What’s inside the report:
Miners are increasingly embracing digital twins, with Mining Magazine Intelligence data showing Anglo American, Newcrest and LKAB among the operators already using this exciting technology to analyse, predict and optimise the behaviour of complex physical assets from pit to port.
Uptake of digital twins will surely grow as miners understand the role the technology can play in helping them meet important safety, sustainability and productivity goals. The way the technology is used will also evolve. As Dr. Penny Stewart, chief executive of PETRA Data Science, said recently to Australia’s Mining Monthly, miners originally used digital twins to build models to simulate and predict what would happen in an operation, but are now increasingly looking to use them for data visualisation and continuous improvement.
More broadly, appetite for digital twin technology is growing across major industries and is expected to increase by 36% over the next five years, according to a new Capegemini study. We will be watching with excitement to see how digital twins are implemented in mine operations in the years to come. Download the full report and infographic below!

Hexagon sees Digital Twins fostering smarter automated mines.
In March 2023, Mining Magazine and Australia Mining Monthly conducted a research project among 50 global respondents from mining organisations of various sizes engaged in either underground or surface mining or both. The sample was pulled from respondents across Management levels in technical functions including Operations.
