  • Digital Maturity Survey for the Mining Industry
This survey measures your company’s ability to integrate Equipment Maintenance, Geological Data Integration, and Cost/Safety Management. (Scoring for Response Options: 1 = Never/Manual, 5 = Fully/Integrated)
This section measures the integration of mine planning with geological data and the tracking of production.
A1. Is geological modeling (Mining Software) data (grade, meterage, location) automatically integrated into short term production planning?
A2. Are the actual excavation/extraction meterage and yield data collected from the field compared in real time with the estimated production targets?
A3. Is the quality (grade/calorific value) of the shipped raw material (ore/coal) linked in the system to the relevant production lot and shipment record?
A4. Are the current locations and inventory volumes of material or ore stockpiles automatically reflected in the system through real time measurements (Drone/Lidar)?
A5. Are production, ore processing, and waste processes fully monitored for environmental impact (emissions, waste management) and compliance with legal limits?
This section measures the efficiency and maintenance processes of mining equipment (trucks, excavators, conveyors).
B1. Is the probability of critical equipment failure predicted using real time sensor data (temperature, vibration), and is maintenance scheduled automatically?
B2. Are equipment breakdown or scheduled maintenance costs tracked throughout the asset's lifecycle and reflected in the next budget period?
B3. Can field technicians instantly view the stock status and location of the spare parts they need for maintenance/repair via their mobile devices?
B4. Are the fuel consumption and movement routes of equipment (e.g., trucks) in the field tracked in the system for efficiency analysis and cost control?
B5. Are failure codes and repair durations generated during maintenance operations systematically analyzed to improve future equipment procurement decisions?
This section measures safety, health, and regulatory compliance, which are the most critical issues in the mining industry.
C1. Are field safety violations, accidents, or near-miss events recorded instantly via mobile applications, and is a root cause analysis conducted?
C2. Are mandatory safety trainings and certifications for all workers tracked by the system, and is a worker with missing or expired certifications prevented from starting a work order?
C3. Is the inventory of hazardous materials (explosives, chemicals) in the mine site automatically controlled for compliance with legal storage and usage limits?
C4. Are project and production activities continuously audited according to current national and international mining and occupational health and safety (OHS) regulations?
C5. Are emergency plans, evacuation routes, and assembly points managed digitally on the site map and shared with teams in real time?
