Électrification

Poussé par la nécessité de réduire les émissions et le bruit, le marché des équipements lourds effectue une transition vers des systèmes de propulsion hybrides, électriques et même à hydrogène. Cette évolution a un impact sur toutes les étapes de la chaîne d'approvisionnement. Ces technologies nouvellement déployées dans le secteur des équipements lourds ont un impact important sur le processus d'ingénierie. Définir la conception d'une machine électrifiée la plus optimale est complexe et nécessite que les ingénieurs apprennent et fassent progresser leur expertise dans un nouveau domaine. Cette conception doit également permettre aux utilisateurs finaux dans le domaine de la construction, de l'agriculture ou de l'exploitation minière d'atteindre, voire, de dépasser les niveaux de performance habituels tout en garantissant que la machine respecte les normes plus strictes en matière de bruit et d'émissions de gaz à effet de serre.

Environmental, social and governance (ESG) gaining importance in mining engineering

The increasing demand for raw materials to drive the energy transition, combined with recent logistical challenges, have probably started a supercycle for the mining industry. During the coming years, mining will hardly keep up with demand, resulting in high prices for commodities. We cannot afford that this would impede global decarbonization. Also mining companies realize that they themselves could be among the first to suffer from climate change consequences like extreme temperatures, droughts, and floods. That inspires them to adopt environmental, social and governance (ESG) criteria as core part of their corporate strategy, further stimulated in that respect by investors, governments, and regulations.

Smart mining initiatives and autonomous mining are on the rise

These evolutions create a setting that fosters innovation in a sector that is generally more conservative because of its continuous focus on productivity and eliminating risk. The number of initiatives in the field of smart mining is growing, with mining sensors, mining robots, connected mining, IoT in mining, and autonomous haulage systems as typical examples. Many of such applications have demonstrated immediate and significant improvements in both productivity and safety. It helps, of course, that the digital technologies these capabilities require, have already matured in other industries and therefore entail less risk.

Faster design and delivery of smart mining equipment

Mining equipment OEMs must realize that as this innovation wave has taken flight, it can go very fast. In a smart mining setting, there is little room for intermediate forms. Applications such as connectivity and autonomous operation only make sense if all equipment can participate. OEMs must upgrade their fleet with such digital capabilities, while securing their daily business by timely delivery of mainstream mining equipment. With Siemens Digital Industries Software solutions, mining equipment OEMs can successfully navigate through this complex transition period. Our digital twin and digital thread approaches help manufacturers accelerate the design of any mining equipment type, from mainstream to advanced.
