Abstract

Digital transformation, Industry 4.0, and emerging networking technologies provide mining industries productivity, sustainability, and safety. Mining automation systems today typically control fixed plant equipment such as pumps, fans, and phone systems. Much work is underway around the world in attempting to create the moveable equivalent of the manufacturing assembly line for mining. Process automation systems in mineral processing plants provide important plant operational information such as metallurgical accounting, mass balances, production management, process control, and optimization. Cloud-based IIoT platforms collect and share data in the mines and concentrators to allow widespread monitoring, analyzation, optimization, and control. This chapter discusses robotics and automation for mining and process control in mineral processing. Teleoperation of mining equipment and control strategies for grinding and flotation serve as examples of current development in the field.
