ARC Mining

Mining is one of ARC's key areas of application and societal challenges, with links to research in AI, robotics and cybersecurity.
Mining
The mining industry plays a vital role in supplying the raw materials necessary for modern industry and technology.
Sweden, with its abundant mineral resources and long-standing mining tradition, continues to be a major player in the field of sustainable and innovative mining. Concurrently, the sector faces significant challenges, including environmental sustainability, occupational safety, and improving efficiency in mineral extraction and processing. To meet these challenges, the integration of AI, robotics, and cybersecurity is imperative.
ARC
Mining aligns with ARC's mission by leveraging innovative technology to enhance safety, efficiency, and sustainability in the mining sector. This initiative also facilitates the development of practical solutions to real societal challenges.
Mining research is crucial for developing intelligent and safe systems that benefit both industry and society. These systems use AI-based analysis, predictive maintenance, robotics for remote-controlled and autonomous tasks, and cybersecurity for digital infrastructure.
Tomorrow
AI analysis can enhance exploration and maintenance, robotics can enable remote control and automation, and cybersecurity is crucial for protecting digital infrastructure in an industry that is becoming increasingly connected.
By highlighting the importance of the mining industry to ARC, the centre can encourage various types of researchers to collaborate. This will help them connect ideas from different areas and create new solutions for the mining industry in the future.
