Market Insights on Smart Mining covering sales outlook, demand forecast & up-to-date key trends
Smart Mining Market By Automated Equipment (Driller & Breaker, Load Haul Dump ), Component (Hardware, Intelligent System), Solution (Data & Operation Management Software, Analytics Solution), Service (Engineering & Maintenance Service, Consulting Service) & Region - Forecast to 2015 - 2020
Introduction
Adoption of automated vehicles and technology will continue to gain traction in the mining industry, as operational efficiency and safety gain centre stage. During the forecast period 2015-2020, the global smart mining market is anticipated to increase at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14.5%, and rake in US$ 13 Bn in revenues. The key areas which are currently witnessing increasing automation include surface drilling technologies, simulator training, and machine guidance.
The key trends expected to shape up the adoption of smart technologies include,
Robust Adoption of Internet of Things (IoT)
Rapid advancement in technology will continue to influence mining operations. While a fully connected mining site may be still be a few years away, IoT is increasingly being adopted in mining equipment and vehicles. To increase operational efficiency and reduce downtime, miners are using advanced tools for predictive maintenance. The use of IoT in scheduling and predicting maintenance and repair tasks is expected to play a key role in its widespread adoption.
Investment in Simulation Technology
Simulation technology is gaining traction among miners owing to its proven benefits in responding to emergency situations. While the technology per se is highly efficient, shrinking budgets have resulted into limited adoption. However, the technology is poised to witness widespread adoption in the long run.
Growing Use of 3D Imaging
3D imaging is being widely used for exploration of mines, and this trend is expected to become stronger in the future. It is anticipated that adoption of this technology will grow on account of its growing use in planning and targeting of drill holes.
Implementation of Remote Monitoring Systems
Remote monitoring systems enable miners to collect data from the site in real-time and transmit it to the local centre in real time. A significant percentage of mining companies have successfully adopted remote monitoring systems in their operations. Implementation of remote monitoring systems is anticipated to witness an uptick in the near future.
