Digital Mining Technologies
The main digital technologies used in modern mining, from exploration to safety and sustainability.
Drawing diagram…
What this diagram shows
- Covers the full mine life cycle
- Safety and environment sit alongside productivity
- Useful for planning a mine digitalisation roadmap
Prompt used
Mind map of digital mining: exploration (drone surveys, geological modelling, drill data), mine planning (3D block models, scheduling), operations (fleet management, autonomous haulage, drill automation), processing (plant control, ore sorting, digital twin), safety (personnel tracking, gas monitoring, fatigue detection) and sustainability (energy management, water recycling, emissions tracking).

Mine Fleet Management System
A fleet management system for an open-pit mine: dump trucks and shovels report position and payload, a dispatch engine assigns loads, and a control room watches production live.
Haul Truck Cycle
The states of a mining haul truck in each load-and-dump cycle, used by dispatch systems to measure productivity and waiting time.
Underground Mine Communication Network
How an underground mine keeps people connected and safe: leaky feeder radio, Wi-Fi, gas sensors and personnel tracking tags, linked to the surface control room.
Ore to Metal Material Flow
How mined ore becomes finished metal in an iron and steel chain, in thousand tonnes per month, showing where material is lost.
Smelter Process Control Deployment
Where the control systems of a metal smelter run: field instruments, PLCs and a DCS in the plant, a historian, and a separate business network behind a demilitarised zone.
Chemical Batch Traceability
Tables that trace a chemical product batch back to its raw material lots, process steps, quality tests and customer shipments, for recalls and audits.
