Decarbonisation and Digitalisation – Keeping Australian Mining best of class! By: Rafael Koenig, Managing Director of Weidmueller Australia
The mining sector is in the middle of a massive transformation process. In 2020 Lars Barnewold and Bernd G. Lottermoser from RWTH Aachen University pointed out in the International Journal of Mining Science and Technology that the implementation of digital innovations, and various terms have proliferated in the media, the internet and at conferences, describing these technological
advances and associated imminent changes. Decarbonisation and climate change mitigation in mining are further objectives that gain more and more relevance. In this context, Rafael goes into depth on how our industry has a big role to play in protecting our climate and our economic livelihood through the big trends like “decarbonisation”, “fourth industrial revolution”, “smart mining”, or “mining 4.0”.1
