Twin Technology in Mining: Shaping the Future of the Industry

Image
Twin technology in mining could be defined as the integration of digital twins, that is, virtual replicas of physical assets and business processes, with live data for better management and optimization of mines. By creating a dynamic, ever-evolving model mirroring the operating condition of a mine and its constituent assets, digital twins thus enable the simulation, analysis, and optimization of processes by stakeholders. In this blog, we are going to talk about twin technology in mining, enumerate the benefits of using it, and look at recent trends that shape the face of the future.  What is Twin Technology in Mining?  The concept of digital twins is not entirely new but has gained significant momentum in recent years due to advancements in computing power, big data analytics, and the Internet of Things (IoT). In the context of mining, a digital twin replicates everything from individual pieces of machinery to the entire operational workflow of a mine. This real-time connect...
