“…At the same time, the future trajectory is shaped by market forces, thus optimism needs to be measured with due regard for investment appetite and economic conditions. For technically challenging and complex problems, project delivery often takes on a minimum viable product approach [132], [133] coupled with validation stage gates during a project's life span.…”

This survey article provides a synopsis on some of the engineering problems, technological innovations, robotic development and automation efforts encountered in the mining industry-particularly in the Pilbara iron-ore region of Western Australia. The goal is to paint the technology landscape and highlight issues relevant to an engineering audience to raise awareness of AI and automation trends in mining. It assumes the reader has no prior knowledge of mining and builds context gradually through focused discussion and short summaries of common open-pit mining operations. The principal activities that take place may be categorized in terms of resource development, mine-, rail-and port operations. From mineral exploration to ore shipment, there are roughly nine steps in between. These include:

“…When applying agile techniques to the development of complex technical systems, however, existing frameworks known from the software industry not adequately consider the complexity caused by strong interdependencies between and within the system elements (Riesener et al 2019). Through the early use of simulation software, a simulation-driven development process is aimed at which designers and engineers create a basis for joint developments and thus a basis for discussion, suggestions and new ideas (Enkler and Sporleder 2019). Agile principles in the product development domain require: (i) Collaboration and problemsolving are more important than following a specific procedure.…”

Increased competition in the global market has forced companies to diversify their product ranges to meet the customers' changing needs and adopt product development strategies for mass customization or even one-of-a-kind production, which inevitably requires designing modular products. Product modularity is achieved via platform-based systems, in which various combinations of different modules are assembled within a common platform. The smart factories that are already beginning to appear to employ a completely new approach to product creation. In smart industry, dynamic business and engineering processes enable last-minute changes to design and production, delivering the ability to respond flexibly to disruptions and failures on behalf of suppliers. This paper presents a case study of product development and design process renovation according to agile and lean principles in one-of-a-kind industrial environments. It defines how changeability integrates with robust, concurrent and smart design strategies. Introduction of agility to highly individualized production environments is mostly about enhancing the robustness of new product development processes. Product development and manufacturing processes are interconnected therefore they need to be re-engineered together. The presented work aims to deliver a generalized conceptual framework that demonstrates how companies in such specific environments can improve smartness and profitability through the utilization of agility concepts.

“…However, no method is known at this time which handle ECM as a specific process in the agile process. The CAx tool chain also must be adapted accordingly [19]. Through the early use of simulation software, a simulation-driven development process is targeted, wherein designers and engineers create a basis for joint developments and thus a basis for discussion, suggestions and new ideas.…”

Engineering Change Management (ECM) is an essential constituent of any product development project, these project are highly dynamic process of knowledge generation and reuse for products, projects, processes and resources within a enterprise. Currently, ECM is fully document-, and at least partially paper-based, and needs to be transformed to a fully model-based standard workflow. Changes, uncertainty and hidden processes should be seen as regular events. For the agile process, a rapid and flexible handling of task items is necessary. Due to the unpredictable character and short time of singular task items, we have developed a new approach to collect all changes to a superordinate, master change note as a standard, common object in the product structure, and to and update this master change note as often as necessary. This change note is assigned to a product during its entire lifecycle. It collects changes in the product and related processes and equipment. We present a new approach in order to facilitate a full object-oriented support of all activities related to the change process. On each update, singular task items can be re-prioritized within this master change note according to the current needs.
