Standards creation for smart mining: intelligent transport for autonomous mineral transport

In recent years, there has been a trend in the mining industry towards an increase in the popularity of “smart” mining, which is capable of operating autonomously. This is due to several factors, including safety concerns and the high average age of personnel at mining enterprises. Smart mining is a technology that uses automated systems and algorithms to optimize mining processes. It allows you to increase the efficiency of production and the safety of working personnel. However, the lack of standardized requirements for smart mining has led to a variety of misaligned equipment. For this reason, active work is underway to create standards for automation systems. In addition, work is underway to develop intelligent systems for autonomous mining transport. These systems will automate the process of transporting goods and people at mining enterprises. Ways of introducing this technology to mining sites are also being investigated. In the process of developing this technology, it will be improved and increasingly implemented in various aspects of the mining industry. The introduction of smart mining is expected to lead to significant improvements in the efficiency and safety of the mining industry. This will allow businesses to reduce costs, increase productivity and provide safer working conditions for their employees.
