As the impact of Covid-19 continues, Miners have Accelerated the Process of Automation
Yangtze River Nonferrous Metals News: According to a
mining.com report, a new study shows that, given the current Covid-19-related
restrictions, as companies accelerate the adoption of automation technology,
about 20% of people currently working in the mining and metal industries Face
the risk of being replaced by robots.
According to the latest "job prospects" report of
the World Economic Forum (WEF), 79% of mining companies are accelerating the
digitization of their work processes and adopting tools such as video
conferencing. Of these, 26.3% are accelerating task automation.
50% of companies are accelerating automation and 84% of companies are accelerating digitalization
Although this number is lower than the global average-50% of
companies are accelerating automation and 84% of companies are accelerating
digitalization-they show a shift towards how and by whom.
The report pointed out that technical proficiency, analytical
thinking, creativity and flexibility are the skills that mining employers value
most when recruiting and replacing employees.
Saadia Zahidi, Executive Director of the World Economic Forum, said: “Covid-19 has accelerated the arrival of future jobs
The
acceleration of automation and the impact of the Covid-19 recession have
deepened existing inequalities in the labor market and reversed the global
financial crisis since 2007-2008. Employment growth achieved."
Experts warn that by 2025, automation and the new division of
labor between humans and machines will cause the loss of 85 million jobs in
large and medium-sized companies in 15 industries and 26 economies around the
world.
Roles in areas such as data entry, accounting and
administrative support will continue to decrease, while the demand for
automation and digital professionals will continue to surge.
What is the digital agenda of the miners?
The digital agenda of the miners has strained their
relationship with the union, which is worried that the demand for manual labor
will be reduced to a minimum.
