Dassault Systèmes has partnered with TEXMiN (Technology Innovation in Exploration & Mining) Foundation — the technology innovation hub of IIT (ISM) Dhanbad — to set up a Centre of Excellence in India to provide technology support and prepare the workforce of the future, specific to the mining and allied industries.

Digital transformation

As a technology and solution partner, Dassault Systèmes will provide experiential learning through its 3DEXPERIENCE platform to support the industrial and start-up ecosystem with complete pit-to-port optimisation — from geological modelling and mine engineering, to workforce and production scheduling, supply chain optimisation, portfolio optimisation and plant design.

“Today, sustainability, traceability and safety are paramount for mining organisations. This can only be achieved by accelerating their digital transformation journey and integrating the entire value chain from the mine, to the plant, to the port,” said a press statement.
