Organisations across the mining and metals value chain are striving to make faster and more informed decisions while managing risk and reducing environmental impact. Digital transformation has emerged as a key strategic imperative, with digital twin technology playing a pivotal role. For the metals industry, digital twins offer tangible value across multiple dimensions – smarter operations through real-time monitoring and scenario-based optimisation; safer workplaces by allowing virtual testing and limiting human exposure to high-risk environments, and enhanced sustainability and ESG performance. However, realising the full potential of digital twins requires more than mere technology adoption. It demands strong data foundations, integration with existing automation and enterprise systems and workforce readiness.

The mission of this webinar is to discuss the role of digital twins in driving efficiency, safety, and sustainability across the metals and minerals value chain, current level of adoption and emerging solutions.
