The article presents the outcomes of the illuMINEation project "Bright concepts for a safe & sustainable digital mining future”, funded within the Horizon 2020 Programme (Grant Agreement No. 869379). This project aimed to create solutions that increase the safety and efficiency of production processes in mining. To implement these provisions, a number of hardware, software, and algorithm solutions were created. Hardware results take the form of stand-alone devices and elements built onto mining machines, while software projects may be stand-alone IIoT platform or algorithms to be implemented within the existing IT infrastructure.
