Pictures of the Future for the Mining IndustryDigitalization is a key lever to support the targets of the Mining Industry in 2030

DIGITAL

MINE

Digitalization is the major key for increasing cost-efficiency and automation

of operations and processes in the mining industry, especially in hazardous

and hard to reach environments.

Five fundamental drivers in the Mining Industry

• From open pit to

underground mine

• New underground

operation

Output

• Increasing ore

recovery

• Asset Efficiency

& Reliability

• Production and

Resources efficiency

Costs

• CAPEX efficiency

• OPEX reduction

• Organizations

and processes

optimization

• Standardization

Lower Grade

• Continuous decrease

of the average ore

grade

• Less large high-

quality deposits

HSSE

• Health, Safety

and Security

in harsh environment

• Awareness of

environmental care

• Lack of skilled talents

• Productivity is going down, costs are going up

• Development and commissioning of greenfield or expansion projects need to be accelerated

• Critical equipment has to have highest availability

Impacts in Industries

… Given the limited options of low-hanging

cost savings in the current downturn,

operators and suppliers are looking

towards digital technologies to realize cost

efficiencies

… global electricity demand and crude oil

prices reduced by 60% in 2020

1/3

…of businesses will increase remote

work after COVID-1984%

… of millennials have the budget and

authority to make enterprise technology

purchases of $10,000+. Baby Boomers are

only at 23% and Gen Xers at 27%
