Mine-Site Technology Adoption Survey, 2023 Update


Summary

GlobalData's Mine-Site Technology Adoption Survey, 2023 Update” analyses the results of interviews with key personnel at 150 operating mines across the globe. The survey examines trends in uptake of 13 technologies at the mine site, spanning mine management software, predictive maintenance, drones, autonomous vehicles, collision avoidance, wearables, remote control vehicles and more. The report also identifies intentions to invest in the next two years, and compares results by region, mine type and company type.

'GlobalData’s latest mine-site technology adoption survey shows high levels of investment in areas such as mine planning and management software, mine communication and predictive maintenance, with increasing levels of investment in drones, collision avoidance and fatigue detection in recent years. Australia continues to be the most advanced in terms of its investment, but the gaps between the regions is smaller than in previous years.

Over the next two years a high share expect to invest in predictive maintenance for mobile equipment, while mine management software also rated more highly than in previous years. Separating majors and non-majors, the latter generally had higher expectations for investing across the range of technologies analyzed, in particular, software, communication systems, predictive maintenance and safety-related technology.

Variations across regions included a high share of mines in Australia expecting to invest more in predictive maintenance for mobile equipment, whilst collision avoidance featured frequently in the Americas and remote control equipment in Africa and Asia. Some 44% of respondents from Asia also expected to invest in battery/electric vehicles in the next two years.

Scope
  • The survey was conducted between February 2023 and April 2023, and included only operating mine sites.
  • Respondents included mine managers, general managers and mine-site IT managers, and interviews were conducted via the telephone or via surveys emailed to qualified individuals.
  • A total of 150 individual mines were interviewed, giving a confidence interval (margin of error) of 8% with a 95% confidence level.
  • Some 54% of responses were from surface-only mines; 29% from underground-only mines, and 17% from individuals where the mines had both surface and underground operations. Only one response was accepted per mine.
  • The split between majors and mid-tier miners or producing juniors was 67% to 33%, respectively.
Reasons to Buy
  • Assess the current adoption rates for each of 13 key technologies
  • Compare adoption by mine type, region and company type
  • Assess the potential for future investment by technology, both new investment and future investment.
  • Analyse potential investment rates by region, mine type and company type

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
