Transforming dark challenges to smart potentials in Mining
Challenges
The Mining Industry has traditionally been a slow mover when it comes to adapting fresh technology. Till date, mining remains one of the most dangerous professions due to frequent cave-ins, underground explosions, flash floods and chemical leaks. In the last decade however, smart technology has gradually started getting incorporated in the mining processes as a part of streamlining operations, increasing production and boosting safety and security of the workforce. With digging proceeding to greater depths, adaption of smart technologies is a must for mining to remain economically viable.
Digital technologies help improve the reliability and efficiency of mining systems responsible for higher productivity, flexibility and lowering of mining costs. Let's look at the various ways in which IoT is transforming the mining industry.
Real Time Data and Analytics
With companies gradually adopting IoT, and improving their connectivity of systems and assets, large volume of data related to production, safety and operations can be analyzed in real time aiding policy decisions. intelligent analysis of data leads to better understanding of process variability and deviations.
Improve traceability and visibility
Visual graphs, smart platforms and devices provides real-time visibility to critical operations. It aids operators and supervisors track status of drilling, mine planning and worker location.
Cloud-based logistics
The use of cloud based logistics and load sharing platforms aid mining companies in executing and managing sales contracts, overseeing inventories and product flow, real time analysis and determination of pricing and optimized loading of trucks to minimize fuel consumption.
Predictive maintenance
Continuous data monitoring and intelligent predictive data analysis helps mining companies keep a real time check on the health of all functioning assets preventing major losses due to sudden breakdowns.
IoT has transformed the mining industry like never before by enabling a unified monitoring system along with a compliance effective and safe workplace.
