Bis

Bis and Israel Aerospace Industries launched a joint venture described as 'industry-first' for mining automation.

Bis and IAI announced a 50-50 joint venture called Auto-mate to provide scalable and adaptable mining automation technology, connecting any asset to fleet management systems regardless of brand or age.

Roy Hill awarded a major contract to Bis for off-road bulk load and haul and site services at its iron ore mine in Western Australia. Bis will mobilise to the Pilbara site shortly, with the contract starting in September 2020.

Bis has delivered new 350 t Dual Powered Road Trains to Minara Resources' Murrin Murrin nickel mine in Western Australia as part of a major upgrade to its off-road haulage fleet. The contract extension for haulage and site services was signed last year.
