A human-centred Internet of Things platform for the sustainable digital mine of the future
Program: H2020
Part number:869529
Contract signing date: 04/20/2020
Execution date: 01/05/2020-30/04/2024
This project was created in response to the fifth of the seven societal challenges defined in the Horizon 2020 program [1]:
Societal Challenge 5: Climate Action, Environment, Resource Efficiency and Raw Materials
The European Union has launched a series of activities around this challenge that will help increase European competitiveness, raw material security and improve welfare. At the same time, they will ensure environmental integrity, resilience and sustainability with the goal of keeping average global warming below 2°C and enabling ecosystems and society to adapt to climate change and other environmental changes.
In particular, the Dig_IT project is part of the Research and Innovation Action “New solutions for the sustainable production of raw materials”.
The objective of the project is to digitize the mining industry’s processes and operations in order to make it safer (people), more efficient (resources) and more sustainable (environment). To this end, an industrial Internet of Things (IIoTp) platform will be implemented to collect data and transform it into knowledge and actions aimed at improving the safety of workers in this industry, as well as minimizing the impact of mining on the environment.
