Truly energy can neither be created not be destroyed but can change from one form to another. Explosive are chemical compound which at detonation releases specific joules of energy. The energy release during Blasting travels in form of shock wave, heat energy, light energy, sound energy and gas energy. The first release is light energy followed by shock wave which is associated with heat energy.
The last release energy is the gas energy which finalize the work need to be done by Explosive charge
Global Mining Guidelines Group (GMG) has published Foundations of AI: A Framework for AI in Mining – a white paper that offers an overview of the process of planning for and implementing artificial intelligence (AI) solutions for mining companies.
AI-based innovation is being used increasingly in the mining industry as a means to improve processes and decision-making, derive value from data and increase safety, but the levels of operational maturity are variable across the industry. Though many m
The mining industry is so colossal that I thought it would be genuine to set off the first among several conversations not in terms of sectors (crushing, maintenance, drilling, processing, tunneling, underground mining, etc.), but connectivity, for what it is worth, which I believe is one of the most sensitive aspects in mining as it touches all those sectors.
I want to be more specific here, otherwise, this discussion may take us to a lengthy journey and I am not a mining guru to pursue such a v
Digitalization is a very popular buzz word these days. So trendy that there is a risk to digitalize for the sake of digitalization.
How to avoid this pitfall? When it is a must and when is it just a nice to have gadget? Should we go for a cloud? Make infrastructure serverless and use SOA with micro services? Where should we employ IoT, automation, Machine Learning, AI, blockchain or BigData?
One of the Gurus of the IT world came up with the Rule of Three that says: Use only 3 new technologies
The mining industry consumes billions of liters of diesel and heavy fuel annually. Fuel and power are two of the biggest input costs and for remote mines, unreliable power grids and long distances from major ports or fuel refineries can be a logistical nightmare.
As the costs of renewable are already competitive with coal fired power stations,we need to ask how mining, as a sustainable industry and as the commodity supplier to the growing electric vehicle industry can make a difference in reducin
No industry is altogether free from uncertainty, but mining professionals are challenged with a unique set of concerns. Some of these are related to growing pains of the past. Some are linked to radical projections for the future. The industry itself is composed of organisations, teams, and individuals who feel pressure points in different ways. If we intend to make our industry as productive and efficient as it ought to be, smarter technical decisions are only half the battle. We need to under
