| | JULY 20186CIOReviewThe concept of becoming `smart' is seeping into every aspect of businesses--from smart manufacturing and smart cities to even traditional industries like mining. In fact, investments in advanced technologies such as IoT and AI have become pivotal in gaining efficiency and controlling costs for streamlined and transparent mining operations. The adoption of latest technologies in the mining industry is also inducing data-driven insights to optimize production and remove waste in areas of execution, process, structure and design.The transition to a digital mining process commences with the focus on automating physical operations and digitizing assets through the use of IoT connected devices including drones, 3D printing and wearables that can capture data in real time. To unlock the true value of data collected, miners can adopt data-driven analytics, which will also help compile information across the mining value chain. This information will help miners to identify key drivers and implement rapid operational improvements.Alongside this, data coupled with artificial intelligence can help make predictions and suggestions on exploration for higher yield results and lesser environmental impact. The integration of AI into mining operations also helps companies to streamline operations and improve safety. Spreading more light into the metals and mining ecosystem, we have curated content for this special edition by bringing together innovative service providers, changing trends, needs of the hour, and a glimpse into the digitization of the mining industry. We hope the valuable insights from industry thought-leaders and the innovative solutions from leading as well as emerging companies featured in this edition will help you in making informed decisions for your endeavors.Let us know your thoughts.EditorialThe Making of Digital MiningCopyright © 2018 ValleyMedia, Inc.
