Wabtec’s Digital Mine is at the forefront of the digital transformation of the mining ecosystem. We create solutions that connect people, processes, equipment and technology to improve safety, recovery and productivity across our customers’ value chain. Mining safety is at the forefront whether it’s through proximity detection or pro-actively alerting an operator of a potential Collision Avoidance Scenario. The mining industry has grown substantially in complexity, causing mining organizations to struggle to maintain profitability as ore grades continue to decline, skilled labor becomes harder to find, and equipment begins to age and fail. This has caused many operations to invest more heavily in operational technology (OT) and in information technology (IT) as a first step to digitization. Yet without the proper connection between OT and IT, these investments can create more silos for data to hide in and an even more disconnected workforce. In order for a mining organization to address these issues to better streamline operations and boost productivity, it will require the adoption of a complete digital industrial transformation.
