Digitalisation in mining refers to the use of computerised or digital devices or systems and digitised data that are to reduce costs, improve business productivity, and transform mining practices.
Rapid advances in technological innovation, including through automation, digitization, and electrification, are having a fundamental impact on the mining sector.
However, it remains increasingly difficult for mining companies to decide which digital technologies are most relevant to their needs and individual mines. The speech will provide an overview of digital innovations relevant to mining companies with focus on fuel management and automation, its impact on business bottom line and how to prepare your mine for the future with digitisation.
