Institute for Advanced Mining Technologies of RWTH Aachen University
The Institute for Advanced Mining Technologies of RWTH Aachen University develops technologies for the automation and digitalization of mining machines and processes toenable safe, efficient and responsible raw material extraction. An important core area of the institute is the development of sensor technologies and corresponding algorithms for thegeneration, acquisition and processing of data and information along the entire data-information-value-chain. The challenging environmental conditions in mines place particularly high demands on people, machines, sensors and algorithms and require robust, connected and intelligent systems and solutions.
