Digital and innovative mine of the future
The DINAMINE project aims at radically transforming and modernising the whole mining operation value chain by proposing solutions to move towards more selective, more efficient, and smarter mining to allow mining sites to increase their productivity, therefore bringing costs down, enhancing their safety, and significantly reducing their environmental footprint, with a specific focus on European SMEs.
DINAMINE will shift the current paradigm of mining management by developing and demonstrating a holistic mine management approach, based on (i) artificial intelligence-based data analytics tools that allows real-time mine-to-port monitoring of the risks, performance, environmental footprint, maintenance needs, product quality and recovery rates, (ii) machine automation and robotization strategies deployed and tested in actual operating conditions to enhance safety and productivity, (iii) on-site studies to identify best practices for carbon neutral logistics/transportation, more energy-efficient processing, and waste/tailings handling and valorisation.
Technologies developed will be upscaled and tested in 2 demonstration sites in Norway and Portugal and their associated processing plants.
