Interoperability requires the exchange of contextualised information between mining systems for productive, safe and cost-effective mines. This includes managing interfaces between mobile equipment. It also includes the efficient use of fuel and other resources that reduce greenhouse gas emissions. This section provides relevant interoperability:

  • Case studies
  • Research and guidance material
  • Links to interoperability resources
