One of the issues for remote mining locations is the difficulty in recruiting professional personnel, and the services of highly experienced personnel in specific disciplines are not always required full-time. Travel restrictions such as recently have been experienced increase the requirements for remote co-operation with Cloud based data.
A possible solution is the use of on-demand experienced off-site personnel for (discontinuous) assistance in combination with recent developments in technology. In short, Remote Mining Assistance (RMA).
In this presentation, I would like to cover the current enablers for RMA, the advantages, the requirements for implementation, possible issues to be addressed and some examples of solutions which have recently been implemented.
The creative implementation of RMA can be beneficial for any size mine or company, and by applying a well-managed, staged approach to the digital transformation, most issues can be avoided.
