Autonomous mining, industrial digitalization, and trust – these three factors are shaping the future of heavy industry
As a Saxon-based, technology-driven software and systems company, staff-eye develops customized software solutions for demanding industrial applications. A particular focus is placed on autonomous systems in mining and heavy industry, where safety, reliability, and scalability are critical.
In der vergangenen Woche hatten wir gemeinsam mit unserem Partner ABD Solutions und mit Unterstützung der GMB GmbH die Gelegenheit, LEAG Lausitz Energie Bergbau nahe Cottbus an der deutsch-polnischen Grenze zu besuchen.
Especially in such highly complex industrial environments, it becomes clear:
successful autonomy does not arise from technology alone, but from partnership-based collaboration, trust, and a shared vision among operators, technology partners, and integrators.
Impressive scale – and enormous potential for autonomy
The scale on site is exceptional:
- the 501-meter-long F60 conveyor bridge
- bucket-wheel excavators with diameters of up to 25 meters
- parallel mining faces with over 300,000 tons of material moved per day
Gleichzeitig befindet sich der Tagebau im Wandel – hin zur Rekultivierung und nachhaltigen Nutzung.
This is exactly where there is enormous potential for autonomous vehicles, intelligent control and assistance systems:
they can increase occupational safety, make processes more efficient, and actively support the sustainable transformation of such mega-sites.
Industrial autonomy from Saxony – for Europe
What we see here is impressive engineering excellence from the region — and a strong environment for the next stage of industrial autonomy.
Bergbau begeistert. Autonomie gestaltet die Zukunft.
