Latest technology, like the internet of things IoT), big data analytics & machine learning, and the convergence of operations technology (OT) with business IT provides new possibilities for efficiency gains and safer operations.
In many cases, it starts with connecting the physical objects in the mine and in the mill with business processes, linking sensor readings or geolocation, to business process context - like profitability or quality. Finally, it's all about better insights and smarter decisions.
The following blogs take the mill products & mining point-of-view. We look at manufacturing and mill-industry specific scenarios, and take a close look at examples of the digital mine.
