Atlas Copco : to coordinate EU initiative for Sustainable Intelligent Mining Systems

The SIMS consortium is working to not only support economic growth, but also positively change the perception of the mining industry as a whole. With innovative solutions that focus on safe, efficient and ecologically-sound mining, SIMS members will demonstrate that sustainable practices are not only desirable, but essential to the transformation of profitable mining operations. Each SIMS consortium partner will demonstrate their new advancements in working mines located around Europe. Technology demonstrated will include: Ericsson's 5G communication, ABB's 800xA process control, Mobilaris' underground positioning system, and Atlas Copco's battery-power and automation technology for mining. Atlas Copco is proud to take a crucial role in the advancement of the state-of-the-art innovation being developed by all the SIMS partners. 'SIMS is a fantastic opportunity and we look forward to working closely with our established partners to further innovation and safety within the mining industry,' says Morgan Rody, Atlas Copco's Project Manager for SIMS. To further advance progress in sustainable mining, the work of the SIMS consortium will be well documented, and the data will be shared with stakeholders in the European and global mining industry. The results are sure to demonstrate how innovators from the EU are making the future of global mining possible.
