S2E20 Jason van der Watt at AVA Solutions: Advanced Fleet Intelligence for every vehicle and operation

Mining companies have never had more operational data — yet many mines still struggle with fragmented systems, reactive decision-making, and limited real-time visibility.In this episode of MineWarp, I speak with Jason van der Watt, CEO and Co-Founder of AVA Solutions about the evolution of Fleet Management Systems (FMS), operational intelligence, and what modern mining operations actually need from digital technology.We explore:Why many FMS deployments fail to deliver operational valueThe difference between enterprise-scale and mid-tier / contract mining requirementsHow smaller mines can now access advanced operational intelligenceThe shift from siloed data toward integrated operational visibilityWhy operational adoption matters more than software featuresThe future of real-time mine optimisationThis conversation goes beyond software and dashboards — into the operational realities of modern mining and what it truly means to become data-driven.
