The speakers of this conference mentioned the three challenges facing the country in the digital transformation of the mining sector as “development of new infrastructures”, “development of databases” and “Educational development and technology promotion”.
Ebrahim Jamili (Chairman of the Mines and Mining Industries Commission of Iran Chamber) was one of the speakers of this conference. He considered the industrial intelligence along with social responsibility as the fields in which the chamber is engaged to create a culture.
The head of the Iranian Chamber of Mines and Mining Industries Commission pointed to four important sectors of smart mining, which include: robotics, automation, data collection, augmented reality, and 3D printing.
