“…Thus, these technologies can help internationalize the closure of material loops (de Sa & Korinek, 2021). In addition, popular technologies like automation, robotics, analytics and big data, 3D printing, artificial intelligence, machine learning, and drones are also finding applications in the M&M industry (Barnewold, 2019;Clausen et al, 2022). The terms "Smart Mining" and "Mining 4.0" have been coined to depict the implementation of digital technologies in the mining sector.…”

PurposeThis study aims to address three research questions pertaining to climate neutrality within the supply chain of metal and mining industry: (1) How can an organization implement practices related to climate neutrality in the supply chain? (2) How do members of the supply chain adopt different measures and essential processes to assist an organization in responding to climate change-related concerns? (3) How can the SAP-LAP framework assist in analyzing and proposing solutions to attain climate neutrality?Design/methodology/approachTo address the proposed research questions concerning climate neutrality, this study employs a case study approach utilizing the SAP-LAP (situation, actor, process–learning, action, performance) framework. Within the SAP-LAP framework, adopting a natural resource-based perspective, the study thoroughly examines the intricacies and interactions among existing situations, pertinent actors and processes that impact climate initiatives within a metal and mining company.FindingsThe study's findings suggest that organizations can achieve the objective of climate neutrality by prioritizing resources and capabilities that lead to reduced GHG emissions, lower energy consumption and optimal resource utilization. The study further proposes key elements that significantly influence the pursuit of climate neutrality within enterprises.Research limitations/implicationsThis study is one of the earliest contributions to the development of a holistic understanding of climate neutrality in the supply chain of the metal and mining industry.Practical implicationsThe study will assist practitioners and policymakers in comprehending the present circumstances, actors and processes involved in enterprises' supply networks in order to attain climate neutrality in supply chains, as well as in taking the right steps to enhance performance.Originality/valueThis study presents a climate neutrality model and provides valuable insights into emission management, contributing to the achievement of the climate neutrality objective.

“…According to construction market needs, the increase in mining activities around the world 9 , the increase in tunnel construction due to rapid urbanization in emerging economies 10 , and the growth in construction repairs in developed countries demand excessive automation of concrete placement 11 . Shotcrete (sprayed concrete) is increasingly becoming popular among contractors and builders, as its application is extremely economical and flexible 12 .…”

The importance of construction automation has grown worldwide, aiming to deliver new machineries for the automation of roads, tunnels, bridges, buildings and earth-work construction. This need is mainly driven by (i) the shortage and rising costs of skilled workers, (ii) the tremendous increased needs for new infrastructures to serve the daily activities and (iii) the immense demand for maintenance of ageing infrastructure. Shotcrete (sprayed concrete) is increasingly becoming popular technology among contractors and builders, as its application is extremely economical and flexible as the growth in construction repairs in developed countries demand excessive automation of concrete placement. Even if shotcrete technology is heavily mechanized, the actual application is still performed manually at a large extend. RoBétArméEuropean project targets the Construction 4.0 transformation of the construction with shotcrete with the adoption of breakthrough technologies such as sensors, augmented reality systems, high-performance computing, additive manufacturing, advanced materials, autonomous robots and simulation systems, technologies that have already been studied and applied so far in Industry 4.0. The paper at hand showcases the development of a novel robotic system with advanced perception, cognition and digitization capabilities for the automation of all phases of shotcrete application. In particular, the challenges and barriers in shotcrete automation are presented and the RoBétArmésuggested solutions are outlined. We introduce a basic conceptual architecture of the system to be developed and we demonstrate the four application scenarios on which the system is designated to operate.

“…Thus, there are approximately 25,000 mining companies in the world today, including metals, industrial minerals, and coal (Hodge et al 2022). This industry is also facing a technological shift with Industry 4.0 creating new conditions for mining (Lund et al, 2024), which is predominantly affecting industrial mining operations (Clausen et al, 2022).…”

Despite the relevance of Chile's mining industry, risk models applied to contracts have not been intensively developed. This is a quantitative descriptive research, which focuses on the results of a risk assessment methodology applied for the analysis of potential industry 4.0 technologies to be implemented by contractor companies in Chile's mining sector. In this paper, an overview about mining 4.0 was done and Chile's large mining companies were analyzed during 2021-2022, obtaining contracts information from a relevant copper producer. A case was selected to apply the model and semi-structured in-depth interviews were conducted with the stakeholders involved in this industry. Based on our results we found small contracts concentrated the largest number of low and moderate-priority projects, but also the largest number of high-priority contracts. However, from a mining company's perspective, it seems that big projects are riskier than small projects under the future effects of Industry 4.0 technologies.
