This presentation explores how underground IS mining can become more future-ready through digital transformation, with a focus on improving safety, productivity, operational visibility, and long-term profitability.
Highlighting the importance of building a reliable digital foundation, particularly intrinsically safe, resilient mine-wide connectivity, to support voice, tracking, safety systems, telemetry, video, analytics, and increasingly autonomous equipment.
Outlining a digital maturity journey from digitising and connecting operations through to visualisation, optimisation, and automation, emphasising that technology investments must be linked to measurable operational value.
Finally, it positions solutions such as AXON IS, Wi-Fi 6, UWB/BLE positioning, Helix software and integrated mine-wide platforms as key enablers for moving underground mines from connected operations toward intelligent and autonomous mining.
