Australia is a leader in mining automation, with half of the country’s mines expected to be fully automated by the end of this decade.

In this issue, we look at use cases for drones, robots and autonomous vehicles in the mining industry, as well as the path to widespread adoption.

We also explore the potential benefits of cloud-based fleet management systems and how the mining sector can address the two key implementation challenges: connectivity and integration.

GlobalData also offers insight into the rise of robotic dogs to support emergency response, including in the mining sector.

In commodities, we delve into the regulatory environment for uranium mining in Australia, where there is a myriad of state-level restrictions.

Lastly, we examine the nation’s efforts to bolster green aluminium production, amid calls for more supportive government policies and financial incentives.
