We quickly talk about Digitalization driving technology advancements throughout all industries and areas of daily life. We enjoy the new technology if it is about talking to our phone or navigation system or the proposal for groceries that our favorite delivery service suggests based on what we liked the best from the past deliveries.
Digital technology is for sure enjoyable and in many ways valuable. No question Digitalization is a Mega Trend changing the way we live and work in all aspects of our lives. We expect things to become faster, easier, smarter and available at our fingertips.
So, what do we expect from Digitalization in Mining and how far has the industry come yet? How is Digitalization improving Mining Operations and particularly in Underground Mining, where basic connectivity is not naturally given and where traditionally performance and status information has been very much relying on people?
With this survey Nerospec SK wants to help the industry to develop a feeling of where other mines stand along this journey. Also, we want to provide answers to the benefits, challenges and key elements to get right on your digitalization journey. We hope to provide some valuable insight about what to expect from the Digital Underground Mine.
