Introduction
INTRODUCTION
Whatever terminology you wish to use, it is obvious that the world of work is changing rapidly. Even more so now that we are in the COVID19 lockdown.
As a result, we have instituted a number of webinar events, which can be enjoyed from home, or anywhere. These have so far been very successful, and we are now embarking on a series of events, which create a virtual conference, but held over several sessions. The Digitalization event is one of these.
The Mining Industry, along the Mining Value Chain, has to be a part of the digital transformation in order to remain competitive, and to reach its ambition of Zero Harm.
Mining businesses in Africa need to join this journey, to remain relevant and sustainable, or be left behind. This event is a showcase and learning experience for everyone associated with the Mining Industry, to learn about Global Best Practices, to network with global leaders in mining and other businesses, and to do so in an exciting and interactive format that we have never used before.
Be prepared to be BLOWN AWAY and to come to these events and come away excited, informed and modernized!
The SAIMM is going Digital!
As part of our digital transformation journey, this year we are excited to host the Digitalization in Mining Conference as a completely new digital experience.
Background
BACKGROUND
The Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) is the term for the world’s digital transformation journey. Every day, it gathers more pace. Here, constant innovation is inevitable. It now drives competitiveness among successful global companies.
What is also clear is the mining industry, and in particular mining in Africa, must understand where we are on the innovation curve. We need to develop strategies to not get left behind.
This requires deep knowledge of the potential impact and value of digitalization on mining and metallurgical processes. We also need to understand the Ïnternet of (Mining) Things in both opencast and underground mines.
Automation, virtual and augmented reality, real time information management and control are all components of this journey. The underground mining environment in particular, has challenges to address.
