Integration of information and mining technologies for the development of smart mines

Abstract

In the context of Industry 4.0, using next-generation information technologies to revitalize and transform traditional industries will keep traditional industries competitive in the long term. The mining industry is also going through the process of informatization. Many mining companies are expanding, but their operating and management practices are not efficient, and their business processes and organizational management are in need of reform. The prospects for increasing the productivity of the mining fleet and solving the problem of labor shortages in the mining regions today, of course, can be realized through remotely controlled mining and automated transportation. Smart mining, on the one hand, involves the application of information technology at every stage of the mining value chain, from exploration and geological modeling to equipment, operations and maintenance, logistics and transportation. To improve the efficiency of mining enterprises, it is proposed to use cloud mining technology. This will increase the efficiency and accuracy of exploration work, create up-to-date digital models of the field, and monitor transport equipment. The new regime mainly solves the problems of synergy in the group work of mining enterprises and the problems of cooperation between related enterprises.
