Key Emerging Areas of Innovation in Mining

Mining companies are developing novel technologies and equipment to ensure the health and safety of miners, reduce carbon footprint, and increase efficiency and productivity. Some of the key emerging areas of innovation in the mining sector are hydraulic mining conveyors, tunnel ventilation systems, mining inspection robots, and tunnel safety devices.

Hydraulic Mining Conveyors: Hydraulic mining conveyors are machines used to transport materials from one location to another using hydraulic power. These conveyors use a system of pipes and water pressure to move the materials, allowing for efficient and high-volume transportation.

Tunnel Ventilation Systems: The tunnel ventilation system is a system designed to maintain safe air quality both inside and outside the tunnel to meet stringent air quality standards.

Mining Inspection Robots: A mining inspection robot is a type of robot that is designed to navigate and inspect underground mining environments. These are equipped with sensors and cameras to collect data and analyze on the mining site.

Tunnel Safety Devices: Tunnel safety devices are systems designed to detect, mitigate, and respond to various types of hazards that may occur in tunnels, such as fires, smoke, flooding, or accidents.

Key Accelerating Areas of Innovation in Mining

Some of the key accelerating areas of innovation in the mining sector are alkaline metal recycling, remote tunnel monitoring systems, tunnel rescue/safety devices, and tunnel lining construction devices.

Alkaline Metal Recycling: Recycling alkaline metals such as Lithium, Potassium, Caesium, etc. involves electrolysis of their fused chloride forms. This is due to the highly reactive nature of alkali metals.

Remote Tunnel Monitoring Systems: Underground tunnel monitoring systems deploy a network of sensors over proprietary communication networks to provide critical information such as the structural and geotechnical behavior of a tunnel and underground conditions, among others.

Tunnel Rescue/Safety Devices: Tunnel rescue and safety systems help to rescue people inside a tunnel and to maintain air quality and control the spread of smoke in case of fire or a disaster.

Tunnel Lining Construction Devices: Tunnel linings are the support system of a tunnel or shaft. Tunnel lining can be temporary, primary, or permanent, and is constructed from steel and concrete in many forms.

Key Maturing Areas of Innovation in Mining

Some of the key maturing areas of innovation in the mining sector are mine sensor network, mineral slitting machines, mine backfilling, and robotic coal mining.

Mine Sensor Network: Mine sensor network is a network of connected sensors to monitor mines and enhance operational safety and efficiency and optimize productivity.

Mineral Slitting Machines: A slitter machine (commonly referred to as a slitter rewinder) is a special type of equipment used to convert/slit many different materials so they can be cut down into narrower rolls.

Mine Backfilling: Backfilling is used to dispose of sludge and/ or tailings which may contain hazardous materials and to reduce surface environmental impacts by storing tailings underground.

Robotic Coal Mining: Robotic coal mining refers to fully autonomous mining systems that result in the most productivity gains as software controls one or more mining vehicles allowing operators to take on the role of mining facilitators, troubleshooting errors and monitoring efficiency.

The highly detailed project intelligence and forecast reports can be utilised across multiple departments and workflow scopes, from operational to strategic level, and often support strategic decisions. GlobalData Analytics and visualisation solutions has contributed positively when preparing management presentations and strategic papers.”

 Business Intelligence & Marketing Manager, SAL Heavy Lift

“COVID-19 has caused significant interference to our business and the COVID-19 intelligence from GlobalData has helped us reach better decisions around strategy. These two highlights have helped enormously to understand the projections into the future concerning our business units, we also utilise the project database to source new projects for Liebherr-Werk to use as an additional source to pitch for new business.”

 Market Analyst & Management, Liebherr-Werk

Your daily news has saved me a lot of time and keeps me up-to-date with what is happening in the market, I like that you almost always have a link to the source origin. We also use your market data in our Strategic Business Process to support our business decisions. By having everything in one place on the Intelligence Center it has saved me a lot of time versus looking on different sources, the alert function also helps with this.

 Head of Key Accounts, Saab AB

Having used several other market research companies, I find that GlobalData manages to provide that ‘difficult-to-get’ market data that others can’t, as well as very diverse and complete consumer surveys.

 Marketing Intelligence Manager, Portugal Foods

Our experience with GlobalData has been very good, from the platform itself to the people. I find that the analysts and the account team have a high level of customer focus and responsiveness and therefore I can always rely on. The platform is more holistic than other providers. It is convenient and almost like a one stop shop. The pricing suite is highly competitive and value for our organisation.

I like reports that inform new segments such as the analysis on generation Z, millennials, the impact of COVID 19 to our banking customers and their new channel habits. Secondly the specialist insight on affluent sector significantly increases our understanding about this group of customers. The combination of those give us depth and breadth of the evolving market.

I’m in the business of answering and helping people make decisions so with the intelligence center I can do that, effectively and efficiently. I can share quickly key insights that answer and satisfy our country stakeholders by giving them many quality studies and primary research about competitive landscape beyond the outlook of our bank. It helps me be seen as an advisory partner and that makes a big difference. A big benefit of our subscription is that no one holds the whole data and because it allows so many people, so many different parts of our organisation have access, it enables all teams to have the same level of knowledge and decision support.

 Head of Customer Insight and Research, Standard Chartered

“I know that I can always rely on Globaldata’s work when I’m searching for the right consumer and market insights. I use Globaldata insights to understand the changing market & consumer landscape and help create better taste & wellbeing solutions for our customers in food, beverage and healthcare industries.

Globaldata has the right data and the reports are of very high quality compared to your competitors. Globaldata not only has overall market sizes & consumer insights on food & beverages but also provides insights at the ingredient & flavour level. That is key for B2B companies like Givaudan. This way we understand our customers’ business and also gain insight to our unique industry”

 Head of Consumer Sensory Insights, Givaudan

GlobalData provides a great range of information and reports on various sectors that is highly relevant, timely, easy to access and utilise.  The reports and data dashboards help engagement with clients; they provide valuable industry and market insights that can enrich client conversations and can help in the shaping of value propositions. Moreover, using GlobalData products has helped increase my knowledge of the finance sector, the players within it, and the general threats and opportunities.

I find the consumer surveys that are carried out to be extremely beneficial and not something I have seen anywhere else. They provided an insightful view of why and which consumers take (or don’t) particular financial products. This can help shape conversations with clients to ensure they make the right strategic decisions for their business.

One of the challenges I have found is that data in the payments space is often piecemeal. With GD all of the data I need is in one place, but it also comes with additional market reports that provide useful extra context and information. Having the ability to set-up alerts on relevant movements in the industry, be it competitors or customers, and have them emailed directly to me, ensures I get early sight of industry activity and don’t have to search for news.

 Senior Account Manager, TSYS
