There can be little doubt that the implementation of digital technologies in mines — including the current hot topic, artificial intelligence — can play a big part in driving productivity, improving safety and ensuring environmental stewardship. In our main story, we look at digitalisation’s potential to enhance decision-making, and how real-time data allows for the swift identification and rectification of operational inefficiencies.
On a similar note, this edition of SA Mining looks at water infrastructure managers wanting efficient and sustainable operations, and end-to-end views of their operations, who are finding that cloud technologies can help them to reach these goals.
An ongoing concern in the industry is that of environmental, social and governance (ESG) implementation and execution, particularly in light of the European Commission’s adoption of the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive which is likely to have an impact on the local mining sector in ESG terms.
