Celebrate the success of the Second Business Breakfast with EIT RawMaterials!

With an impressive turnout of nearly 90 participants, this year’s December 5 event was a dynamic convergence of ideas, featuring seven engaging speeches in the “share an idea” session, five thought-provoking presentations, and an enriching experience with three panel discussions.

At the event, Digital Mining Center research team member Adam Wróblewski took the stage to present the goals, capabilities, and achievements of the ECHO project. ECHO also hosted a panel discussion on the pros and cons of mining electrification.

Adam Wróblewski also led the discussion. We were honored to have esteemed guests join the panel, including Andrzej Czajkowski from Mine Master, Krzysztof Okrent from ZANAM, Sebastian Skala from ABB, Jan Wandzio from KGHM, and Jan Zawilak from Wroclaw University of Science and technology. The panel discussed the impact of electrification on production efficiency and safety in mining. The role of electrification in the development of autonomous mining machinery and full autonomy of mines was discussed. The advantages and disadvantages of this solution were also analyzed, noting the potential negative impact on occupational safety and the possible threat of reduced employment in the mining sector. The potential benefits of electrification solutions were discussed, with a particular focus on their impact on safety in mining.

The energy and enthusiasm generated by the Business Breakfast demonstrates our community’s commitment to innovation and collaboration. We look forward to building on this momentum and continuing to create influential events that foster knowledge sharing and professional development.
