METHODOLOGY
The data for our analysis has been aggregated through a global research effort, using basic desktop resources combined with qualitative interviews with operators and suppliers wherever possible.
Each profile considers 11 categories: mine type, commodity, location, ownership, equipment, automation overview, commencement date, automation drivers, automation investment, operational personnel and next steps/outlook.
The numbers were crunched according to both number of automated units on site as well as brand. We are in the process of creating a cost index to provide a more accurate picture of the investment required according to both fixed costs and variable costs, such as purchasing new equipment or retrofitting existing fleets.
