VTT, Sandvik and Nokia partner for safe autonomous underground mining supported by 5G and edge intelligence
The project developed an R&D process to achieve common long-term goals, experimental system architectures, iterative development of the prototype systems and evaluation trials
“Underground mining environment is unique and complex. To deeper understand what affects safety, reliability and performance of the prototype systems developed in the project, Sandvik offered its state-of-the-art Test Mine facilities in Tampere to be used as test bed for NGMining technology trials and demonstrations. We provided real-life mining use cases where the prototype could be deployed and tested. On top of solving technical aspect set forth in NG Mining, it was also great to develop and learn new ways of working with project partners!”
