Abstract

Increasing automation and development towards autonomous systems are major trends in underground mining. By successfully applying automation, the efficiency of operations can be increased, and safety risks reduced. To enable increasingly flexible automated operations, fast and reliable connectivity is required. To address these needs, 5G networks are being developed in the mining sector. While 5G-enabled automated systems can improve safety, they also introduce new risks that need to be addressed in system development. In this paper, we present a brief overview of the implications of 5G in the underground mining sector. Additionally, we review selected safety requirements and standards relevant for development 5G-enabled automated mining. As a result, we present a structure of safety requirements that need to be considered when developing such systems.
