Overview
In a rapidly evolving industrial landscape, the Mining and Steel sectors are undergoing a profound transformation driven by automation, digitalization, and advanced technology integration. The convergence of smart technologies such as Artificial Intelligence, IoT, Big Data, Robotics, and Cloud Computing is not only optimizing operations but also redefining value chains, ensuring sustainability, and enhancing global competitiveness. As India charts its path toward becoming a global steel powerhouse and achieving the vision of Viksit Bharat by 2047, the role of automation, digitalization, and technological transformation becomes increasingly critical.
Recognizing the strategic importance of these innovations, FICCI organized the first edition of the Conference on Automation, Digitalization & Technology Integration for the Mining & Steel Sector on August 22, 2024. The first edition witnessed overwhelming participation of more than 300 delegates and generated valuable discourse among policy makers, industry leaders, and technology providers. Building on that momentum, the second edition aims to foster deeper collaboration and scale the adoption of smart technologies across the value chain.
