dc.description.abstract |
In this paper, the development of information technology is divided into three parts: 1975-
2000 (past), 2000-2025 (present), and beyond 2025 (future). During the last century,
mainframes were considered topmost in terms of processing power. However, with the
evolution of personal computers and laptops, computational power has increased in an
exponential manner, and at the same time cost of hardware has dropped substantially. Various
tech giants are famous for their specific products, such as Microsoft for their MS Office, Oracle
for databases, routers from CISCO, and SAP for ERP. In the mining industry, information
technology has always been used as a supportive role in various functions such as exploration,
drilling and blasting, production and quality monitoring, financial accounting, inventory
management, and dispatch of the minerals. The computer science department or information
technology department has become crucial to support all functions in geotechnical and mining
engineering. Various exploratory and mine planning software such as Surpac and Data Mine
are commonly used for exploration and short to long-term mine planning. With the increase
in processing power, even the mobile phone has become a powerful and essential device for
communication. With enhanced power of the camera and increased data storage, internet
connectivity, several useful applications are developed on mobile phones. Various OEMs have
their own software for monitoring mining equipment which has benefited mining companies.
In the future, artificial intelligence and machine learning models shall be applied in a
geotechnical mining operation to improve productivity, safety, and sustained mining
operation. |
