The industry is changing for the better
Mining is taking a new path, where safety and sustainability are dominating the narrative. The industry as a whole is working toward a redefined purpose to steward resources and make the world a better place for all.
Safety
Priorities are to protect the workforce and community lives, secure livelihoods and the environment, and safeguard assets with cyber security
Sustainability
Climate change is driving the energy transition—reduced water consumption and greenhouse gas emissions—and the circular economy
Operational excellence
Achieve productivity and margin improvements by leveraging data, analytics and integrated autonomous operations
Workforce
Changing demographics and human + machine = new ways of learning, working and, ultimately, increasing performance
Stakeholders
All stakeholders are considered equal, with a marked increase in responsible investors and a focus on environment, social and governance (ESG) factors
Customers
83% of consumers believe it’s important or extremely important for companies to design products that are meant to be reused or recycled*
Let’s push for intelligence everywhere
The value of a connected mine lies in digging deep into the wealth of data available across the entire value chain to provide integrated, end-to-end situational awareness and systemic management.
Connecting people, equipment, data and insights across mine, plant, rail and ports, our solutions harness advanced digital technologies—such as data science and machine learning, data engineering and artificial intelligence architecture—for intelligent asset management. Operators gain a whole new world of intelligence and predictive insights to enable faster, smarter decision making for better outcomes.
By monitoring everything from road conditions and truck performance to specific equipment productivity and worker fatigue, the Accenture Connected Mine solution provides accurate operational insights to those who need it, when it matters. This creates the capability to make data-driven, value- and risk-based decisions.
That means intelligent operations are safer, sustainable and more efficient.

What we think
Autonomous operations can improve safety, efficiency and productivity – and create more responsible, sustainable mining.
Can your enterprise survive the “tech-clash”?
New business models are putting pressure on metals and mining companies to adapt fast, embrace change and stay relevant.
Case studies
A global mining contractor used analytics and the Internet of Things (IoT) to increase mine-site efficiency, cut costs and improve operations.
See how we helped Goldcorp digitize their mines with real-time data to improve safety and operations.
