As Smart Mining machinery and functions become smarter, they can also be operated from remote locations using virtual control systems. Remote operation centers allow supervisors and technicians to monitor mining operations from a single location using large digital dashboards. They can oversee autonomous vehicles, remotely operate diggers and drills, and receive real-time performance data. This centralized virtual control model reduces on-site staff requirements while improving oversight, optimization, and decision making.
As mining autonomous machines and systems become more prevalen, governments and safety authorities are developing new regulatory frameworks and standards. Areas of focus include cybersecurity, independent safety mechanisms, operator certification, and ensuring autonomous vehicles can interact safely with humans on surface sites. Global standards also aim to foster technology integration across regions and mining operations. Regulators play an important ongoing role providing guidance and oversight for safe smart mining practices.
