Mining and ore extraction is an ancient occupation that has seen little change in demand over the years. However, the processes associated with mining have changed significantly, with the industry adopting cutting-edge technologies such as cloud, artificial intelligence (AI), robotics, and big data to improve operations. The 2016 World Economic Forum outlined four major digitalization trends, which are likely to become increasingly attractive to miners around the world. Australia’s mining industry has historically led the world in technological innovation, with large-scale autonomous operations and government funding for a range of academic courses and projects. Self-driving cars and communication, tunnel safety optimization, underground tracking systems, and mining process simulation are some of the disruptive technologies that could be implemented in the industry.
