implementation and scaling, thanks to the use of available modern components.
