Growing Customer Adoption
In just the last six months, there has been a 300% growth in the number of customers piloting and deploying Falkonry LRS in Japan.
“The Falkonry LRS system is able to leverage existing time series data from our Sierra Gorda mining operations and in less than a few weeks we are generating valuable insights that can improve our operations,” said Takashi Onda, General Manager of the Sierra Gorda Project department at Sumitomo Corporation. “The intuitive end-user interface required little training and could be easily be used by our own operations team.”
Successful Partnership with SCSK Corporation
