With summer vacation just around the corner, I'm sure you're all excited about planning trips and not able to concentrate on work. I'm also busy thinking about what kind of sweets I should make... and as I write this article, summer vacation has already begun (lol).

Mining Processes and Solutions

Today, I would like to focus on the mining industry. There are currently solutions proposed for various work processes in the mining industry, but I would like to introduce what will happen when Dynamics CRM is introduced into these processes.
The main work processes include the following:
・Exploratory drilling and mineral surveys
·mining
・Return to natural state

What kind of work specifically?

Prospecting and mineral surveys

Prospecting and mineral surveys involve obtaining samples from strata that are likely to contain mineral deposits, determining how much reserves can be expected, and how much it will cost to restore the area to its original state after mining is complete, in order to determine whether or not to actually begin mining.
Here, a solution was proposed to analyze the strata using various radars and equipment without actually sampling the strata, and it even suggested how to perform excavation by creating a 3D representation of the strata.

mining

Mining is the process of excavating strata and collecting mineral resources based on a plan determined during the exploratory drilling and mineral surveying process. There are two types of excavation techniques: open-cut and underground mining, with surface mining producing more. Mining targets are broadly divided into two types: alluvial deposits, which refer to mineral-containing gravel layers or other unconsolidated alluvial deposits that contain useful minerals, and vein deposits, where the minerals are found in the strata in the form of veins and contained within hard rock. Both alluvial and vein deposits can be mined open-cut or underground.
Here, a solution was proposed for managing mining equipment and personnel, and a solution was proposed for comprehensively managing mining equipment consumables, personnel deployment, and mining planning.

Return to natural state

Returning to a natural state refers to the process of returning a mining site to its original state when resources can no longer be extracted from it. Resource extraction in the mining industry involves purifying any harmful substances that are released during mining and returning the site to its original natural state.
Here, there was a solution for managing unwanted soil and hazardous materials generated during mining.

So far, we have investigated and introduced the solutions that have emerged for the main work processes in the mining industry.
I think you can see that it's not just about digging, but also about being environmentally friendly, which is a wonderful industry. Also, various solutions were introduced for each work process...
