INNOVATIVE DIGITAL SUSTAINABLE AGGREGATES SYSTEMS

Descrizione del progetto

Un’estrazione più verde grazie alla digitalizzazione delle operazioni

Quasi tutti i settori si basano sull’estrazione di metalli e minerali. L’industria estrattiva degli aggregati produce 3 miliardi di tonnellate all’anno in Europa. È anche la più grande delle industrie estrattive non energetiche. Il progetto DIGIECOQUARRY, finanziato dall’UE, svilupperà sistemi, tecnologie e processi per favorire la digitalizzazione e l’automazione delle operazioni di estrazione per renderle più sicure, sostenibili e competitive. In particolare, gli approcci di intelligenza artificiale (IA) saranno abbinati ai sistemi ciberfisici e all’Internet delle cose (IoT). Il prossimo passo sarà quello di testare questi sistemi in cinque cave dell’UE al fine di migliorare la salute e la sicurezza dei lavoratori. L’obiettivo generale è quello di aumentare in modo sostenibile la fornitura di minerali per l’industria edilizia.

Obiettivo

The European aggregates extractive industry is, by far, the biggest non-energy extractive industries in the EU (Eurostat 2017): 26000 estimated extraction sites: 81,26% of the total EU mining and quarrying sites, 3000 million ton extracted and supplied to the EU internal market, ~ 220000 persons directly employed. Hence the EU faces the need of sustainable and competitive future for European Raw Materials specially in the construction sector due to a greater anticipated demand for products linked to human well-being, health, safety and sustainability. DIGIECOQUARRY will exploit the aggregates industry´s great potential through a coordinated approach towards construction materials management with the final goal of reducing EU external supply dependency as well as leading an efficient use of resources. DIGIECOQUARRY will develop systems, technology and processes for integrated digitisation and automation real-time process control, to be piloted in 5 EU quarries with the target of improving health and safety conditions for workers. The pilot campaigns will lead to improved efficiency of processes maximizing quarry resources and sustainable management of water, energy emissions, minimised environmental impact and expanding the EU aggregates and construction business. Coupling Artificial Intelligence approaches with cyber-physical systems and the Internet of Things concept, make Industry 4.0 approach possible and the smart sustainable extractive site a reality. All phases of the process, from extraction to the end user are covered by DIGIECOQUARRY, ensuring communication with policy makers, social awareness activities and international cooperation with Colombia and South Africa to share knowledge and best practices. The development of innovative an Intelligent Quarrying System (IQS) will increase the sustainable supply of minerals for the construction sector as well as enabling the sustainable extraction of EU´s mineral resources in existing and new quarries.
