Special Topic ‘Digitisation and Monitoring for Process Optimisation and Efficiency’
Read all about key inter-branch themes for 2021 in GeoResources Journal, with digitisation being the chosen topic for this latest issue. Digitisation is not only vital for tackling the huge challenges that confront today’s society – it can also provide the answer to many of the problems arising in areas such as geotechnics, tunnelling, mining and equipment.

Continental Conveyor Belts for Flood Protection Project in Tokyo
Pouch conveyor belts made by technology company Continental are being used in a flood prevention project in Japan’s capital Tokyo. The conveyor belt reduces noise pollution, dust emissions and traffic volumes in the construction of an underground catch basin for 150,000 m³ of water in Machida, Tokyo.

Automatic Train Operation on conventional Rail Tracks
The Swiss authors of this article have used their professional know-how to develop a concept for automatic train travel on existing rail tracks presenting simple operating conditions. The initiative group has been set up to help with the practical implementation of their idea. They wish to demonstrate the feasibility of the technology and with this in mind are seeking project partners for further trials.

Data-driven Performance Metrics are improving the Efficiency of Mining Machines
The ongoing development of sensor and actuator technology opens up huge opportunities for manufacturers and users of underground mining machines. The acquisition and analysis of sensor data contributes to the process optimisation of mining operations and also helps improve machine production methods, which in turn offers a significant potential for cutting costs. This paper explains the possibilities and particular challenges arising in a number of areas, including data mining processes, manual rule-based modelling, data architecture, data visualisation, statistical analysis and machine learning (ML). Case studies of drum shearer loaders and continuous miners produced by the Eickhoff Group are used to illustrate the knowledge gain and the opportunities now arising in this context.

Using CO2 for Hydrocarbon Production with 'green' Hydrogen Fuel for Mining Vehicles operating in Remote Locations
Based on the example of a technology initiative being proposed in Chile this article uses schematic information to explain how carbon dioxide obtained from copper production can be processed using electricity from renewable energy sources, such as solar power, to produce liquid fuels that can be used to drive heavy trucks operating in open-pit mines.
