WHERE DO MINING FIRMS LAND ON THE INDUSTRY 4.0 MATURITY INDEX?

Industry 4.0 encompasses optimizing equipment, operations, workflows, and staff capabilities, while also operating in a safe and sustainable manner. To achieve these objectives, mining firms must deploy a mix of hardware, software, and connectivity solutions that complement one another. But to maximize the benefits requires alignment between those with responsibility for delivering Information Technology (IT)-based solutions to the organization and those with responsibility for Operational Technology (OT) that support use cases such as digitizing workflows.
