other senior government officials. • Leadership teams from PSUs such as NLCIL, GMDC, and Hindustan Copper Ltd to study the system for replicating in their respective industries. Chapter 4: WAY FORWARD 4.1) Exploration of application & use cases for 5G Network infrastructure with 5G Captive NonPublic Network (CNPN): 1. 5G Mission Critical Communication (MCX) System for OCMs with a facility to contact Mobiles with Video / Audio calling & SMS 2. 5G Enabled Remote Drone Operations for Digital Mine Mapping 3. 5G Camera with AI enabled Video Analytics 4. 5G IOT Machinery Sensors for knowing Fuel status, Speed & Utilization 5. 5G Enabled Automated Drilling Operations 6. AI enabled Traffic Control System 7. 5G Enabled Slope Stability Radar System (ability to miniaturize design) 8. AR with 5G enabled remote maintenance support. 9. 5G C-V2X based Collision Avoidance System for Dumpers 10. Digital Twin of Load Haul Dumper operations The implementation of the field Grade 5G CNPN will boost safety, productivity & efficiency and pave the path for autonomous mining operations. 4.2) Implementation of project Digital mining: an initiative towards modernization & digitalization with the goal to make coal mining and associated processes more efficient, transparent and data driven. It is a larger push towards adoption of Industry 4.0 technologies such as AI, IIOT, Drones etc. Digital technologies and tools used under Digital mining include: • Drones for accurate surveying, mapping, and planning of mines. • AI and machine learning (like drill & blast design optimization) to improve mining productivity. • IoT-based systems for fleet monitoring — helps track equipment usage, performance, and availability. • Digital land record systems to manage land acquisition and reduce manual paperwork. • Preventive asset maintenance via digital monitoring to reduce breakdowns and downtime. • A Digital War-Room and sometimes a Digital Command & Control Centre to monitor operations centrally.
