Project description
MINE.IO digitalisation solutions cover the entire mining value chain, from resource exploration, extraction, and processing, to waste management and post-mining activity. The central aim is to create a system architecture for usage on the "shop floor" of digital twin mining in a cloud environment. MINE.IO will create a cutting-edge cloud services infrastructure and a cutting-edge mining ecosystem that enables productivity and sustainability.
The University of Oulu through the Oulu Mining School Unit, will develop a multi-source geophysical data fusion for the surveillance of tailings embankment in a digitalised framework by designing automated workflows for geophysical data acquisition, modeling, and interpretation of the structural and hydrological conditions of tailings structures. The approach is tested in a pilot project at the Pyhäsalmi tailings facility in Finland, which is used as a case study.
The University of Oulu through the Kerttu Saalasti Institute / Regional Excellence (REx) research team, engages and coordinates with the mining operator, authorities, and stakeholders the necessary permits and logistics to carry out the demonstration on a field scale and in an industrial setting.
