Researcher, PhD in Physics and Director of multidisciplinary
technology projects at the Center for Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (CEDENNA) Dr.
Álvaro Espejo Piña gave an interesting talk on “IoT Technology Solutions
for Mining” at Universidad Finis Terrae.
At the activity, our researcher explained how the Internet of Things
(IoT) can be effectively integrated into the mining industry, contributing to the
optimization of its processes. In this context, he shared his experience in the
development of sensors for mining machinery, focused on remote monitoring
and improving operational efficiency.
A concrete example presented during the session was the application of IoT in
mining, where communication between devices and the cloud, as well as between the
devices themselves, forms a collective network that impacts both everyday life
and the workplace. Although IoT is usually associated mainly with
smart homes, its application in the mining industry promises to revolutionize
processes and improve workers’ quality of life.
The session ended with a question-and-answer period, in which
participants had the opportunity to delve into the technical details and
explore future possibilities for integrating IoT into the mining world.
