Mining Update 03/21

ABB Ability™ eMine. For your world, and mine.   Did you know that if every truck in every mine were electrified, we could remove 198,000 tons of CO2 every day from the air we breathe? ABB Ability™ eMine makes the all-electric mine possible. By fully integrating electrification and digital systems from the mine to the port, eMine™ significantly reduces your environmental impact, lowers costs and raises productivity. Together, we can build the mine of tomorrow. A mine that’s great for your business. And even better for the world around it.   GET STARTED

Ensuring we’re together in electric dreams   Mine operators have long been aware of the challenges of integrating digitalization and electrification at their sites. Together with their supply chains, original equipment manufacturers and technology developers, they are beginning to recognize the practical steps that can be taken now to turn electric dreams into reality for the benefit of operations, people and the wider world, explain ABB’s Global Head of Mining, Max Luedtke and Mehrzad Ashnagaran, Global Product Line Manager, Electrification and Composite Plant at ABB.   READ MORE

eMine™ means all working together.   The time to change is now. But the mining industry is clear that when it comes to electrification, nobody can make it alone. Partnerships and co-creation of solutions with OEMs, other mining companies and governments are needed to successfully integrate electrification in mines. We are working with OEMs to fast-track the development of new emissions-reducing systems with electrification and automation of the whole mining operation the goal.
