Mining operations are actively adopting automation, unmanned systems, industrial IoT, and AI technologies on their digital transformation journey to boost operational efficiency, safety, and business success. However, achieving seamless connection among machines, systems, and humans is challenging. Several issues listed below need to be considered to ensure connectivity in digital mines.
Constant availability through wired and wireless connectivity, with high bandwidth, rapid redundancy, and advanced roaming capabilities.
Streamline operations through OT/IT data convergence, integrating multiple protocols and edge computing.
Real-time visibility of wired and wireless communication networks for efficient monitoring and management.
Empower sustainable and hybrid power supply through stable communications among renewable energy, battery energy storage, smart grids and microgrids.
