Transforming Mining
In recent years, mining companies have adopted a growing range of digital solutions. Many have mechanised their operations, moved from the physical to the digital realm by adding equipment sensors. Despite this progress, in many ways these steps are only a beginning. The true power of digital transformation lies in a structured road map that extends changes from an individual asset level to the entire organisation, to create a platform for innovation and collaboration鈥攗ltimately ensuring that digital transformation goes beyond replacing workers and instead augments the workforce and collaborates with it.

According to the report by Allied Market Research, the global mining equipment market was estimated at $137.57 billion in 2021 and is expected to hit $165.82 billion by 2027, registering a CAGR of 5.7 per cent from 2021 to 2027.

Said Tony Van Herbruggen, General Manager, Atlas Copco Power Technique, Atlas Copco India, 鈥淭he mining sector is a segment of paramount importance in India, looking at the amount of aggregates, which is required for infrastructure and construction projects. All the infrastructure and construction projects start with excavations where portable compressors are required and then the entire work chain starts. Portable air compressors play a pivotal role in infrastructure, construction and mining applications.鈥
