Smart Mines

 

The mining industry is relying more and more on technology to operate safe and effective mine sites. Traditional mines are quickly transforming into Smart Mines that use information, autonomy, and technology to enhance safety, reduce operational costs, keep better track of employees and equipment, improve maintenance and boost productivity.

It’s easy to see the benefits of adopting new technologies to run efficient mine sites. However, innovation also means new challenges. One of the main challenges is that Smart Mines produce a lot of data 24/7 that needs to be stored and processed locally.

Challenges of the Edge

 

Edge computing allows for fast and secure processing with no latency - this is a crucial requirement for the smooth running of Smart Mines, particularly for autonomous vehicles, as any delay in data processing will most likely cause accidents.

If you can’t afford to lose even a millisecond, the only solution is on-site data processing.

But traditional on-premise server rooms are time-consuming to plan and build and expensive to run and maintain, especially in remote locations with limited infrastructure and specialised personnel.

Precision cooling - the best way to keep your servers cool

Monitoring the temperature of your data centre is important to improve your servers' performance lifespan. Precision cooling creates the ideal environmental conditions for your servers.

Are greedy data centres using all the world's electricity?

Data centres around the world consume more annual energy than some small countries, with the need rising exponentially. What can we do about it?
