Introduction of the Smart mining Market Report

Smart mining is a process that uses autonomy, technology, and information for achieving better mining productivity with reduced operational costs which leads to enhanced safety. Mining firms emphasize more on improving productivity by offering state-of-the-art software solutions. Smart mining equipment and components find their application in surface mining and underground mining and are known as open cast or pit mining. Thus, with the integration of smart mining in underground mining, a noticeable difference in mine production has been observed. The smart mining market covers a wide range of services which include support and maintenance, system integration and implementation services, and other types of services.

Market Dynamic

Key Drivers and Emerging Trends

Advanced data analytics have been applied to the raw data to create insights, visualizations, and recommendations which provides emerging growth and is responsible for the robust growth of the market. For instance, Dundee Precious Metals, a vital player of the smart mining market, has introduced wireless network technology into an underground mine. The company utilized Wi-Fi and RFID technology for detecting the location of equipment and people. The smart mining companies have adopted this technology for improved efficiency and sustainable growth. Furthermore, rise in the use of novel mining technologies in the replacement of obsolete mining technologies is upsurging the growth of the market. For instance, in 2020 IBM and Shell agreed on a joint venture to launch a new smart mining platform with incorporated artificial intelligence that helps the mining sector move forward with improved safety and health monitoring.

The rise in the adoption of autonomous equipment for improved mining efficiency which meets the demand for today’s mining firms, is another factor that is primarily responsible for the rapid growth of the global smart mining market. Smart mining techniques or smart mining technologies is considered as the safest and environment-friendly method as compared to the traditional mining methods because it provides pollution monitoring to meet the environmental regulations.

Restraint in the Smart mining Market

However, the unavailability of adequate infrastructure & the high investment cost in the adoption of novel technology are the factors that are hampering the market’s growth.
