Abstract

The mining industry, traditionally reliant on manual labor and mechanized equipment, is undergoing a profound transformation through the integration of automation and smart technologies. This shift, driven by the need for enhanced safety, efficiency, and sustainability, is paving the way for a new era of mining operations. Automation in mining encompasses the use of robotics, autonomous vehicles, drones, and data analytics to streamline operations, reduce human intervention, and optimize resource extraction. Coupled with smart mining technologies such as IoT (Internet of Things), AI (Artificial Intelligence), and advanced data analytics, these innovations are improving productivity, reducing environmental impact, and enhancing worker safety. This article explores the key technologies driving the automation of mining, their benefits and challenges, and the potential future trends shaping the mining industry.
