Digging Into the Future – How Mining Shapes Our World

What is the “smile effect,” and why can it reduce conveyor belt cleaning performance? In this episode, we explore how the real material path influences cleaner blade wear, carryback, maintenance costs and operator safety. Discover why correctmeasurement, blade selection and positioning matter and how high-quality Rulmeca components and technical expertise support reliable, efficient and safe material handling.

This episode explores how global logistics has evolved from an invisible background function into a strategic pillar of the modern economy. Starting from the simple act of placing an online order, it reveals the complex chain of systems, technologies, warehouses, and internal material handling processes that keep goods moving. The text also highlights the impact of e-commerce, digitalization, sustainability, and the importance of reliable components and partners such as Rulmeca in ensuring continuous, efficient operations.

In this episode of I Like to Move It, we explore the hidden science behind food packaging and its role in keeping products fresh, safe, and sustainable for longer. From active and smart packaging solutions to biopolymers, nanotechnology, and biodegradable materials, the speech shows how packaging innovation can help reduce food waste, improve shelf life, and protect food quality throughout the entire supply chain, all the way to the shelf. 

In this episode of “I Like to Move It”, we talk with Rory Sinclair, CEO of Big Blue Ocean Cleanup, about the global fight against ocean pollution, the impact of coastal cleanup initiatives, and the importance of partnerships in protecting marine ecosystems. Together, we explore how organizations, companies and individuals can contribute to reducing plastic waste and creating a cleaner, healthier future for our oceans.

Join Mr. R and Alice for the "director's cut" ofthe mining story as they unpack the BDO Annual Mining Report 2026. This episode explores the $34 billion wave of megadeals and the massive merger of Anglo American and Teck Resources. We reveal how AI and data centers are becoming primary demand drivers for minerals like copper and rare earths, competing for the same resources as the energy transition. The discussion also covers thecritical role of geopolitics, US state intervention in supply chains, and the strategic push for mineral processing and value retention in Africa. Finally, we address the "hidden hurdles" of the industry, including project delays, the necessity of genuine community engagement, and the risingimportance of urban mining and recycling. Mining is no longer just about digging holes, it is a complex landscape of strategy, technology, and people.

In this episode, we explore how artificial intelligence is moving from theory to real operational decision-making in the supply chain: automating repetitive work, improving visibility across systems and teams, and enabling predictive and prescriptive approaches. With practical examples and a focus on governance, data quality, and the human role, we discuss where to start and how to turn AI from a buzzword into a real organizational capability.

Explores how the mining industry is powering the technologies, energy systems, and innovations shaping our future. Inspired by the BDO Annual Mining Report 2026, this episode dives into rising demand for critical minerals, shifting global markets, the growing role of AI in mining operations, and the sector’s environmental and community challenges. A clear and engaging look at the hidden industry that keeps the world moving.

A journey behind the scenes of the Milano‑Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics, where elite sports and precision logistics come together. From the complexity of an event spread across more than 20,000 km² to the handling technologies that ensure safe and efficient flows, discover how smart handling systems and high‑quality components allow the Games to run as smoothly as the athletes competing in them. A story that blends engineering, sustainability, and the behind‑the‑scenes of one of the largest events ever hosted in Italy.

In this episode, we explore the world of phosphoric acid production with guest expert Francesco Onori from Cavart. From the origins of phosphatic sands to the large‑scale industrial plants that transform them, we dive into the engineering, logistics, and machinery behind this essential chemical. We uncover how transport systems, conveyors, and reliable components like those from Rulmeca keep these complex processes running, and why phosphoric acid is vital for global agriculture, fertilizers, and everyday products. A clear, engaging journey into chemistry, safety, and the future of industrial engineering.
