How Automation Is Revolutionizing The Construction And Mining Industry

The construction and mining industries have long been synonymous with being ‘behind the times,’ but the truth of the matter is very different. Nowadays, these industries are often the first to adopt new technologies in order to more efficiently streamline everyday processes and create safer, more eco-friendly ways of working. One technology currently being integrated within mining and construction is automation. From driverless vehicles, to automated jaw crushers, the industry could see a profound change shortly, but what has automation done for us so far? What Do We Mean By Automation? While the idea of automated technology isn’t anything new, understanding just what it is and how it could help us in the future is the first step to adopting these technologies in the future. Automation is the name given to a technology that “allows a process or procedure to be performed without human assistance.” Essentially, this means that if a process can take place without the need for any control by a human and all actions are automatic, it is automated. Intelligent and automated technologies are quickly becoming commonplace in the digital world, but for construction and mining, it is just the beginning
