In this episode Roland Plett and Bruce Frederick talk about how mining has evolved from the soot faced man in a hard hat holding a canary in a cage in one hand and a pick axe in the other to driverless trucks and tele-remote workers running the equipment from gaming chairs well above the earth\u2019s surface.<\/p>\n Mining has grown dramatically in the last 10 years due to the necessity of minerals and mining to support green initiatives and sustainability. The improvements that this increased demand has necessitated include environmental, worker safety and security and business. Below are just a few of the examples of the efficiency that technology has brought to the mining industry.<\/p>\n Mining companies are increasingly investing in reestablishing natural environments impacted by their operations. Key initiatives include:<\/p>\n Water Source Protection:<\/strong> Rigorous measures are in place to safeguard water sources, ensuring responsible water management. Ensuring the safety of miners remains a top priority, and technological advancements are playing a pivotal role:<\/p>\n Tele-Remote Dozing:<\/strong> Human operators can now control bulldozers remotely from a safer location, eliminating the need to expose workers to hazardous underground environments. Every minute that operations stop can cost mining companies millions of dollars, so they are leveraging technology to optimize financial performance and operational efficiency:<\/p>\n Predictive Maintenance<\/strong>: Sensors provide imminent failure information, enabling proactive maintenance to prevent costly equipment breakdowns. These advancements represent a shift in the mining industry, showcasing a commitment to environmental responsibility, enhanced safety measures and improved financial performance. As technology continues to evolve, Cisco is providing the communication, connectivity, and automation technologies that play a crucial role in enhancing operational efficiency, safety, and overall productivity.<\/p>\n Together the mining sector is poised for further transformative changes, ensuring a more sustainable and responsible future.<\/p>\n Watch or take a listen to the episode to find out more!<\/p>\n “}]]\u00a0\u00a0Technological advancements represent a shift in the mining industry, showcasing a commitment to environmental responsibility, enhanced safety measures and improved financial performance.\u00a0\u00a0Read More<\/a>\u00a0Cisco Blogs\u00a0<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" <\/p>\n A few weeks ago our mining experts sat down with Danny Vicente from Cisco\u2019s Coffee and Conversations<\/a> to discuss what is taking place in the mining industry.
