Innovative Technological Transformation in Mining Industry: Sustainable Outlook and Futuristic Approach

Innovation is crucial in the mining industry for improving efficiency, reducing costs, and addressing social and environmental concerns. Technological advancements enable exploitation of new deposits in complex scenarios. This paper identifies current digital transformation and key technologies in the mining industry. And identifies Mining's future is being shaped by technological trends such as continuous mining, invisible zero-waste mining, electro mobility, and digital transformation (DT). To improve processes across the value chain, DT involves implementing technologies 4.0, such as automation, robotics, and remotization of activities for providing orientation points for future digital transformation processes. In this study is qualitative data is used from several Scopus based journal and conferences papers. This paper also includes technological challenges faced by mining industry. On behalf of several studies, we also explore few analyses and recommendations also for smooth running of mining industry.
