Metals, Mining, & Machinery

The mining & heavy machinery industries are focused on autonomous mining vehicles that allow humans to remotely control and communicate with machines. It enables them to navigate operations in isolated and inhospitable environments without risking human life. In addition, IoT-based monitoring systems and GPS technology considerably speed up response time during emergencies. Then there is the question of reduced emissions and carbon neutrality that demands an answer within the hard-set net zero timeline.

The industry needs to innovate, find alternative sources, and re-strategize its R&D and growth plans to meet those challenges. Digital technologies like remote operations, 2D materials, robotics, surface engineering, and smart materials will improve the mining scenario, especially concerning rare-earth minerals. Further, technological breakthroughs in the leaching process, block caving, and allied aspects will be in focus for the next 5 years to enhance the supply chain of raw materials.
