Global mining industry technological transformation

Overview

The global mining industry is increasingly focusing on technological transformation, specifically through the integration of digitalization, artificial intelligence (AI), and the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT).

In Poland, discussions at the Future Mining Forum highlighted the use of InSAR satellite technology for monitoring ground deformation and the development of internal AI tools by KGHM Polska Miedź to support human decision-making. Concurrently, the company Bogdanka reported increased operational efficiency and plans to maintain coal production levels around 8 million tons in 2026.

In South America, the ‘Mining 4.0: The Future is Already in Operation’ summit addressed the challenges of large-scale automation and data usage. Industry leaders from companies including BHP and Anglo American emphasized that for AI and IoT to be effective, firms must overcome data fragmentation and prioritize cybersecurity as information and operational technologies integrate. Experts noted that technology should serve as a tool to enhance, rather than replace, human expertise.
