S2E20 Jason van der Watt @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 value The difference between enterprise-scale and mid-tier / contract mining requirements How smaller mines can now access advanced operational intelligence The shift from siloed data toward integrated operational visibility Why operational adoption matters more than software features The future of real-time mine optimisation This conversation goes beyond software and dashboards — into the operational realities of modern mining and what it truly means to become data-driven.
