About Connected Mining

Connected mining refers to the use of technology to achieve better productivity and safety, as well as reduce operational costs for a mine site. Mining companies focus on improving the productivity by offering innovative solutions. Connected mining includes remote-controlled robotic machinery for mineral extraction, which is referred to as tele-robotic mining and reduces the risk for miners. For instance, Caterpillar uses robots at Gabriela Mistral mine in Antofagasta, Chile to enhance the efficiency of maintenance services. The rising demand for metals and minerals will result in increased mining activities globally, which in turn will aid in the growth of the global connected mining market over the forecast period.

Technavio’s analysts forecast the global connected mining market to grow at a CAGR of 17.46% during the period 2016-2020.
