An expert industry professional gives an overview of the latest technology in the mining industry.
Innovative mining technology employs location awareness, machine learning, robotics, and other technologies that will allow mining companies to automate many of their processes and shift semi-autonomous operations to fully autonomous. This will not only reduce costs but also increase safety.
With the objective of giving an overview of these innovations, the Department of Electrical Engineering organised a seminar on ‘Innovations in Mining Technology’. Bibhas Kumar Mukherjee, Retired Chief Manager, BCCL, interacted with the students regarding mining technology. He started by explaining the various sources of coal and their availability, and followed up to the modern mining trends.
