Mining IQ conference receives seal of approval
The sixth Mining IQ Mine Site Automation and Communication conference has received the official seal of approval from the Official Mine Site Automation and Communication Advisory Board.
The three-day event, held at Perth’s Burswood Entertainment Complex from 28 August, will focus on driving productivity by transitioning from isolated automated machinery to creating autonomous operations.
The conference will feature case studies from Australia’s top mining companies such as Rio Tinto, Barrick Australia, GHD, Macmahon Contractors, Hatch and Crosslands Resources. Leading OEM Sandvik has also confirmed it will present at the conference.
The board has reviewed the topic areas to ensure the event is highly relevant for those working in mine site automation. The board includes: Jason Nitz, Mining Systems Strategist at Newcrest Mining; Vivek Ganesh, head of Process Control and Automation at Vale; and John Massey, Engineering Executive at Parsons Brinckerhoff.
Presentations will include:
- Successful implementation of unmanned systems in the mining environment
- The interaction of humans and machines: keeping the semiautomated mine safe
- Functional safety and the lessons learned in regards to automations
- Ensuring communication systems are reliable and available to optimise mine productivity
