As the adoption of autonomous systems in mining advances, small autonomous equipment is growing more affordable and accessible. These technologies can be an option for different types of operations (e.g., quarries, small-scale mining operations, underground mining, or auxiliary and support equipment at larger operations). There is a growing diversity in vendors for smaller equipment, which presents both opportunities and challenges. During upcoming workshops, participants will dig in to key considerations around introducing small vehicles to surface operations.

As the integration of autonomous systems in mining advances, the availability and affordability of small autonomous equipment is increasing. These technologies can be an option for different types of operations (e.g., quarries, small-scale mining operations, underground mining, or auxiliary and support equipment at larger operations). There is a growing diversity in vendors for smaller equipment, which presents both opportunities and challenges. This project was recently divided into surface and underground segments. The surface component focuses primarily on the benefits of small haul vehicles (100 tonnes or less), while the underground section focuses on different types of equipment. At the upcoming workshop, participants will dig in to key considerations around introducing small vehicles to surface operations.

Many underground mining operations today are looking to advance the use of autonomous systems underground. Although the want is there, the industry still faces many needs and challenges, like how to design for autonomous. Things like standardization, support from leadership, and organizational changes are all needed to make autonomous work. How can we solve some of these challenges and meet these needs? Now that we’ve identified the missing pieces for autonomous mining underground, how do we now take action to move forward? At the June 18-19 Sudbury Forum, hear from a panel of innovation experts in mining on their strategies for integrating autonomous systems in their mines and how they are facing some of these challenges.
