FORTAI developing a revolutionary system to optimize mining supply chain

(TORONTO/SUDBURY) — A new technology company with the vision and experience to transform how mines and heavy industry design, build, and manage their operations has arrived.

FORTAI is an advanced technology and product manufacturing company focused on delivering innovative value chain management and savings to the mining industry while providing profitable growth to investors and shareholders.

FORTAI's ADMMIT® technology is an autonomous mobile inventory management system built for dynamic environments such as mines. It tracks, delivers and manages material movement in real-time, from purchase to consumption and links to planning and inventory controls. The company is also developing a customizable and mine-ready container called the SmartCube®, that works with the ADMMIT® platform.

"Our vision is to deliver optimal value at every link of the mining production chain," explained FORTAI president Trang Tran-Valade, P.Eng., PMP. "The industry is looking for transformative ways to meet or exceed production targets. We are building a material tracking and inventory system purpose-built for mining - one that's as robust as those used by world-class logistics and retail companies."

Tran-Valade will be at the Prospectors & Developers Association of Canada (PDAC) convention in Toronto, with ADMMIT® dealer, SHYFTinc, to discuss this transformative technology and options for clients.

"We already have premiere technology and global top-ten mining companies working with us on development and field testing, and we invite others to discover how it can optimize their operation," said Tran-Valade.

An experienced business leader and engineer, Tran-Valade founded SHYFTinc in 2018 and grew the team to 20 employees before establishing FORTAI. Prior to that, she worked at BESTECH and progressed in a variety of engineering, research and development, and administrative leadership roles. Visit fortai.ca to learn more.
