Mining companies can encourage their employees to become more secure with new ways by talking clearly, building confidence, and training them to succeed in the new climate.
FREMONT, CA: As self-driving vehicles grow and evolve and the Internet of Things (IoT) and wireless connectivity become more prevalent, the mining industry has shown rising interest in automated haul trucks and other mobile devices. Today, a range of businesses have or are piloting the use of autonomous vehicles, trains, and loaders at mine sites. These efforts are a significant leap away from conventional methods, but they are merely scratching the surface on how autonomous vehicles can be used in mining. Many of the industry's autonomous projects concentrate on individual equipment and, like many, are only in the early stages, with just 3 percent of mobile equipment in the industry being self-sufficient.
Increased use of intelligence in applications, in the form of Artificial Intelligence (AI), machine learning, robotic process automation, analytical, diagnostic, predictive and prescriptive analysis, and scenario simulation would be crucial to bringing autonomy to the next level. These technologies help systems to understand data flowing through operations, enable situational awareness, gain near-real-time organizational insights, and define options to consider.
As businesses seek greater control, there are many considerations to bear in mind that will be instrumental to success. Companies must:
Focus on Value:
The autonomous path to value will be as distinct as each business. Clear visibility of core value factors is crucial to preventing false start-ups and matching stakeholder expectations.
Address the Foundation
Ensure IT architectures can facilitate communications between different networks and types of equipment. Assess the interoperability of applications that are essential to the convergence of mining operations and supply chain operations. C ..
