Mining companies use IoT for automation & digital transformation to bridge the information gap

Mining companies are turning to technology and automation, including IoT-based tracking and monitoring solutions to close the information gap and improve their operations and profitability. They have taken to the path of digital transformation that is sweeping the sector. By digitizing the monitoring and tracking system, they are able to generate information that is used for data analytics to help the company and its managers in informed decision-making. They are turning to automation to close the gap and improve operations.

By analyzing the vast collection of data in real time, companies are gaining valuable insights to improve efficiency and productivity. Cutting-edge solutions, such as IoT-based tracking and monitoring, are the way forward for mining companies to confront major challenges, such as safety concerns, declining ore quality and volatile commodity prices. They need to select appropriate technologies to ensure seamless integration and define a sustainable, reliable IoT-enabled digital architecture.

Mining companies are monitoring their operations 24×7 and gathering information or data on everything from quality of material to the condition of equipment in real-time, with the help of IoT-based tracking and monitoring solutions. This helps to identify issues beforehand and take corrective action. The mining companies deploy a fleet of vehicles and earth-moving equipment for their daily operations. GPS-enabled monitoring of vehicles improves asset utilization, efficiency, and productivity. Analyzing the data related to this area can identify energy usage or misuse and ways to cut costs and improve profitability.

Using Automation & Data Analytics

Implementation of automation, including IoT-based tracking and monitoring solutions helps reduce human intervention, especially in dangerous environments and challenging work situations. This factor helps reduce risks, costs and improves safety. Automation also is a scalable process that can support the expansion of the business. Data analyzed puts companies in a better position to make informed decisions that improve sustainability. The use of automated equipment and devices, including IoT-based tracking and monitoring solutions, to close the information gap helps to provide accurate and timely data that help to identify operational efficiencies and optimize productivity.

In short, the adoption of the digital platform, automation and IoT-based tracking and monitoring solutions has helped the mining industry to close the information gap. Obviously, this approach is getting widely adopted by industry leaders who look for ways to stay competitive in a rapidly changing business world.

We foresee a growing demand for IoT-based tracking and monitoring solutions in the mining industries ahead. Industrial IoT solutions support backward compatibility and integration, which is called IoT retrofitting.
