8:00 am: Collaboration driving industry innovation
Andrew Scott, GMG Ambassador & Lead Robotics and Automation, Prominent Hill, BHP | 8:00 am: Welcome & Day 2 objectives |
8:30 am: Panel: Safety applications
What are the requirements to consider before choosing a safety application? How do companies handle the requirements for ensuring their effective use and deployment? What are the shortfalls, challenges, thought process for selection, and more? Benefit from the experience of others who’ve built such systems or who’ve gone through the process of implementing them. | 8:15 am: Operationalizing net zero

9:15 am: Update on collision prevention systems
Dushendra Naidoo, Minerals Council | 8:45 am: Breakout: Energy management across the site
Breakout: Energy management across the site
Proper energy management can help with not only meeting net-zero goals, but also help to optimize the mine and make the implementation of new technologies more operationally efficient and cost-effective. Common challenges include high energy consumption, limited access to reliable and affordable clean energy, regulatory requirements, and limited technical knowledge. We’ll work together to map out how to address key challenges, considering not just the technical and economic aspects of energy management, but the social and environmental implications, making a more equitable transition to a sustainable future for all stakeholders.

10:15 am: Breakout: Practical implementation of a collision avoidance system
Collisions between humans, vehicles, and equipment are a major concern to everyone working on site. Innovative technologies exist and can help greatly reduce the risk of collisions. We’ll work together to identify the elements that need to be considered when planning to implement a collision avoidance system at your site. | 10:15 am: Panel: Energy management - what can be done now?
Looking at the different aspects of a mine, what can be done now to address key challenges related to energy management and decarbonization? How does the whole system connect? Let’s discuss areas where you can improve energy management practices and adopt new technologies and methods to achieve sustainability goals. |

12:45 pm: Breakout: The use of technology for safety
Let's work together to identify what you need to know, how to figure out what systems to choose, and the requirements for using technology to improve safety. | 12:30 pm: Panel: Don't let the bad guys stop your mine - Building cyber resiliency into your operations
Cyber criminals share knowledge and tools freely. Their attacks not only pose a financial and production risk, they also put our shared progress in safety and sustainability at risk. Hear what you can do to improve the cyber resiliency of your operations and prevent incidents that impact safety, environmental sustainability, or operational productivity.
