Description

  1. Autonomous Mining: From Pilot to Digital Mine  

  • How Teck Resources scaled autonomous haulage from a pilot to a fleet of 87 trucks at Highland Valley Copper Mine. 

  • The digital infrastructure required for large-scale autonomy, including connectivity, IoT sensors, and fleet platforms such as FrontRunner Autonomous Haulage System. 

  • How real-time data and analytics improve dispatching, haul routes, equipment utilization, and overall mine productivity. 

  • Workforce transformation as operations shift from truck drivers to digital fleet monitoring and control. 

  • Key lessons from moving beyond pilots to scalable digital and AI-enabled mining operations. 

  1. Scaling Digital Transformation Across Multi-Site Gold Mining Operations 

  • Building a connected digital ecosystem across exploration, mining, and processing operations 

  • Leveraging data platforms, automation, and advanced analytics to improve operational visibility and decision-making 

  • Integrating safety, production, and asset performance data to drive real-time operational improvements 

  • Lessons learned from deploying digital technologies across large, geographically distributed mining assets

  1. Thar Digital Journey: A Journey of AI, OT, and Human Impact.  

  • Indestructible Infrastructure: Engineered a "Zero-Downtime" digital nerve center featuring Dual Fiber networks and Hyper-Converged Infrastructure (HCI) capable of maintaining 24/7 operations in extreme 50c desert heat. 

  • Radical IT/OT Convergence: Integrated autonomous weighbridges and predictive Mining Radar directly into the SAP core, transforming raw field telemetry into real-time financial and operational intelligence. 

  • AI-Driven Safety & Strategy: Deployed Microsoft Copilot and AI fatigue monitoring to shift the workforce from manual data entry to strategic analytics while ensuring "zero-harm" safety standards.  

  • Social Impact via Digital Supply Chains: Leveraged SAP Ariba to digitize procurement and mandate local business participation, transforming technology into an engine for community empowerment and ESG-led growth.
