Jakobs, André
- Abstract
Mining, like other branches of industry, has experienced the fourth industrial revolution in recent years. The transformation process from mechanized to automated raw material extraction has begun worldwide. Despite major initial challenges, some early adopters are already benefiting from the great potential of digitization and automation in mining and are one step ahead of their competition. Companies that do not follow this trend will find it difficult in the long run to keep up economically with the pioneers of this future technology.
