The mining industry is rapidly embracing the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) with increasingly sophisticated equipment and automation. However, people, leadership, and human behaviour are not being integrated with 4IR technologies, which can cause numerous challenges. Sociometric sensors with Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) capabilities can help to address this challenge and improve culture, behaviour, and leadership within mines. These sensors measure things such as eye contact, voice pitch, body orientation and proximity to others, which can be analysed and used to add value.
