Remote work is only a means to an end

During the simulation , the various scenarios explored how disruptive technologies will promote remote working in mines . Yet it was clear that promoting remote work is a step to a greater goal , complete automatization of mining operations which in return lead to processes that are shaped and managed by data collected and easier to customise . The quest for operational excellence through digital transformation is already a focus for mining majors like Newmont seeking to improve safety , reduce costs and support sustainability .

“ Blasting , drilling , hauling , the processes at mills – all aspects of mining will become increasingly automated over the next 10 years .”
