Real-Time Mining: Real-Time optimization of the extraction and the logistics process in highly complex geological and selective mining settings

Completed
About

The overall aim of Real-Time-Mining is to develop a real-time framework to decrease environmental impact and increase resource efficiency in the European raw material extraction industry.

The key concept of the research conducted is to promote a paradigm shift from discontinuous to a continuous process monitoring and quality management system in highly selective mining operations.

The positive impact of the project will be achieved through improvements in process efficiency and resource utilization. These will increase energy efficiency and facilitate significant improvements in the environmental performance of mining operations by reducing the emissions and wastes generated. It is considered that deposits which are currently thought as economically marginal or difficult to access could become viable.

This project has been awarded funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation Programme under Grant Agreement No 641989
