There are four distinct types of mining methods, and each method has its own technique, tools, and regulations on how the mining should be done.
Mining is a profession where miners work to extract objects from under the earth’s surface.
Often, these objects are precious metals, such as gold or palladium, or materials that have economic value, such as oil or gas. [Read more…] about A Complete Guide to Four Main Methods of Mining
Robot maker ANYbotics has unveiled its collaboration with BASF, one of the largest global chemical manufacturers, which involves the use of the ANYmal robot for inspections at Ludwigshafen, Germany. (See video below.)
The two companies say the collaboration “displays the efficiency, quality, and scalability of robotic inspection and data-collection capabilities in complex industrial environments”.
On production floors, robotics and manufacturing have gone hand-in-hand for decades. But on industrial plants, repetitive inspections, environment mapping, and efficiency analytics have mostly relied on manual work. These physical efforts impact economic sustainability, as well as process reliability and data quality. [Read more…] about ANYmal robot being put to work inspecting BASF facility
