Adoption of Industry 4.0 Technologies in Chilean Mining: A Comparative Analysis Between Sectors

Mining, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 4(4), P. 913 - 925

Published: Oct. 24, 2024

Industry 4.0 represents a crucial technological revolution for the modernization and competitiveness of companies, offering tools that enhance efficiency, productivity, sustainability industrial processes. Adopting these technologies is essential, especially in sectors such as mining, where their implementation can radically transform operations. This study investigates adoption among mining non-mining companies Chile, using data from Survey Access Use Information Communication Technology Companies. A Principal Component Analysis (PCA) identified main variables influencing adoption. The results indicate are significantly more advanced integrating ERP, SCM, Big Data, which optimize operational processes strengthen competitiveness. In contrast, show dispersed adoption, could limit capacity innovation. These findings underscore importance developing differentiated public policies promote SMEs less sectors, also encouraging development internal capacities collaboration between businesses government to accelerate digital transformation.

Fossil Fuel Prospects in the Energy of the Future (Energy 5.0): A Review

Energies, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 17(22), P. 5606 - 5606

Published: Nov. 9, 2024

Achieving the energy and climate goals of sustainable development, declared by UN as imperative relevant for upcoming Society 5.0 with its human-centricity technological requires ensuring a “seamless” Fourth Energy Transition, preserving but at same time modifying role fossil fuels in economic development. In this regard, purpose review is to analyze structure publications field platforms future (Energy 5.0), digital human-centric modernization investment fuel extraction context Transition. To achieve goal, presents comprehensive overview research determining prospects within 5.0, characterized not only dominance renewable sources zero CO2 emissions, also introduction technologies Industry (the Industrial Internet Everything, collaborative artificial intelligence, triplets). It was concluded that further such areas development vector investment, achieving reducing emissions mineral extractive sector itself, developing capture utilization important promising

Conceptual application of digital twins to meet ESG targets in the mining industry

Frontiers in Industrial Engineering, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 1

Published: July 21, 2023

Environmental, social, and governance (ESG) focus continues to gain traction in the mining industry through publicly made policies, promises, commitments. In 2022, both ESG technological investments were identified top trends by Deloitte risks opportunities Ernst Young. As first step value chain, sets foundation for most industries meeting their targets. Beyond providing sustainable materials, is required produce critical minerals needed creation of technologies. With an ongoing debate on how factors should be measured inconsistent reporting between companies, there remains a gap consistent auditable progress reporting. This study evaluates application digital twin technology bridge By examining use thirty case studies theoretical applications across that share commonalities with mining, this analyzes opportunity apply industry. The research found can applied all project phases provide added improve multiple measure them. Though identifies are benefits from phases, three dimensions, challenges implementation. Successful implementation will require right people capabilities. suggested let other stabilize market due history substantial investment data systems, it arguable literature, leading companies’ precursor technologies twins, solutions available scalable, time wait over.

Investigation of the Rock-Breaking Mechanism of Drilling under Different Conditions Using Numerical Simulation

Applied Sciences, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 13(20), P. 11389 - 11389

Published: Oct. 17, 2023

The interaction between the drill bit and rock is a complex dynamic problem in process of drilling breaking rock. In this paper, analyzed using ABAQUS software. rock-breaking mechanism revealed according to stress–strain state force bit. effect size characteristics mass on parameters studied during process. results show that both thrust torque linear increase with increasing speed under each fixed rotational speed. has minimal impact correlation coefficient relationship curves force, torque, rotation soft–hard interlayered formation there are significant differences different types. Whether transitioning from soft layer hard or vice versa, distinctly manifested whenever change quality. correspondingly confining pressure. When subjected lateral pressure, gradually rising Vertical exhibits larger compared horizontal drilling. more significantly rise pressure

An Underground Mine Safety-Oriented Optimization Model for Mine Tailings Backfill Scheduling Considering Multi-Process and Multi-Cycle Issues

Minerals, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 13(11), P. 1409 - 1409

Published: Nov. 3, 2023

The backfill mining method is adopted in many mines around the world because it can reliably handle underground mine tailings and eliminate dangers goafs. It necessary to improve backfilling resource allocation efficiency, thereby eliminating safety hazards providing reliable support for next stage of as quickly possible. In this paper, we propose a backfill-scheduling optimization model that considers multiple processes, constraints, operating capabilities. purpose minimize exposure time This NP-hard (Nondeterministic Polynomial-time hard) problem has non-inferior implemented solution through iterations genetic, crossover, mutation operations genetic algorithm. results show significantly reduces backfilling-delay backfilling-operation time.
