Smart mining : AI in the mining industry
AI is increasingly used in the mining industry to optimize processes, improve decision-making, extract value from data and increase safety.
While AI has many advantages in the mining sector, it is a relatively new technology and innovation is ongoing in this area. Over the past decade, the mining industry has made vast technological advances to boost productivity. Many large-scale mining companies have already begun or are in the process of achieving their digital transformation, particularly by investing in autonomous IoT-based technologies.
The application of artificial intelligence in the mining industry :
1- Automatization of vehicles and machines in the mining industry :
Autonomous vehicles have revolutionized the mining industry, they allow humans to connect to machines and control them remotely. They can be used in underground mines and other locations where the safety of employees may be at risk.
Surface mines are often compared to worlds of giants, because there is oversized machinery and because the size of a pit can be very surprising.
2- Improving safety and working conditions :
AI can identify process failures and prevent accidents and injuries using real-time quality data and analysis.
Mining operations can deploy autonomous machinery to avoid putting their workers at risk by making data-based decisions.

3- Error elimination :
That’s the role mainly for data analysis. Thanks to this discipline, miners can better understand the environment, especially the terrain. As a result, they can make more informed decisions regarding where to begin excavation to be efficient and safe.

4- Eliminate the environmental impact :
It’s impossible to eliminate the full environmental impact of mining because there’s always a level of destruction in the process. In order to extract resources, some parts of the environment will inevitably undergo some form of change. However, AI has the potential to significantly mitigate and reduce adverse environmental effects.

5- The uses of drones :
Drones are another type of robotic assistant that is increasingly used in the mining industry. Companies rely on these flying devices to monitor mining operations from above and detect unexpected problems, malfunctions, and the overall impact on the surrounding ecosystem.
