Digitalisation in Mining: BEUMER Group’s Breakthroughs at MINExpo 2024

Mining Innovations Through Digitalisation

BEUMER Group will outline the considerable advantages in efficiency, safety, and sustainability of digitalisation in mining at the MINExpo exhibition in Las Vegas, Nevada, from 24 – 26 September 2024. Visitors can find out how digitalisation can be a catalyst for change. Digitalisation enables organisations to collect and analyse data and test machines under new operational conditions, i.e. using a digital twin model.

Transformative Benefits of Digital Mining

• Data-Driven Decisions: Unique options enabled by digitalisation lead to a more informed decision-making process.
• Cost Reductions: Mining plants can benefit from increased efficiencies as digitalisation supports material tracking systems.
• Intelligent Routing: Companies can automate and closely monitor resources through sensor data.

Enhanced Operational Efficiency

Digitalisation can also streamline and automate scheduling for material handling and storage. It consolidates data from all machines into a single dashboard for predictive maintenance, reducing downtime. Furthermore, advanced anti-collision systems can protect personnel and assets, improving safety.

Adapting to Workforce Challenges

Digital solutions can address workforce retention issues in mining. With an aging workforce, digitalisation may transform traditionally manual tasks.

BEUMER Group, a digital integrator, offers customised solutions for the mining industry. Visitors can learn more about FAM Minerals & Mining, part of BEUMER Group, providing machines for the complete transport chain of bulk materials.

Bruno Castro, Global Head of Digital Technology at BEUMER Group, said, "Digitalisation can also transform heavy industries like mining. Our experts will showcase how digital technologies can unlock tangible benefits in efficiency, productivity, and safety."
