With roots that date back to the first industrial revolution, the mining sector is perhaps one of the oldest vertical that has witnessed ages of transformations. However, what remains poignant throughout all these years is the lack of safety measures. Companies in the mining sector are still risk-averse. But, with rapid advances in technology, some companies are on the verge of changing this narrative. From drones and advanced modeling techniques, creating sub-terrain images and maps of areas beyond human reach to automated vehicles avoiding collisions, technology is guiding mining companies to strengthen their safety. For instance, the effective use of 3D modeling technology and drones expands the area of coverage of exploration work. These images provide a prior intimation of danger and life threats in unchartered and potentially unsafe underground areas. Also, AI-based smart computers and sensors with laser power options improve operational efficiency. The laser sensors detect disaster-prone spots and safeguard miners' lives from toxic gas emissions, landslides, and more. To add, companies are also leveraging blockchain to undermine the illegal mining activities that are otherwise difficult to detect.
