The era of Mining 4.0 has begun, and it means profound change for the Australian mining industry. Driving this transformation is an optimism and acknowledgement that we need to do better – because the world needs more mining to support the energy transition and a carbon-neutral future – and Australia is a major contributor to those resources. History shows that Australian miners can be both adaptive and innovative, qualities that will serve them well as they develop their Mining 4.0 strategies and goals. As this paper has illustrated, open, standards-based, industrial internet technology platforms are fundamental to modern mine operations as they enable the visibility and integration that Mining 4.0 demands. But more importantly, people must be at the centre of a Mining 4.0 vision. Interoperability is underscored by collaboration. Whether it is a greenfield or established mine, there must be connectivity amongst people to integrate operations and ensure mines are safer, efficient and commercially viable.
