Technology
MASTERMINE will focus on an Industrial Metaverse (IM) approach aiming to build a digitalized copy of a real-world mine as an entry point to provide a fully connected mine of the future. Together with the process related executable Digital Twins (DT), the IM approach will be supported by an integrated Asset and Resources Management platform.

MASTERMINE consists of six high-level modules
They address real industrial challenges towards the digitisation, environmental sustainability, productivity monitoring and public acceptance of the European mines.
cybermine
CYBERMINE is the access point to the physical world managing the field data for all components, which in turn will have access to them through the cloud and the METAMINE. The goal is to connect the physical with the digital world through technologies like IIoT, the cloud, edge computing and machine learning ensuring the smart mine design and predictive maintenance of equipment and vehicles.
metamine
The concept of the mining metaverse is a totally innovative approach that will become a paradigm for all industries. METAMINE is in the middle of the MASTERMINE platform orchestrating the operations of the other components of the project. All individual components will be modelled and integrated in the metaverse through online apps, executable digital twins and business intelligence to provide simulation and decision support to the user.
geomine
GEOMINE is the backbone of mine safety using multiplatform monitoring and optimal mine design and all state-of-the-art technologies to eliminate instabilities in critical structures, like tailing dams, waste dumps, slopes, tunnels, etc.
automine
AUTOMINE introduces the retrofitting of multi-OEM vehicles and equipment to become autonomous and electric along with smart monitoring and maintenance. This gives a massive boost in the environmental footprint of the mine, the air quality and safety in the underground mines and minimises the cost for ventilation.
greenmine
GREENMINE addresses waste and water management, through raw material and water recovery from wastewater and ore sorting during magnesite ore processing, monitors air quality (e.g. intelligent methane drainage system for coking coal mines) and introduces solutions for energy and load optimisation.
ourmine
Through the OURMINE module, the goal is to connect the mining industry with the surrounding community, building smart applications for open communication and data-driven social innovation. Blockchain technology will be used to improve the trust throughout the mining value chain.
