February 22, 2023 ⚊ 1 Min read ⚊ Views 73 ⚊ TECHNOLOGY
Improved data collection and analysis via sensors and the internet is enabling mining companies to operate mines more safely, improve productivity, and reduce costs. Examples include autonomous drilling, driverless haul trucks, drones for surveying and safety, wearable technologies, and predictive maintenance. The Industrial Internet integrates and links big data, analytical tools, and wireless networks with physical and industrial equipment, or otherwise applying meta-level networking functions, to distributed systems. By adding internet connectivity and sensors to vehicles, machinery, and people, mining companies can increase efficiency, improve productivity, safety, and reduce costs on the mine site. Advances in efficiency and productivity in turn help reduce carbon emissions.
