Big Data to Transform Mining Industry

As the world becomes more digital, emerging technologies are taking hold—especially in the mining industry. We’re well into a new year and one of the big trends predicted in the mining industry for 2022 is the focus on big data.

From Proactive Australia’s article “Emerging technologies that will transform mining in 2022”:

Some of the key technologies driving this transformation include blockchain, artificial intelligence and big data, where resource-intensive processes are being replaced by autonomous operations.

Big data

Across one site alone, stakeholders can include the mining company, governmental agencies, local communities, transport companies, contractors, suppliers and, eventually, the consumers.

Big data, if used effectively, can monitor all operations in the mining industry in real-time and help the company achieve a competitive and operational advantage.

What’s So Good About Big Data?

For your business to thrive and operate at maximum efficiency, you need a full view of your workforce. Who is working for you and where. What qualifications and training they have. How many people you have on site at any given time.

Good data helps to inform business decisions. The flow on effect being better workplace performance and improved safety outcomes on your sites and projects.

And how do you gather this data? With an integrated workforce management solution
