As tendências tecnológicas e de inovação para mineração, gêmeo digital: uma revisão bibliográfica

Abstract

The global dynamics make mining a strategic segment for many countries, however, it is a sector that faces numerous challenges. Therefore, the search for technological innovation is essential, thus, mining bets on Digital Twin (DT), or Digital Twin, as a path to follow, because this technology allows monitoring and minimizing the variability of processes arising from climate, geology of the ore body and equipment performance. This paper aimed to present the applicability and concepts related to Digital Twin technology in mining through an exploratory literature review. Exploratory research was conducted in the central databases, scientific journals, and scientific articles between 2015 and 2023, and experiences of DT application of some multinational companies were selected. A small ratio of published bibliographies was observed on the theme Digital Twin x Mining in Brazil. However, growth of the theme is observed, due to the benefits of its use for the optimization of several areas of the mineral sector.
