SAIMM Limpopo Branch Technical Conference

Introduction

INTRODUCTION
The advent of digital technologies for advanced mining has resulted in a rapid transformation in the industrial world. In the mining sector, dynamic technologies largely aim to transform production agents from fully physical systems to cyber-physical systems. This is achieved by integration of various technologies such as Internet-of-Things, Artificial Intelligence (AI), big data, edge computing, cyber-security etc. to bridge the digital and physical worlds.
In this respect, a strong necessity to increase productivity through automated means while avoiding redundancy of human workers has led to great challenges on the global economy.
