When we think of mining, our mind not just flashes images of rugged terrain, the sight of trundling heavy vehicles or swirling dust. Mining today has got more to do with data. Since mining generates considerable data, it needs the adoption of digital technologies to mine the data right for smart business outcomes. Historically, mining has been grappling with external headwinds like volatile commodity prices. Now, a raging pandemic has stepped up the challenge for the global mining industry. Miners need to turn leaner and get more innovative to stay competitive. Which is why onboarding digital technologies has become a have to have for the mining ecosystem.

The Digital Mining Market: What’s Driving It?

The market size for digital mining estimated at $11.69 billion in 2020 is expected to reach $32.42 billion by 2028, meaning a CAGR of 13.5 per cent (Source: Reports and Data). The two key factors fueling the digital mining market are the surging requirement of real-time analysis and the broader adoption of automation platforms in mining. Cutting-edge technologies like Artificial Intelligence (AI), Robotics and the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) are central to the future of a fully connected mine. Digital technologies help achieve IT-OT convergence. The worry here is the implementation of digital technologies in-silos across the mine value chain. We can bury the worry with a unified digital interface, tracking the ore trail from pit-to-port.
