Dundee Precious Metals (DPM) is renowned for its forward-thinking approach to technology, continuously seeking innovative solutions to improve the safety and efficiency of its underground operations. Traditional geospatial data collection methods in underground mines were both time-consuming and limited in the amount and accuracy of data they could gather.
Autonomous mining equipment represents a significant advancement in the mining industry, promising enhanced efficiency, safety, and productivity. These sophisticated machines, capable of operating without direct human intervention, are transforming the way mining operations are conducted. By leveraging technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning, and robotics, Autonomous mining equipment can perform a variety of tasks, from drilling and blasting to loading and hauling, with precision and consistency.
As underground mines push towards greater autonomy, the spotlight is on the power of simulation and optimization. While a fully Autonomous mine is often hailed as the holy grail of modern mining—promising unmatched safety
The mining industry has long been a driver of innovation, constantly seeking ways to increase efficiency, reduce costs, and enhance safety. In recent years, two technologies have emerged as game-changers in this quest for progress: drone surveying and artificial intelligence (AI). RocketDNA, a leader in data and Automation solutions, harnesses these technologies to offer unparalleled insights and efficiency in mining operations.
Industries worldwide are undergoing rapid transformations thanks to technological advancements. Automated production lines, automated vehicles, and robotic systems have significantly enhanced efficiency across various sectors. Yet, the mining industry has traditionally been slow to adopt these innovations. With Automation offering countless benefits, including improved safety and efficiency, what has been holding back the mining industry from embracing these technological advancements?
The quarrying and mining industry is entering a new era with the adoption of Autonomous technology, marking a significant step forward in improving safety, sustainability, and efficiency. Transitioning to an Autonomous System requires attention to several key aspects. Here’s a comprehensive guide to preparing your site for this change.
This week, I had the honour of attending the Swedish Business Reception at Government House in Sydney, graced by Their Royal Highnesses Crown Princess Victoria and Prince Daniel of Sweden, along with Swedish Minister for International Development Cooperation and Foreign Trade, Mr Johan Forssell. The visit focused on bolstering the ties between Australian and Swedish businesses, emphasizing themes related to the United Nations Agenda 2030 and sustainability. Given the prominent role both nations play in the global mining industry, discussions centered on how companies like Ericsson can support the sector's transition toward a sustainable future.
As America's demand for critical minerals grows, mining operators face a significant challenge: replacing retiring miners. The hazardous nature of mining and the remote locations of mines contribute to the difficulty in hiring new personnel. However, advances in ultra-reliable wireless networks now enable Autonomous and Teleremote operations, enhancing safety, job attractiveness, and overall equipment efficiency (OEE).
